About this house rental
KIMBLES FARMHOUSE is a cozy, spacious home that Kimble built from an old wooden corn crib with his own 2 hands. It is just 5 minutes from Lake Shelbyville, but out in the country where the views and the tranquility of the farm make it seem like you are in your own little paradise! It has 3 large bedrooms that sleep a total of 9 people ( one of the bedrooms is a suite with a bath of its own, 2 sitting chairs and its own dining table), 2 full bathrooms, a large eat in kitchen, an adjoining dining room, an inviting living room for great conversations, a patio with a grill and seating to cook out and take in all the scenery, a laundry room with a washer and dryer, electric plugs for boats, and plenty of parking for your boats, cars and trucks! There is a maximum length of stay of 10 days. If longer is needed you will have to contact and approve through owner.
Kimble's Farmhouse sets on a beautiful hill in the middle of an 80 acre farm that Kimble purchased in 1959 when he was just 19 years old.
It is a working farm where guests can look down over the hillside and see a breathtaking view of the landscape, including cattle that sprinkle the hillside.
The cattle are fed every evening in the feedlot and guests can watch as they come running up the hill and are fed at the silo. There are, at times, bottle calves and guests can witness those feedings as well and try your hand at it, if you would like!
There will be corn and bean plantings in the spring and corn and bean harvests in the fall on the farm.
If you are lucky enough to be there during harvest time, you can probably hitch a combine ride!
We would LOVE to have you as our guests at KIMBLE'S FARMHOUSE!

So we really had a great time and thought that overall the property served its purpose and for our group it worked well. We were the dad of two, the mom of two, two of mom's daughter's friends and two of dad's friends. All were 18yrs old and above....Let's start with the positives:1. This place was IMMACULATE! So clean! We never saw any bugs, dust, garbage, anything.... we actually couldn't believe it!2. Very ample seating for all 10 of us to eat at the same time3. Nice porch for morning coffee and conversation!4. Clean garage with plenty of space! (the first night it rained so we set up a cornhole tourney in the garage. Not quite regulation space, lol but the garage is even AIR CONDITIONED so we were very comfortable playing music and having a blast out there)5. There is plenty of silverware and coffee mugs for a big group. Nice coffee maker too!6. Plenty of outlets throughout the house!7. Beds and couches were quite comfy8. Tons of parking space!9. Washer/dryer are very convenient to have onsite10. We really enjoyed the story of Kimble and the pics of him and his kids on the wall.11. VICKY! Vicky is the property manager and is so friendly and so accessible! Made us feel very comfortable there and had an answer to our questions super quick!!! Thank you Vicky!Ok, no place can be perfect. So here are our recommendations to improve for a better stay....1. Internet. Phone service was dicey as well so getting data on our phones was difficult and when we were there for boating purposes, we really wanted access to radar and weather reports. (There is a company called Hughesnet that does satellite internet). This is the number one thing that we were missing on this trip!2. No tv in the master suite3. The larger upstairs room has a little bit of a tough time staying cool so adding a fan to help circulate the air would maybe help.Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to make this place so clean and accommodating for us. If we ever get back to Shelbyville to go boating we would stay at your place again.
