This was the perfect place for our stay! A friend and I came in for a quick trip but we left hoping to stay here when we come back again. The place was clean and comfortable. We had the pleasure of bumping into the owner who was extremely friendly. We didn't have any issues but I imagine they would have been addressed quickly. It's a short walk to a couple good coffee spots (School Grounds, Ugly Mug N Grub), a great brewery with the nicest bartender (Good Buddies), and a bakery with absolutely delicious homemade biscuits (Laicee's Cakes and More). And Maker's Mark (our main destination) is a short drive up the road. We're already looking forward to our return to Ticky's Cottage!

A Hidden Gem

Ticky's Cottage is one of the best homes that I have ever stayed at through VRBO. The host, Big C thought of every little thing that a guest may need. He is personable and will be there in a flash if you need anything. The kitchen is well stocked, the bathroom was spotless with many towels, soap, hairdryer, cups, etc. The living room has a wonderful couch and big screen tv. We did not use the tv but it is listed as a smart tv and I assume it too is in good working condition. There is also another large recliner that rocks. You may want to ask Big C how to operate this chair to stabalize the chair so it doesn't rock. The bedrooms were also comfortable and had a large dresser, lights and ample hangers and pillows. There were several charing outlets for computer and phones. The WiFi worked very well and had ample connections throughout the house. You won't be disappointed with this lovely 'home away from home' in a rural part of KY. Don't pass it up, you will regret it if you do!

Great getaway

We used this VRBO as a bit of a mini moon to celebrate our wedding from the weekend before and wow did we stumble across a gem! I wanted to plan a little getaway that wasn’t too far (we’re from Indiana) and had a pool. The cottage ticked all the boxes and ones we didn’t even know we had. The property was beautiful to walk around and the activities were so fun. Playing badmitton, swimming, waking the acres, grilling by the fire pit was a blast! And the location is perfect, Lebanon has a delightful small town vibe but still everything you could need. A Walmart and pharmacies within 5 min i case you forgot things, local eateries, wineries, bourbon, and a local bar with karaoke on Friday nights. The downtown is only a .5 mile walk from the cottage and has a farmers market that we used to get steaks and potatoes to grill on Saturday night. On top of all that the hosts are amazing. They were so friendly and helpful, but stayed out of your hair and let you enjoy your stay. He even lit the fire pit for us at night when we headed down. If you need any local suggestions or just want to chat they are full of friendly advice and stories. Chris has crafted and continues to improve on a wonderful property and its safe to say my wife and i will want to visit again.

Very well kept cabin with a beautiful pool and lots of land to roam around. Chris was very knowledgeable about the property, had great communication throughout the whole stay, and was very welcoming. We wanted a quiet stay, and that’s exactly what we got! Highly recommend staying here for a quiet getaway.

Perfect place to stay for our Bourbon adventures. Pool was nice and relaxing after a hot day touring around. Even got to enjoy a little bonfire at night and just relax! I love the decor in the cottage especially the little pig garbage can!!

We enjoyed our Bourbon Trail stay at this quaint cottage. There aren’t many places to stay in this rural area but our host gave us great recommendations.
