We had a group of 4 couples who stayed at this beautiful home. Everything was spot on as advertised. The surroundings were awesome, what a beautiful outdoor setting. The game room was an added bonus to enjoy fun games with the group. We vacation together once a year at a different place each year. This is one we would definitely return to.
Outstanding property in every way. Nice touches with coffee pods and creamers, a snack basket, the views, the spacious rooms, the left over containers. However, the communication through VRBO with the property manager is a joke. The only reply I got was "all clear" over and over again. The communication directly with Melissa and her team was great. Our recommendations would be: Tell VRBO they need to redesign their "you have a message from Melissa" page, Don't wait till the day of the rental start to have your renters forward a photo I.D. and sign the rental agreement. We were already on the road, and had to pull off to handle these necessary items. That could have been handled way before we were in route. The only other suggestion might be some safety grab bars in the bathroom areas, especially those with the tub/shower combo. Other than that, a wonderful experience well above our expectations. We would stay there again (if you'd have us)! :)
This place is everything the pictures advertise. We used it all except the fire pit which we would have if it hadnât been so hot outside. The out buildings are air conditioned and lots of fun. We brought our own puzzles and they fit great on the bar areas in the game room. We caught some fish in the pond, made use of the hammocks, played games in both of the out buildings, swam in the pool, enjoyed the hot tub, and there was plenty of room for 11 people of different ages in the house. The dining table converts into a long table and we all sat together for breakfast and dinner every day. We had a friendly visit from the big white dog from the neighbors and their cows are friendly also. It was a fun filled peaceful vacation in the rolling hills of Kentucky! Highly recommend this place!
Our family enjoyed a wonderful long weekend at White Dog. The pool l, hot tub, and game room were a huge hit for both kids and adults alike, and we enjoyed sâmores one evening over the propertyâs large fire pit. Beds were comfy and weather was perfect (we were there in late June). The host, Melissa, was alsobvery responsive. We are already talking about coming to stay again soon!
This was an awesome venue for a family vacation of adults ranging in ages from 29 to 80. The Game Room was a big hit with everyone. When you first walk into the building, you are amazed at the size and activities available. The house is absolutely gorgeous and is well stocked. You literally would have no need to bring anything other than your clothes. If you are in need something, Housekeeping & Maintenance is just a call away. We were disappointed that the pool was not heated given we were there in May.There is so much to occupy your time you wouldn't need to go anywhere. A beautiful retreat!
The property and house were amazing! I visited to use as a getaway and to experience the bourbon trail. My kids would have loved the game room if this wasnât an adult adventure, but the adults loved it also. The communication with the owner and property team were the best Iâve ever experienced.
Our host communication was incredible. The house was even better than the pictures and description. Lots of space and plenty of places to congregate. We travel to Kentucky one time per year for work purposes, and will make this our new regular place to stay. The property was absolutely beautiful!
This property is stunning, quiet, well-kept and offers a wonderful gathering place to spend time with family and friends. The house is gorgeous and well-stocked with all the essentials for a relaxing get away. The game room was loved by all and definitely a plus for the colder months when outside activities are minimal. The property is a great location to visit distilleries in the area and it's close to Bardstown, which is a must see at Christmas time. The check-in/check-out process was easy and the hosts were great to work with. We highly recommend this property! Would definitely return here.
We had a wonderful stay. The game room and fire pit areas were fantastic. There was always something to do. We got pictures of the comet and the super moon. There was a nice fireworks show to the east on our last night. Everything was provided for us. Thank you Melissa!
Celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary with our three children, their spouses and four grandchildren was absolutely amazing at this property. Plenty of space for everyone to relax and spread out. Days were spent in the pool and nights in the game room. We cooked/grilled every night. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. Thank you Melissa for the great service! We have already looked at your other properties to use for our next family trip!
We had eleven family members together to celebrate our parent's anniversary. The house and grounds are gorgeous! The layout of the house is great for that many people. Lots of areas to gather and visit or play games. There were a couple hiccups that were addressed very quickly. We also found out they were probably due to lightning or power surge from tornado that had come through the day before our visit. So, we can hardly blame them for freak occurrences. Overall, we all had an amazing time. We wish it had been warmer so we could've used the fire pit and pool. Maybe next time!!
This incredible estate was even better than advertised. With 12 adults we had plenty of space to relax, play, rest, interact, and enjoy the beauty of central Kentucky on a property which seemed brand new, was filled with all the amenities needed, plus had a huge game room and another completely separate bourbon + poker lounge. There is more than enough here to entertain in winter, but we will look to return in summer as there is not only a new hot tub, but a lake, a pool, corn hole, firepit, and more. This is one of those rare properties which would deliver year round. Truly a gem and perfect for friends or family as a base from which to explore the many great bourbon distilleries in central Kentucky. The owners left nothing to chance to ensure we enjoyed our stay and they provide great guides for to-do's in the region. Bravo!
