GLENCAIRN KNOLL ESTATE: KENTUCKY'S MULTIGENERATIONAL GROUP GETAWAY
5,500 sq ft on 3.75 private acres. Five king beds. Heated 38-foot saltwater pool with auto cover. Covered hot tub. Two private upstairs wings. Sleeps 12. Pet-friendly. 25 minutes to downtown Louisville and the Bourbon Trail.
If you're the one choosing the house, this is the place everyone thanks you for later.
The best family vacations have a hero. It's usually the one who found the house.
"Comfortable luxury." — Jean, Kentucky
🏡 BUILT FOR MULTIGENERATIONAL GROUPS
This is a private estate designed for groups that need to spread out and come together. Two distinct upstairs wings mean grandparents, parents, and kids each have their own private corner of the house. The main-level master suite means no stairs for elders. The 5,500 sq ft footprint means no one ever feels crowded.
From ages 5 to 85, every guest finds their thing here.
"Three families, each had their own 'wing.'" — Monte
"The rooms are spacious. The house is quiet. Each family had their own section." — Jennifer, Colorado
"Something there for all of us, from age 5 to 67."— Andrew, Ohio

🌅 A DAY AT GLENCAIRN KNOLL
Morning — Coffee on the front porch. Sunrise over rolling Kentucky hills. Grandparents at the kitchen island. Teens at the coffee bar. Little ones already planning pool time.
Afternoon — One push of a button and the automatic cover retracts to reveal the sparkling 38-foot saltwater pool. Cannonballs in the 8' deep end. Cornhole on the lawn. A wander out to the quiet 1800s cemetery tucked in the trees.
Evening — Grilling for the gang on the 38" 4-burner Blackstone. Outdoor dining for 12. One shared meal that lingers.
After Dinner—Karaoke echoes from the basement. Bourbon poured in the Speakeasy. Marshmallows roast at the firepit.
Night—pool lights glowing. Night swimming becomes the highlight nobody planned for. Flashlight tag across 3.75 acres.
Bedtime — Everyone retreats to their own spacious room and king bed. The main-level master features a deep soaking tub and walk-in rain shower guests describe as "like a spa."
Most groups plan to explore Kentucky. Most end up staying right here.
✨ WHAT MAKES GLENCAIRN KNOLL DIFFERENT
🔥Heated Saltwater Pool
Picture this...
A crisp Kentucky evening.
Steam rising gently from the water.
Your family laughing in the pool long after sunset.
Our 38-foot heated with 8' deepend saltwater pool turns an ordinary vacation into one of the moments everyone remembers.
"The pool was heated. We enjoyed it even with outside temps in the low 60's."— Tabitha, March 2026
🌸 April–October
Our Heated Pool Experience is available year-round by advance request, with seasonal temperature settings designed for the best swimming experience.
Guests may request their preferred water temperature, up to 90°F, before arrival, creating a true resort-style swimming experience.
Without pool heat, spring and fall water temperatures are generally too cool for comfortable swimming.
❄️ November–March
Yes...you can even enjoy the pool during a Kentucky winter.
Winter pool heating must be requested before arrival. During the winter months, we target a water temperature of approximately 84–85°F, although actual water temperature may vary with outdoor weather conditions.
Because heating a pool of this size requires advance planning, requests should be made as early as possible after booking.
