Rural beauty
Thank you John and Deb for your gracious patience with our various requests (ie receiving many packages, including a saddle!), your sense of humor, and taking time out of busy horse farm life to chat! We enjoyed the beautiful setting, watching the yearlings and foals, the comfy house, and the copious hot water. Note for future Guests: there is no wifi. We had a hilarious time looking for the non-existent router. After my daughter adjusted to the unexpected vacation from work, I enjoyed being offline! The house was the perfect base for supporting our USPC Championships girl and coming home to at the end of a long day. Worked well for early morning breakfasts and a couple of home-cooked dinners. Worked well for 4 of us. One daughter/granddaughter shared the master, I had the other queen bed, and other daughter had the twin bedroom (FYI this room has louvered doors, no closet). We look forward to seeing you next Championships!

This home fit our family of 6 perfectly. We came to town for a music festival and loved the quiet, secluded yet convenient location. I enjoyed the older feel of the homes decor! It has been well cared for. The horses were a huge hit too!

Our ladies group of "horsey" friends traveling for an event at the Kentucky Horse were very pleased with our stay. Having beautiful yearling thoroughbreds in the backyard was a special treat. John and Deb were great hosts and were quick to answer any questions we had. We will definitely be back for another visit.

Beautiful Stay among the Bluegrass and Horses
From the moment of arrival you will enjoy the peace and quiet of the beautiful Kentucky countryside. A gated entry adds to a feeling of being safe. Wifi is not needed when you can spend time on the front or back porch to watch the sunrise, sunset, and horses munching on grass. The house is spacious, well equipped, and clean. It is a little older property, but that only adds to the charm. About a 2 minute drive to the Horse Park and only 11 miles to Keeneland. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and will definitely come again! Thank you to the owners for allowing us to enjoy this property.

The property is beautiful including sunrises and sunsets. We spent 6 days visiting family and taking in local attractions including distillery, Creation Museum, Ark, Natural Bridge and Peddlers Mall! Our only complaint was the beds (no place like home). We would definitely stay here again.

Slightly Disappointed...
I have to agree with Sharon P. that stayed in May 2022. Not only did the king bed make noise at every little move you made, so did the others. There were a lot of cob webs and dead bugs in between the inside/outside windows, as well as bees nests in between the storm and inside windows. The bathrooms do not have electrical outlets. The lawn was not mowed, and the hedges on the sidewalk going to the house were overgrown to the point you only had half the sidewalk to walk on. There were tall weeds everywhere. I am not opposed to old properties as long as it's well maintained, but this needed some work. The horses were a definite plus, but walking to see them was rough through the tall grass and weeds. Not saying I would never stay again, but the landscaping needs some serious work if you want to have decent curb appeal for renters. The outside should look as nice as the inside.

Great location!
This comfortable 3-bedroom ranch-style house was perfect for our family. It is located on a working horse farm in the gorgeous countryside around Lexington but easily accessible to the city. The grandkids - and the kids of all ages - loved seeing the beautiful thoroughbred horses running in their pastures surrounding the house - or often just standing at the fence waiting to be petted! It is a wonderful, peaceful sanctuary.

Not what we expected
We were very disappointed with this property. We were booked for 2 nights, but only stayed 1 night. Things seemed tidy and clean at first but there were many things that needed attention we noticed with time. As soon as we entered the house, there was a definite odor...an old person odor and a strong cleaning odor. The sheets had the same strong cleaning odor, so I don't know if too much detergent was used or just an overpowering scent. The king bed made noise at every little move you made. On many of the windows, there were sheer curtains blocking the view, but if you wanted to open them, you had to then look at cob webs and dead bugs in between the inside/outside window. There was an old lumpy couch cover on the family room couch. The bathrooms do not have electrical outlets, and there are no coverings on the florescent light fixtures. The toilet in the guest bath would not flush without opening the tank to fix it. The lawn was mowed nice, but the hedges on the sidewalk going to the house were overgrown to the point you only had half the sidewalk to walk on. There were tall weeds around the base of the beautiful big tree in the front yard. I am not opposed to old properties as long as it's well maintained and smells nice. We felt like we were in a box the short time we were there. Totally disappointed.
