Historic soul, modern ease

A Kentucky place with a story in every beam.

Plum Ridge is not a newly themed cabin. It is an authentic Kentucky home shaped by hand-hewn poplar logs dating to the 1700s, warm hardwood, locally resonant antiques, and the kind of craftsmanship that asks you to slow down and notice.

Inside, generous gathering spaces, a full kitchen, four comfortable bedrooms, gas fireplaces, air conditioning, and true fiber internet bring modern comfort to an estate rooted in history.

  • Authentic historic poplar logs
  • Wraparound outdoor living
  • Kitchen and dining for groups
  • Nature and livestock views
  • Quiet country setting
  • Easy Louisville access

Come for the cabin. Remember the quiet.
