Get ready for an unforgettable escape to Kentucky bourbon country!
Picture this: You’re tucked away at Cat Ridge Resort, a modern and private retreat set among the quiet hills of Waddy. Your group has the entire property to yourselves — a luxurious, contemporary haven designed for celebrating, reconnecting, and unwinding in total comfort.
At the resort, the fun begins the moment you arrive. Sip cocktails in your own speakeasy bar, relax in the hot tub and sauna, or enjoy friendly competition at the poker table, or pool table. Settle in for a movie-night marathon in the theater room, rejuvenate in the wellness space, gather around the firepit under starry Kentucky skies, or practice your swing on the chipping green. Every corner is crafted for memories.
And just beyond your doorstep, bourbon country awaits!
Minutes away are some of the world’s most iconic distilleries — perfect for tours, tastings, and behind-the-barrel experiences. Spend the afternoon exploring charming small towns, local eateries, and scenic backroads framed by horse farms and rolling countryside.
Want variety? You’re a short drive from Lexington’s equestrian culture and vibrant dining scene, Frankfort’s historic riverside charm, and the boutiques and bourbon stops of Lawrenceburg and Versailles. Whether your crew loves history, horses, tasting rooms, or laid-back Southern culture, it’s all within easy reach.
Outdoor lovers will find plenty to explore too: gentle hiking trails, pastoral landscapes, fishing spots, and peaceful drives through classic Bluegrass scenery.
Cat Ridge Resort is your gateway to the very best of Kentucky — bourbon, beauty, and unforgettable moments together. Your next great group adventure starts here.

*Be a Good Neighbor*
While the setting is private, Cat Ridge is part of a rural community. Sound travels surprisingly far across the open countryside, so please keep outdoor gatherings at a respectful volume at all times.

Cat Ridge is a smoke-free property. Smoking or vaping is not permitted anywhere on the property, indoors or outdoors.

*Is Cat Ridge Right for Your Group?*
Cat Ridge is designed for groups to gather, celebrate, relax, and enjoy time together. Our outdoor spaces are perfect for the firepit, hot tub, golf, lawn games, conversation, and taking in the beauty of the Kentucky countryside.
While the setting feels wonderfully private, Cat Ridge is part of a peaceful rural community, and sound travels surprisingly far across the open countryside. We ask that outdoor gatherings remain at a respectful volume and that social gatherings move indoors after 10:00 PM.
Cat Ridge is not an event venue or a destination for loud or disruptive parties. If your plans include DJ-style music, sustained elevated outdoor noise, or other activities likely to disturb the surrounding community, this is likely not the right property for your group.
We warmly welcome groups who want to have a great time, enjoy everything Cat Ridge has to offer, and be considerate of the community around us. If you have any questions about whether Cat Ridge is a good fit for your group, please reach out before booking—we're always happy to help.
