About this farm stay rental

The Bland-Overall House was built circa 1850 and is on the National Historic List. It is on the Nolin River, and also part of Camp Nevin, which was a Union Army Camp. Enjoy long walks, canoeing, kayaking, exploring our river cabin, the parlor, etc. You get to enjoy a ultra private location that is only 3 miles from the Blue Oval SK site and 7 miles from the Elizabethtown Sports Complex!

This pet-friendly home is close to Louisville, Bowling Green and the Bourbon Trail as well. It is a sister home to our house, where Nolin River Wildlife is located as well. Identical homes, actually built for two sisters over 160 years ago!

This is a very private setting in a historical home. There are 3 bedrooms, 1 with a king and 2 full beds. We have also just added a bedroom air conditioner for each of the three bedrooms to ensure you can control your own temperature when you go to bed!
However, the house does have central/heat and air, the individual air conditioners just for preference of temperature in each bedroom!

Great outdoor space with a fire pit, grill, table and chairs. We also put up string lights for you to enjoy the space after dark. Fire starters, matches, seasoned/split firewood and extra propane is included.

Also has a great game room with a poker table, bar and practice craps table! Also have many board games, jenga and backgammon as well. We also just added a basketball goal and a kayak for your enjoyment! Kayak in detached garage where basketball goal is.

Could also enjoy dinner at Tony York’s or The Whistle Stop in town, both wonderful!

Also enjoy the fully stocked kitchen to prepare your meals. Dishwasher in kitchen island.

There is a record player/cd/radio in the parlor. Also have a wireless/Bluetooth portable speaker in same room to use while at fire pit or down at the river! Also a Bose radio/cd player upstairs in the king bed room.

Guest access
You will be able to access the entire house as well as the outbuildings. There is an original summer kitchen as well as a child playhouse.

You and your guests are also welcome to use our two car garage while you are @ the farm as well.

Other things to note
Absolutely private setting and no worry about traffic, etc. The driveway is a private drive almost a mile long that dead ends @ the house! In season you will have your own pumpkin patch in the backyard. Feel free to pick your favorite and take it home! Also fresh mint just outside the laundry room door in season as well.

Just in case you want to make your visit even more special, we have two very cool options to explore...................

London's Bridge Photography is owned by my niece, Ashlee Tomes. She is a full-time award-winning photographer. I know she is my niece, so just take a look for yourself! She has done many sessions @ the Bland-Overall House. Take a look @ londonsbridgephotography.com

We also have a very special chef in the area! Chef Brandi was on the MasterChef show, season 7 and was the runner up. She has been featured on the MasterChef Cruise and is returning to the new edition of the FOX show, Titled "MasterChef: Back to Win" and is going to be tougher than ever as 20 former contestants are returning for another shot at winning the coveted title.

Brandi does private chef functions as well and will be glad to discuss menu, prices, etc. Just let me know. Brandi has done some things @ our house and is such a pleasure to work with. You may view her full menu and contact her @ southern-flair.com. Also can email her @ southernflairwithchefbrandi@g mail.com

Wow, where do I even start! We had an amazing time! We were in town for a baseball tourney and enjoy creating experiences for our children! The wildlife rescue was so beautiful - the work this team does is simply amazing! Even had the team over for a cookout and enjoyed a family wiffleball game in the front yard! Loved every second of our time! Thanks so much!

So wonderful to stay on this peaceful property out in the country. It feels so special to stay in a home with such rich history. The old trees and birds chirping in the morning was the best thing. One of my favorite places! Thanks so much Jeff for opening your home and this special land to us :)
