Oldham County Girlfriends Getaway

There is nothing like a girlfriend getaway to relax and recharge, and Oldham is the perfect place to do it! Whether you’re a book club, a yoga group, sisters, or carpooling neighbors, you can choose from three luxurious B&B’s in the country – just 20 minutes from downtown Louisville on I-71. Bluegrass Country Estate (Exit 22), Pillow and Paddock (Exit 22), and The Inn at Spring Run Farm (Exit 14) provide the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Each has its own unique décor, and amenities that will make your time here pass too quickly!

Soak in the hot tub and pool at Bluegrass Country Estate, take a cooking class at The Inn at Spring Run Farm with Chef Jeff, the innkeeper, or dine on the wrap-around porch of Pillow and Paddock. Your stay will be memorable no matter which you choose! If you have a large group of girls or you want to cook your own meals, check out one of our vacation rental homes!

Check out our STAY page for your choice of luxury, as well as a list of hotels. All properties on our website have been visited and are permitted in Oldham County, so rest assured that your visit with us will not disappoint – what you see if what you get!

Kim’s Tidbits: Cheryl is the innkeeper at Bluegrass Country Estate bed and breakfast horse farm and lives there with her 2 dogs and 2 horses. She has an in-ground pool, a theater room, movies, popcorn machine, a pool table, a gym, a hot tub (public), and 9-acres to explore on. If you would like a place to just relax – with the idea of not having to do much else – then, BCE will provide you with enough things to do on-site. Breakfast is included and dinner can be for an additional cost. If you are traveling with your horses, your hostess can take you as her guest for a beautiful ride in the country overlooking some incredible farms. Everything you need for your Girlfriend Getaway can be found here…without ever leaving, if that’s what you need!

If you want a real Kentucky experience, you can’t beat The Inn at Spring Run Farm bed and breakfast! Surrounded by original log walls, original ash floors, and stone fireplaces, but with luxurious modern bathrooms (some shared), Jeff is the innkeeper and offers the perfect place to relax. A Chef himself, Jeff whips up a fantastic breakfast that offers you a one-of-a-kind Kentucky foodie experience. Dinner options are also available. A huge patio complete with fire pit and a working horse farm nestled in the woods, Jeff and Susan’s B&B is the epitome of Kentucky relaxation and escape! They live next door.

Pillow and Paddock bed and breakfast is casually elegant! Weather permitting, outdoor lovers can dine on the wrap-around porch or back veranda. Occasionally, breakfast can be eaten outside and shared with deer, wild turkeys or Canadian Honkers munching in the pasture.

 Afternoons and early evenings can be spent playing croquet, horseshoes or engaging in a “corn hole” tournament with Francesca and Don, the innkeepers who live on-site, or other guests. Take a cool drink to the front porch if you’d rather watch from one of the rockers.

Our Oldham KY Girlfriend Getaway is not complete without a visit to a true hidden gem – Knock on Wood in Westport. I have bought many unique gifts at Knock on Wood. The last time I was there I bought a gorgeous silk scarf and a Sweet Iced Tea scented candle…yes, a candle! Nothing like the smell of sweet tea to remind you of your trip to Kentucky! You will find more hidden gems on our SHOP page! In the summertime, you’ll enjoy Pickin’ on the Porch concerts and great food! Just check our Calendar of Events for dates!

Main Street La Grange (our Trains on Main Trip Idea) has a fabulous downtown shopping and dining district that’s very walkable! You’ll love the newest addition to the street, Simply Blessed Boutique, and  local favorites, Blooms and Mercantile on Main. Many more unique shops, including a cool local coffee shop that roasts their own beans (La Grange Coffee Roasters), puts big box stores to shame! There are many events throughout the year on Main Street so be sure to check our Calendar. Winter and Spring events include the Chocolate Crawl (February) and the Blue Hydrangea Tea (April). Summertime brings Trackside Tunes!

If you love to SHOP consignment stores, you will find one on your stop on Main Street in La Grange, Rainey Day Resale, and the Clothes Boutique in Crestwood. If you love antiques, check out our Oldham Antiques Road Trip Trip Idea – 5 shops in an 8-mile radius – and don’t miss The Cottage in Pewee Valley! Be aware that most shops are closed on Sundays and Mondays. Check out our SHOP page for all sorts of unique shopping near Louisville – found Only in Oldham, KY!

You will want to schedule a farm tour of Hermitage Farm and dinner (in advance) at Barn8 restaurant open Wed-Sunday. You can do a lot on the farm! You take a farm tour, order a boxed lunch, do a bourbon tasting, or learn to make a cocktail!

If you are looking for a little something different to blow off steam, then Openrange Sports in Crestwood (Exit 14 on I-71) is just what the doctor ordered! I took a group of women to rent and shoot machine guns – they LOVED it and still refer to it as one of their favorite girlfriend getaways! You can also pre-schedule a safety class for your group! Found ONLY in Oldham, KY!

For lunch, check out all the listings on our EAT page! Red Pepper Deli in Crestwood and La Grange has a fantastic veggie wrap with hummus and fresh diced fresh veggies (to die for!) and their loaded potato salad and homemade soups are awesome. You can’t go wrong with anything on Red Pepper’s menu! For dinner, try One Nineteen, Ernesto’s, or Main Street Bourbon & Ale House for awesome train watching spots with outdoor seating on Main Street! You can’t go wrong with anything in the La Grange Main Street District!
