Summer Time in Kentucky!
Well, the lazy days of summer are definitely here! The smell of sour mash from the distilleries is in the
air. If you have never visited our beautiful state, this is the time to do it! Lounge around with friends on
the large back patio or sit and sip a bourbon in our front porch rockers and watch the orange sun setting
in the West.
If lounging is not your speed, remember, there are a lot of great places to see this time of year from
touring the Bourbon Trail to seeing Civil War sites or visiting My Old Kentucky Home! Even if just for a
day or two, join us where you can experience our bourbon and that southern cooking and sometimes our
bourbon in our cooking! We are just 3 miles from Maker's Mark Distillery and less than 30 minutes from
Heaven Hill, Jim Beam, Wild Turkey, Four Roses and many others. Check out our "Special Interests"
page to see what the area has to offer.
If you are coming with a group and would like to arrange a lunch or dinner while you are visiting the
area, we are here to please! Valinda's Catering has many options from which to choose.
Just give us a call and we will cater to your need! We hope to see you in 2010!
Cheers,
Lisa Marie

About Our Business
Our beautiful home was originally built in the mid 1800's.
After many years of neglect, we purchased the property in
2000 and immediately began a plan to restore the old
warmth and charm that we could see had existed so many
years ago.
We completely gutted the building (as you can see in the
photos to the right), save for the original floors and
beautiful staircase. We upgraded all of the utilities, and
added the modern comforts that help to make your stay
most enjoyable, like central heating and air conditioning,
ceiling fans, whirlpool tubs, a cable TV in each guest room,
and a first-class kitchen.
On the first floor, you'll find The Thoroughbred Room with
a private bath featuring a whirlpool tub and dual
shower-heads. The parlor has a piano, T.V., stereo and
sitting area with fireplace, where you can relax as you
please. The formal dining room is perfect for a quaint
meal, and the large, bright "Event Room" is ideal for larger
group gatherings. The modern kitchen is a natural
gathering place (what kitchen isn't!?) and here you'll find a
small table for an informal snack or a quick bite to eat.
The second floor has 3 guest rooms, each with it's own full
size bath. There is also a small balcony where you can
relax in the comforts of home.
From the kitchen, step out onto the secluded patio
surrounded by seasonal flowers. Smoking is permitted on
the patio, as well as on the front porch where you'll find
rocking chairs for your enjoyment to finish-off the day.
Whether you're just passing through or planning an event,
you'll find our staff ready to help make your experience a
memorable one.
