Other Details to Note

Location: Our cabin is conveniently located just 10 minutes from downtown Frankfort, where you can explore local shops, restaurants, and historical sites. Bourbon enthusiasts will be thrilled to know that the Buffalo Trace Distillery is a mere 7-minute drive away, allowing you to easily explore one of the most iconic distilleries on the Bourbon Trail. For those looking to enjoy water activities, a ramp providing access to the Kentucky River is just a 5-minute drive from the cabin. Working Farm: Please keep in mind that the cabin is situated on a working farm. While this adds to the authentic rural charm of your stay, it also means that you should be prepared for the weather, wildlife, and terrain. Come prepared for wind and other seasonal weather. We recommend taking appropriate precautions such as wearing insect repellent and checking for ticks after outdoor activities. The farm terrain can be uneven, with rocks and other natural obstacles, so please watch your step and wear appropriate footwear when exploring the property. Finally, please be mindful that some of the cattle fences are electrified. Cabin Access: To reach the cabin, guests will need to walk down a short gravel path. While the path is well-maintained, it may not be suitable for individuals with limited mobility. Steep Stair Treads: Inside the cabin, please be cautious when using the stairs to access the loft area. The stair treads are steeper than standard steps, which may present a challenge for some guests, especially those with very young children.

My sisters and I enjoyed our weekend stay. We used this as our base for our bourbon trail visits and enjoyed hiking nearby. The space was very relaxing and we loved the fire pit.

I heard many great things about The Highgrounds and the Ironweed cabin and it did not disappoint. The cabin, interiors, and amenities matched their descriptions and photos. I never had reason to contact the either the Host or their Father who lives on the farm. This location is perfect for artists, writers, or for those who want a peaceful place to regroup. There are local restaurants, bourbon distilleries, and shopping nearby but, for me, they did not lure me away from The Highgrounds. Go. Enjoy.
