About this property

Lake Livin' & Bourbon Sippin' - Taylorsville Lake

Edgewater Resort, 20 minutes from Louisville, is Taylorsville Lake's premier vacation spot, tucked away in a gated community with over 163 acres that overlooks the marina. Within walking distance you'll find a community pool (seasonal) with a sand volleyball court and a fire pit. This two-story cottage sleeps up to 10 guests and showcases two private balconies in the master suite with a jetted soaking tub. You can also hang out on the private deck out back with a four-person hot tub perfect for star-gazing at night.

This cottage is under new ownership and has had recent updates in May 2020 featuring granite countertops and a beautiful tiled backsplash in the kitchen. All flooring in the bedrooms have been updated from carpet to luxury vinyl plank. Entire cottage has been freshly painted. The hot tub outside has a brand new cover as well as the new sofa bed in the living room.

The fireplace is for looks and is not operable. We do not list this as an amenity due to this.

Please note: This resort is NOT a party-town atmosphere. Quiet hours are from 10pm until 8am. We ask that guests respect this rule and also the other guests staying in the cottages around ours.

We welcome well-behaved children.

**We welcome our furry friends but do require an additional $100 pet fee. Even if your precious pet won't make any mess, this fee goes towards a fund to pay for the wear and tear caused by pets that we wouldn't accrue if we didn't allow pets. **

Please follow the hot tub rules posted outside on the fence. This will help ensure that all guests have a nice hot tub to use without any unexpected incidents.

There's a twin bed and a trundle bed located in the bedroom to the right as well as a twin air mattress. A Pack 'N Play with a freshly washed sheet can be found in the kids' bedroom closet as well as a twin air mattress. Two twin roll-a-way beds are stored in the closet upstairs to be used anywhere you wish. An assortment of board games are available for your non-screen entertainment and located in the kids' bedroom closet. There's a nice grilling area located off the back deck and a park like setting where you can take your chairs and hang out. We just ask you to return the chairs to the deck when finished.

NO BOATS/TRAILERS PAST FRONT GATE – Boat parking is located at the front, before you enter the gated portion of the community. Boats are not permitted inside the community and parking the boats/trailers are not allowed at individual cottages.

NO VEHICLES PARKED ON STREET OR GRASS – If vehicles do not fit in driveway, please park in one of the two lots, located in the front and back of the community. Parking is not permitted in yards, on the street or in common areas.

GARBAGE IN DUMPSTER ONLY – Self-explanatory, but please make sure trash fits inside the dumpster located at the front of the community. Garbage left outside the dumpster is not picked up by the trash company, causing it to sit and create a mess. Also, trash is susceptible to local animals tearing it apart and creating an even greater mess. Please don’t take up room with large items or place items next to the dumpster.

On weekends or holidays, this is especially important as the community has a higher occupancy level. Any steps or help you can deliver so that our community remains clean is appreciated.

NO FIREWORKS – For safety and consideration of other guests, fireworks are prohibited inside the community. We have guests of all types, some traveling with small children and animals. For the enjoyment of all Edgewater guests, please refrain from setting off fireworks inside the community.

Quiet place to relax

Stayed for a few days and enjoyed how quiet the resort area is/was. Home was nicely furnished and stocked with things like shampoo, soap, towels, etc. Kids enjoyed having their own room, and the pool at the end of the street. Was nice to get away from all types of noise and just relax!

Beautiful Property and Community

We loved our stay at the house. Everything is as described and Josh responds promptly if a question arises. This was a great house for us. It is a little out of the way - but worked well for our stay. We couldn’t have been happy with the supplies for the kitchen and the house was squeaky clean on our arrival.

Bourbon Trail

This house served our needs very well as we explored the bourbon trail. You could have a few more cairns or cocktail glasses in the cupboards so that we could try our finds upon returning from our exploration. All in all a great house!

Family Time

The cottage was very clean. I was a little disappointed that there was no real lake view. No spots for any bank fishing either but, I understand you have no control over that. The kitchen could use a little better cookware and some coffee cups. The gate code gave us some trouble. Overall, it was a pleasant stay. Very peaceful and quiet. The kids really enjoyed the pool and we'll have some good memories to reflect upon.

Stay was relaxing

It was very nice clean and a lot of fun the only thing I would have to say it the chemicals in the pool or the ph of the pool was definitely off and not very clean and the flower bush in the front of the house attracts way to many bees. My son is highly allergic to bees so it was pretty stressful for him trying to stay away.

