Historic Gem on the Bourbon Trail at The Copper

Copper is the private 2-bedroom listing of The Copper & Oak, a beautifully restored 1909 home located in historic downtown Shelbyville, Kentucky. Guests enjoy exclusive use of this entire private retreat — no shared spaces, no other guests on site during your stay. Perfect for couples, small groups, or a relaxing Bourbon Trail getaway, this stylish 2-bedroom, 2-bath retreat blends modern comfort with timeless Southern charm in an ideal location between Louisville, Frankfort, and Bardstown.

Inside, the home features warm décor, plush furnishings, and thoughtfully curated local artwork, including pieces by the 148th Kentucky Derby artist. The cozy living room creates the perfect place to unwind after a day exploring bourbon distilleries, horse farms, or the charm of downtown Shelbyville, while the smart TV, games, and comfortable seating make it easy to settle in for a relaxing evening.

The fully equipped kitchen offers sleek appliances, open shelving, and everything needed for meals at home, whether you’re starting the morning with coffee from the Keurig or gathering around the dining table after a day along the Bourbon Trail. Both king bedrooms are designed with comfort in mind, featuring premium linens and inviting spaces to recharge at the end of the day. The two stylish bathrooms include modern finishes and beautifully tiled showers for a polished, spa-like touch.

Outside, spend your evenings soaking in the hot tub beneath the stars, sharing drinks around the fire pit, or simply enjoying the laid-back atmosphere of Kentucky evenings. With private off-street parking and a walkable location near local coffee shops, restaurants, and boutiques, Copper at The Copper & Oak offers a comfortable and memorable stay in the heart of Bourbon Country.


*** Please Note ***
This listing offers exclusive access to the lower unit along with full use of the outdoor amenities, including the covered patio, private hot tub, and fire pit. Although The Copper & Oak is a 4-bedroom property in its entirety, no other guests will be on-site during your stay, allowing you to fully relax and enjoy the space in privacy.
