This home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The house sits on a two-acre property. The building is located in the main house of Joseph Abell's 600-acre plantation. It includes a secret entry to the underground railroad, which is believed to be one of the last locations the slaves would be housed in before crossing the Ohio River. The Abell house is a five-bay two-story brick structure with a one-story wing extending off the east side of the main block. The layout of the house is composed of a central hall with a room off each side. All of the original woodwork remains intact. The grounds are currently filled with over 25 different varieties of flowers, and native trees and blanketed with beautiful ivy. The owner has installed a natural stone patio, a firepit & an outdoor pizza oven that can hold many gatherings. This is a furnished rental property that comes with the basic furniture a tenant will need to live in the space, like a couch, beds, a coffee table, a dining room table and chairs, basic kitchen appliances, and a washer & a dryer. The rental has two entrances (back and side of the house) for guests. There is a large parking lot for multiple cars. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Outdoor areas - Firepit - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Private kitchen](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113040000/113033000/113032917/6b84d8a3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### KY Derby Rental 3-bedroom house in superb Louisville with AC, WiFi, fitness room Louisville - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning - Gym [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-18&endDate=2026-01-19&selected=113032917&PinnedHotelID=113032917&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Private kitchen](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113160000/113158200/113158171/fcd53780.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### KY Derby Rental … Charming 3-bedroom house, sleeps 6 Louisville - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning - Gym [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-18&endDate=2026-01-19&selected=113158171&PinnedHotelID=113158171&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106270000/106262200/106262180/875eb184.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Great for Business Travelers!
