Vacation rentals in Defoe

What a lovely cottage. Great location and easy hostesses to work with. If you're planning on traveling to Bardstown, this is THE place to stay.

The house was as described and was perfect for what we needed. There is noise from the neighborhood and nearby airport, but it wasn't intrusive to our stay.

Kim helped me get reservations set up for my parents anniversary, for the second year in a row. She is extremely kind and helpful, and my parents loved her place and the area so much they went back! Very clean and nice place, plenty of extra amenities, beautiful views of the lake and surrounding area and wildlife, good restaurants within driving distance, and plenty of privacy and a feeling of safety and calm! Thank you again Kim from all of us, especially my very happy parents!

We enjoyed our stay very much. Home was exactly what we were looking for with our selection. Peaceful area with hiking near the home in the Taylorsville State Park.

Great spot. A lot of recreational space. Very responsive hosts. Close to a Walmart, which was great. Couldn’t think of a better spot if you are doing the Bourbon Trail.

The opportunity for me and my brother to enjoy the NCAA tourney while cooking on the grill, enjoying bourbon bought after our tour of Buffalo Trace distillery, all the while taking in the vast landscape by the fire pit and enjoying the Western Kentucky breeze and sunset. If you are looking for a true get away and enjoying a vaca solo or with loved ones this is the spot for you. Just wish we had bought more bourbon and firewood cause both never lasted long enough enjoying the conversations and the night sky. Definitely one for the memory books.

Catawba Farms was an excellent choice for my family. My husband and I brought our grandchildren and neither were ever board. My grandson is a train lover and could not get outside fast enough when he heard the train coming. The animals, the freedom to roam, the big tree with the swing in the backyard, and the peace is just a tidbit of the goodness we found at the farm! Faith is super kind and very responsive. We spent two days, back and forth, to the creation museum, The Ark Encounter and driving into Cincinnati, all of which were within an hours drive. Thank you, Faith, for sharing your home and treating us like family!

This home was perfect for 3 couples. Living room furniture was very comfortable! We all want to buy those couches now. Very nice setting, and enjoyed the winery literally in the backyard. Host was very friendly and even brought us fans for the bedrooms that didn't have them. Will definitely stay again in the future. Close enough to Bardstown activities but far enough away to feel private and secluded at the same time.

Me and my wife absolutely loved it. It was off by itself with a beautiful view of the big one and field. It reminded us of home. Really enjoyed it. And was good location between the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum! Loved it.
