The Farm at Grace Hill

37mi from Bardstown · 4 sites · RVs, Lodging

The Farm at Grace Hill is a living, breathing sanctuary — a blend of history, healing, and heart. It’s not just land; it’s a place where people, animals, and nature reconnect. The property holds deep roots, both literally and spiritually. At the soul of the farm is the herd — a group of special-needs and retired horses who have found peace and purpose here. They’re not “working” animals; they’re partners in transformation. The land feels like a retreat from the modern world: rolling Kentucky pastures framed by mature trees, the gentle rhythm of wind, birdsong, and horses grazing. There’s a sacred stillness in the mornings and a golden warmth in the evenings. Every detail — from the renovated 1977 Airstream tucked near the paddocks to the gardens and cozy corners — reflects intention, creativity, and care. It’s a space that invites both freedom and grounding, perfect for reflection, restoration, and inspiration.

Weekend Trip to The Tipi Village

Mark is very kind and accommodating. He greeted us when we got there and gave us the lay of the land and info on stuff to do around the area. We had a fantastic time sitting around the fire at night. It was very quiet. It is in a suburban area but it was a very fun experience and we didn't see anyone the whole time. It's not air tight so bugs can get in however we had just come from tent camping and sleeping on a bed was very nice. It's a fun, different experience and close to Mammoth Caves.

Great little spot. We stayed with 3 kids and 2 adults. The accommodations were awesome, we stayed in the loft but walked around and think the caves look awesome for the next trip. I do wish there was a way to get to the lake, it’s not far but it’s a steep drop. But otherwise everything was magic. Got to meet the owner, she was running around taking care of things and was back early then next morning to open up the little cafe. Props to her keeping that place running, it’s awesome!

Writing this review for my bf; I booked but he stayed the night. He said our dogs loved it and he was super happy with the Beachhouse. He loved that the shampoos/soaps were provided, as well as clean towels and wash cloths. Our two dogs thoroughly enjoyed themselves as well! He wants to book another stay if we have the time on our trip back.

The directions to the camper were pretty easy to follow. Private and cute little spot. I wish it had been cooler during our stay so we could enjoy the firepit on the porch. The camper itself was very comfortable. Well stocked with basic kitchen amenities. The bed was super comfortable. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

One of the prettiest and most thoughtfully designed Airbnbs I've ever stayed in! Everything was spotless, well organized, and the hosts truly thought of every little detail, we never needed anything that wasn't already there. We arrived while it was raining, and the views were absolutely amazingggg, making the whole place feel even cozier. It was easy to find. My only tinyyyy wish is that checkout was at 11 AM instead of 10 AM since the checkin was 4pm I believe, but everything else was perfect. Can't wait to come back!

Staying at this site was truly one of the most if not THE most relaxing bnb experiences I’ve had. I thought it would be a bit further back on the property but it is still just perfect. Everything was so cozy, the temperature control inside is perfect and that porch is to die for!! The couch and bed inside too is so comfy. You can tell the work this couple put into the renovations and upkeep here to keep it gorgeous and serene. The price nightly couldn’t be better either so this will definitely be my go to stay when I come out to Louisville! It’s about 30 minutes from most things so it was just the perfect “outside the city” stay❤️
