Urban Loft 5,000 SqFt. Sleeps 17 Next to Frankfort Distilleries,PERFECT LOCATION

"The biggest and best rental option in downtown Shelbyville, Urban Loft is the best place to stay in town. It’s an absolutely breathtaking space with enough sleeping space for well over a dozen guests to comfortably co-habitate, but the space is so absolutely picture perfect and secluded that you might have trouble coaxing all your traveling companions to ever leave." - Bourbon Review Magazine

Breathtaking! Super exclusive high end downtown loft that has been at the center of many articles and television spots. Unlike any other space you will find at this price point! This location has been at the centerpiece of many television and print publications regionally. No expense has been spared converting this space into a luxurious 4 bedroom + 3 1/2 bed loft apartment centrally located between Lexington and Louisville KY.

My family and I met here for Christmas, as we live in different states, and it was absolutely perfect. The home was beautiful, incredibly clean, and had everything we could possibly need. The location was ideal, and the host’s communication was outstanding. It truly felt like a home away from home. A 10 out of 10 experience—would highly recommend to anyone!

For 5 days my closest friends and family called the Loft our Headquarters. Perfectly located between Louisville, Lexington, Frankfort, and Bardstown we were able to explore the best of Kentucky and return home to a space built for community. The large dining table, enormous couch, spacious kitchen, outdoor patio, and perfectly accommodating rooms fit the varied needs of every activity we could dream of. It was a fairy tale trip largely due to the magical Loft.

Couldn’t speak highly enough for our stay here. Our hosts were gracious and easy to work with. The place itself is immaculate and perfect for a large group or family. I highly recommend and we’re already looking to book to go back!

Perfect property! The accommodations were so perfect we never went out to eat anywhere. We always bought food at the grocery store and cooked at the house. We had 8 adults and there was always plenty of space.

We booked your location for a Team Meeting. It amazing. We had your suggested chef, Bill Walters, come in to make us dinner and that was amazing. We even hired your suggested transportation person, Ben to drive our team to a location for bourbon tour. So neat to have had the owner join us for drinks one night as well. Perfect location and accommodations!

This property met all of out needs. We had 5 couples stay. We each had our own room and plenty of bathrooms. It was very clean and had everything we needed in the kitchen. The location was perfect as we did the bourbon trail hitting up Louisville, Bardstown and Frankfort. We also did the horse races at Keeneland. It was the perfect central location with great places to eat in walking distance. Thank you, Ben for your hospitality.

We had all our family under one roof for my nephews wedding at The Gatsby right next door. We had the best time ever!! The town was great too. Cute stores in town that are all walking distance. We loved the loft, so spacious and beautiful. Just what we were looking for being all together

This place was amazing, from the moment you step into the loft, you recognize the space and the cleanliness, you could imagine it to be any better. The downtown location is perfect, it's quiet and full of shops to enjoy. Even driving back and forth to Louisville was fine because once we got back to the loft we got to enjoy our friends and family. We had a blast and will be back!

Gorgeous. And I mean gorgeous home. Staircase up was a bit steep so be mindful for those who may have bad knees or difficulty climbing steps). But wow. Huge windows, bathrooms were insane, kitchen was large enough to feed 15 hangry girls. Stereo through house was an added bonus -able to adjust volumes in different rooms. Great for a group of friends. The bachelorette stunned by how beautiful the home was- we had so much fun and I’m so glad we picked this place!

Five couples stayed here for two nights. We enjoyed the decor, comfy beds, steam shower, and beautiful windows. We enjoyed the creativity of the renovation of the interior. Access is by a narrow door and up a tall stairwell. We walked to a nearby restaurant for dinner and found the town and residents charming. We all agreed this is the most memorable Vrbo we’ve stayed in and we felt very privileged to be able to experience this property. We hope to return next year!

The photos don't lie. This vrbo unit was beautiful, well decorated, thoughfully furnished, and well equipped for groups. Shelbyville itself was also a sweet surprise, with ample restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, a brewery across street, etc.

The loft was amazing. Everything you could want was included. However the outdoor deck cushions were worn and had holes and tears. The stairs to the loft were steep and narrow. Our host had double booked the last day of our stay.

Our daughter got married in the gardens in Shelbyville. We rented this fabulous loft for our immediate family, including both of our 90+ year old mother’s. It was perfect for the entire family. The space is amazing and the decor impeccable. The one thing I was concerned about for our mothers was the climb to the loft. But they took the stairs in stride. Thank you Ben and Melinda for sharing your beautiful loft with us.
