Get ready for an unforgettable escape to Kentucky bourbon country!
Picture this: You’re tucked away at Cat Ridge Resort, a modern and private retreat set among the quiet hills of Waddy. Your group has the entire property to yourselves — a luxurious, contemporary haven designed for celebrating, reconnecting, and unwinding in total comfort.
At the resort, the fun begins the moment you arrive. Sip cocktails in your own speakeasy bar, relax in the hot tub and sauna, or enjoy friendly competition at the poker table, or pool table. Settle in for a movie-night marathon in the theater room, rejuvenate in the wellness space, gather around the firepit under starry Kentucky skies, or practice your swing on the chipping green. Every corner is crafted for memories.
And just beyond your doorstep, bourbon country awaits!
Minutes away are some of the world’s most iconic distilleries — perfect for tours, tastings, and behind-the-barrel experiences. Spend the afternoon exploring charming small towns, local eateries, and scenic backroads framed by horse farms and rolling countryside.
Want variety? You’re a short drive from Lexington’s equestrian culture and vibrant dining scene, Frankfort’s historic riverside charm, and the boutiques and bourbon stops of Lawrenceburg and Versailles. Whether your crew loves history, horses, tasting rooms, or laid-back Southern culture, it’s all within easy reach.
Outdoor lovers will find plenty to explore too: gentle hiking trails, pastoral landscapes, fishing spots, and peaceful drives through classic Bluegrass scenery.
Cat Ridge Resort is your gateway to the very best of Kentucky — bourbon, beauty, and unforgettable moments together. Your next great group adventure starts here.
