For those who don’t find zen in the outdoors, Kentucky has plenty of destinations that offer fully climate-controlled relaxation options.

Whether traveling solo or with a small group, Snug Hollow Farm is perfect for a quiet getaway. Located in Irvine, an hour-and-a-half southeast of Lexington, this bed and breakfast rests on a 300-acre farm that provides guests an idyllic backdrop of forested hills, lush meadows and babbling creeks. No matter the time of year, this piece of Appalachian paradise is ideal for quiet reverie.

The L&N Bed and Breakfast in the river city of Henderson makes a great option for those needing some peace, but still wanting to keep a foot inside the grid. After a gourmet breakfast in the L&N’s charming dining room, they can take a long walk along the Ohio River, then relax with some retail therapy. Boutiques of every caliber and persuasion abound in downtown Henderson.

Almost 10 miles outside of Henderson is the Farmer and Frenchman. The restaurant is set on a picturesque farm and winery with an unmatched view of fields and vineyard. Add a first-class dinner from a seasonal menu, expertly paired with wine, and anyone who was stressed at the start of the meal will be full, happy and perhaps a little sleepy by the end.
