As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
As we head into fall and winter, you may be looking for a spot to get cozy and get away from everyday life. Kentucky is the perfect state for these retreats, as we have plenty of natural beauty and places that serve as a quiet oasis. Of course you could stay at a hotel or bed and breakfast, but why not plan a stay at a cozy cottage, cabin or home that is perfectly hidden in Kentucky? We’ve rounded up eight of the best, but be sure to do your own looking over at Airbnb to see what all is out there!
This adorable two bedroom, one bathroom cottage is nestled on an 80-acre horse farm less than 30 minutes from Louisville.

Roam the lovely property, hike amidst the 30 acres of woods and discover creeks and a waterfall. It's the perfect escape, close to the city.
Louisville's first permanent "Tiny House" may only be 448 sq ft, but it has everything you need for a cozy retreat. It's located in an up and coming area, but close to many restaurants, shops, and attractions. The outdoor area is delightful and perfect for relaxing!
If you're looking to truly unplug, then this 750 sq ft cabin is the hideaway for you.