Wonderful home centrally located in bourbon country!

This is a wonderful home in a beautiful location! Stocked with all you will need for a peaceful get away. Centrally located in bourbon country. You can explore just about every distillery within 45 minutes to an hour. If you’re not into whiskey, spend time with friends and family on the beautiful lake. You couldn’t ask for a better get away. We’ll be back!

We just loved it. We had two cottages next to each other to accomodate 9 men for a relaxing weekend of golf and bourbon touring. The Cottages were very comfortable, clean and more spacious than I thought. I would easily request them again. Enjoy.

BOOK THIS PROPERTY!!!

We own 2 timeshares and we enjoy traveling and trade property frequently. Because of Covid our family decided to stay in KY this year so we turned to VRBO. We are so happy we found this wonderful place! Our entire family loved the spacious house layout, cleanliness, quiet streets, access to the lake, well stocked with supplies. We WILL be back...just sorry we can't trade with our RCI points or we would come back multiple times every year!! BOOK THIS PROPERTY!!!

KY Family Reunion

We rented this house and more family rented the house right next door. We had a wonderful time with our family. The showers are like pressure washers and stung our skin. Couldn’t give my young kids a shower it was so powerful. Sink in master bathroom also too powerful and sprayed out of sink unless barely turned on. Those things were not bad problems so I didn’t reach out to owner. Great house! Lake is beautiful! No beach nearby but boat rentals are great!

Beautiful area

The location or the home was in a beautiful area, and was in a perfect location for going to the different distilleries, Lexington, Bardstown, Louisville, horse ranches, etc. The lake,marina,and pool are easy to get to from the house. Unfortunately, it was cool and raining half of our days there. The house is comfortable and was clean. The kitchen was adequately stocked, but could use a few newer baking sheets. We were disappointed to find that there was no shower in the upstairs king suite, which is a very large room. We failed to see that on the listing. Another thing that would have been nice was to have some towel racks upstairs. We could only hang them over the whirl tub (which we never used, and carried our supplies downstairs to shower in our friend's shower). There were some electrical issues that a few of the outlets did not work, although they did initially. We addressed this with the manager, and he replied that they had been working on this problem. Another disappointment was that there was not one kleenex box in the house, which we addressed with him also. Josh answered our concerns or problems immediately. Overall, we had a very nice time and would consider going back to this area.

Very Comfortable Cottage Near Lake

The cottage is located in a "resort" community, which is a gated neighborhood with 50+ cottages of similar size and style. Our was #43. It was beautifully decorated in lake decor. The beds and linens were very comfortable, inluding the twin beds. They also have trundles, a foldaway bed, and an air mattress available, which would be great for kids (we were not traveling with children). The kitchen is well-stocked, and all the paper supplies you need are provided. The cottage is on a corner lot so there is a bit of privacy with a sizeable yard. The hot tub is a 4-person, and it was very clean and comfortable, and is behind a privacy fence, which is nice. We took our boat and were able to launch from the marina, which is very close (less than a mile) from the resort. We spent two days on the lake and loved it. We were there on a Monday and Tuesday and had the lake nearly to ourselves. The Sunday we arrived, we drove down to the marina to check it out, and it was completely packed, so we opted not to put our boat in. The water is very clean and we spent the majority of our time floating around. It was great! So back to the cottage. There is not a shower upstairs, but a big jet tub, which is fine for those who don't mind washing their hair in a tub. Our friends opted to use our showers downstairs. The only small negative comment I can make is that the pictures on the VRBO website showed a view of the lake that I thought was our view from the cottage, so I was a bit disappointed. If you look at the caption on that photo, it does not say it is a view from the cottage, so it was my bad in assuming it was. Overall, I highly recommend #43. We had a fabulous time in a very comfortable setting!

Why they chose this property

This cottage is owned by two families that are both friends. We live in Louisville, KY and wanted to have something close by but also out far enough to get away from the normal busyness of life. This cottage does exactly that.

Get out on the water for some fun in the sun or maybe stay at the cottage and get a much needed afternoon siesta. On a nice clear night you can have a glass of wine while sitting in the hot tub looking for your favorite star constellations!

Our hope is that we can provide a nice vacation cottage for guests to stay in while also being able to use this property for our own families every now and again.
