Guest favorites, from the Derby City to the Gorge

Every home in our collection is visited in person by our Elizabethtown team — what you see in the photos is the home that greets you at check-in.

Why book direct

The Elite Retreat difference

Booking direct with a local Kentucky team means clear pricing, a real person on the phone, and homes that are cared for between every stay.

Our office sits at 430 Commerce Drive in Elizabethtown. Support is a phone call away at +1 270-648-7014 — before, during and after your trip.

Professionally Cleaned

Hotel-standard cleaning, fresh linens and a stocked starter kit of coffee, paper goods and toiletries in every home, every time.

Easy Self Check-In

Keypad entry from 4 PM, parking at the door, and a digital guidebook with our team's favorite restaurants, trails and distilleries nearby.

Honest, All-In Pricing

The rate you see is the rate you plan around — nightly price, cleaning and service are itemized before you reserve. No surprises at checkout.

Guest stories

Travelers who stayed with us

★★★★★

“Derby weekend at the Derby Rose Manor was flawless — mint julep glasses in the cabinet, beds made like a hotel, and the team answered within minutes when we needed a late checkout.”

★★★★★

“We watched the sun come up over Lake Cumberland from the deck three mornings in a row. The kitchen handled a full family breakfast without breaking a sweat.”

The Okafor FamilyStayed in Somerset · Cumberland Bay Lake House
★★★★★

“Hiked Natural Bridge in the morning, soaked in the hot tub under the trees at night. The Gorge lodge felt a world away but the guidebook made everything easy to find.”

Questions, answered

What time are check-in and check-out?

Check-in is from 4:00 PM with keypad self entry, and check-out is by 10:00 AM. Early arrival or a late departure is often possible outside peak weekends — call +1 270-648-7014 and we will do our best.

How is pricing calculated?

Your total is the nightly rate times your nights, plus a one-time cleaning fee and a 10% service fee. Each property page has a calculator so you can see the full total before you reserve — no hidden charges.

Are the homes suitable for events or large groups?

Several of our estates sleep 10–12 guests and welcome family reunions and retreat groups. Gatherings beyond the listed guest count need a quick conversation with our team first.

Do you allow pets?

Select homes are pet-friendly, noted in their amenity list. A modest pet fee applies and we ask that pets stay off the furniture — the welcome guide in each home covers the nearest parks and vets.

How do I reserve?

Choose your home, check the price with the calculator, then send a reservation request from the property page or email info@eliteretreatrentals.site. We confirm availability personally — usually within a few hours.

Kentucky Vacation Rentals & Retreat Homes

Ten hand-selected stays across the Commonwealth — city manors, horse-country estates, lake houses and gorge cabins — each with full kitchens, fast Wi-Fi and space for your whole group.

Kentucky Destinations Worth the Drive

Derby City energy, bluegrass horse farms, bourbon country, big-water lakes and sandstone gorges — our homes put you inside the Kentucky you came for.

Planning a Kentucky itinerary

Pair two bases and see more of the state: start with Derby and bourbon country in Louisville and Bardstown, roll south to Lake Cumberland for slow water days, then finish among the arches and trails of Red River Gorge near Slade. Horse fans should anchor in Lexington or Versailles during Keeneland season — our paddock-side estates book out early in April and October. Wherever you land, every Elite Retreat home includes a local guidebook written by our Elizabethtown team, so dinner reservations, trailheads and distillery tours are never a guess.

About Elite Retreat Rentals

A Kentucky-born hosting team helping travelers stay in homes we would proudly lend to our own families.

Our story

Rooted in Elizabethtown, hosting across Kentucky

Elite Retreat Rentals began with a single family home near Elizabethtown and a simple standard: a rental should feel cared for. Today our collection spans ten homes in ten Kentucky communities — from a Victorian near the Ohio River in Covington to a timber lodge tucked into Red River Gorge — and that standard has never changed. Each property is walked, photographed and stocked by our own team before it joins the collection.

We are headquartered at 430 Commerce Drive, Elizabethtown, KY 42701, close enough to reach any of our homes the same day a guest needs us. When you book direct, you are talking to the people who hold the keys — not a call center. Reach us any time at +1 270-648-7014 or info@eliteretreatrentals.site.

Care in Every Detail

Fresh linens, stocked kitchens, working everything — checked against a 60-point list before each arrival.

Local Knowledge

We live here. Our guidebooks point you to the farm stands, trailheads and tasting rooms we actually visit.

Straightforward Pricing

Itemized totals up front — nightly rate, cleaning and service shown before you ever reserve.

Care for Homeowners

Owners trust us with their homes because we protect them like our own — vetted guests and attentive care.
