The Farm at Grace Hill

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.

We used this spot as a home base for our yearly hunting trip. It was perfect for what we needed. Everyone on the farm was friendly and welcoming! You’ll get to know the horses and cats as they wander around the farm and sometimes come up to you to say hello. The cabin was a great common area and place to wind down after a long day of being out in the woods.

We loved our stay on Matthew’s land. The barndominium was so cute and had everything we needed for our weekend away. We were there for an event in the area so didn’t get to take advantage of the canoe, fishing poles or the patio space and grill.

This is a wonderful little spot to stay. I was here for 2 nights but it would work very as a long term stay. The trailer is set up expectionally well. It is easy to access and incredibly comfortable. Sitting on the deck you feel as if you are out in a swett valley but you are only 15 minutes from some great restaurants, hiking trails and parks. 25 minutes gets you to just about any place else in Louisville. I recommend the outdoor shower under the banana trees. Shelby does a wonderful job as a host and is very accommodating. I will definitely be back here.

This little place was the greatest. Was the perfect size and atmosphere was wonderful. They had nice setup to be able to have a campfire or even grill outside. Cute little pond as well. The bed was so comfortable. Was just perfect for 2. If we ever got back to Louisville we would love to try and rent this place again. Thanks for a great weekend.

1 night at Mollys Ridge Glamping and Camping
The stay was really nice! We enjoyed the fire in the evening and went in to the tent as the night went on. After it got cold enough, we used the gas heater and it was more than enough to keep us warm.
The potable water is limited, so if you need lots (cooking, cleaning) be sure to bring it in.
It was extremely private and lovely, but it looks like there may be a new cabin being built at the top of a very nearby hill which would make the place much less private. We prefer solo private spots, so we might need to check on this for future stays.

Weekend Trip to Barren River Magic
The peace pipe is a campers refuge! I loved the lower level sitting area, brought along flowers and a tablecloth and it made for a beautiful meditation/yoga sanctuary. The upstairs sleeping loft was a reprieve from the heat and had the best views of the land! Mostly, we spent our free time star gazing and strolling the river. It was an amazing getaway and we can't wait to come back!

I loved glamping in the camper on Shelby's land. The place is so comfy and the land is a dream. Saw the moon from the deck at night and woke up to the birds chirping. Every detail was perfect and the camper had every amenity you could dream of, including an amazing shower, both indoor and outdoor. Paradise in the country with first class amenities. Would definitely recommend and return.
