About this house rental
Nestled in acres of Kentucky woods and hills, Castle Hill Haven is close to civilization but worlds away from its bustle.
Relax in your Tower Suite, complete with luxury ensuite bathroom and almost 700 sq. ft. of living space, spectacular views, and a private balcony, or in one of five other bedrooms. Climb the spiral staircase to curl up with a book from the third-floor library or read in the Tower Suite window seat overlooking the front lawn. Pick berries and apples when they're in season, ramble in eleven acres of private land, or take a stroll down to the barn to see the chickens or feed the goats. The kids in your party can enjoy the play area in the third-floor library or play in The Cottage, a heated/cooled two-story playhouse with attached play set and a sitting/sleeping room with TV/DVD player and twin lofts. Use of the Cottage is available for day use or sleeping space for an additional $49 per day.
Cook dinner in our fully-stocked custom kitchen. Enjoy meals on one of two outdoor decks or in one of three indoor eating areas (see photos), complete with KamadoJoe grill.
Relax with an evening bonfire (check with host beforehand for wood supply) and enjoy our farm animals on site (details below).

10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2023
Our team stayed together at the Castle Hill Haven. It was a very memorable experience and was thanks to Jody and her gracious family.
She was very accommodating from letting us check-in a couple hours early, to letting us use her laundry room (in a shared space for both the rental property and her host space) so we can wash our Jerseys for games.
The location is not within a good source of cellular signal, but the property does have a pretty strong wifi connection. (almost 15 devices connected at once) The commute from Elizabethtown Spoets Complex to the house was the only frustrating part due to the signal situation. Nothing that Castle Haven is responsible for.
I would highly recommend staying with this property mainly because of how great the hosts are during your stay!

Dear Jody and David,
We had a fantastic time in your lovely home. Big enough to fit our whole family and beautifully appointed. We loved the peaceful setting — near enough to do what we wanted to do in the area and yet quiet and restful. Thanks again for being such wonderful hosts!

Jody generously attended to details to accommodate a family gathering at this private country retreat. A fun house for a 3 yr. old with toys and wonderful books to read. Enjoyed the chickens, goats, & new kittens. Comfortable eating areas to accommodate everyone. Space to spread out and have some privacy as well. The kitchen was well furnished - nice appliances and plenty of tools to prepare your own meals.
