Perfect Kentucky Experience

This charming historic home is perfect for those wanting a true Kentucky farm experience. The minute you pass through the iron gates and drive up the tree-lined drive you are transported to another time where pastures filled with horses and cut crystal glasses of bourbon are commonplace. The historic home has been painstakingly, renovated and decorated so that you feel more like you are at a Four Seasons than a 19th Century farmhouse. The location of Nicholasville is also an added bonus. You get the quiet pace and scenery of a rural setting but an easy and quick drive into downtown Lexington if you want some nightlife. Keeneland is also an easy dive too, especially if you utilize the gorgeous back roads to get there which also avoids traffic. I highly recommend this place and would stay again.

Great Getaway

An awesome property that is superbly appointed to meet every need. Off the beaten path but convenient to many of Lexington’s distilleries and Keeneland. We cooked a great meal in the kitchen and found everything we needed. There is a nice table to dine outside and a fire pit to hangout. We will stay again during the fall session of Keeneland
