Description

Discover an exceptional short-term rental opportunity in the thriving Shepherdsville -Louisville corridor. This spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bath log cabin sits on a private half-acre lot and features a walk-out basement, ample guest parking, authentic rustic charm — all within 30 minutes of downtown Louisville, the Bourbon Trails, and major event drawls like the Kentucky Derby.

While the property currently needs a kitchen update/cleanout, roof repair, and cosmetic refreshes, its structure, location and size position it perfectly for conversation into high-earning STR or Multi-Family retreat material.

  • Large Capacity = Higher Nightly Rate

With sleeping spaces for 10+ guests, this cabin sits quietly and squarely in the profitable “group stay” segment. 4Br STRs in Bullitt Co. average $170-$190 ADR (AriROI, 2025), but premium rustic listings with capacity >10 achieve $200-$250 ADR with 50-60% occupancy.

  • Location Advantages

Shepherdsville offers fast interstate access, a growing tourism draw, and proximity to the Bourbon Trail, Bernheim Forrest, and Louisville Expo Center — each driving consistent visitor traffic.

Shepherdsville STR occupancy averages ~ 51% (2025) with rising ARDs due to limited cabin-style inventory.

  • Low Competition, High Appeal

Log-Cabin-Style homes in this area are rare. A tasteful renovation with modern amenities could position this as one of few premium group-stay options under 30min from Louisville or Bardstown Ky.
