Great little house

This is a beautiful home with many loving touches. Outside of Lexington but not too far. Wake up to horses in the field right outside of the window. I would recommend this for couples and adults. This amazing home has a lot of beautiful pieces and a stepped down room which made it a little nerve wracking with small kids. They loved it though and are asking to go back.

Hidden Gem

This place was amazing. Eddie is a wonderful host offering activities based on your preference upon arrival. The property and neighboring horse farm land is so beautiful. It was so relaxing going outside on the back porch and watching the horses graze. We also enjoyed watching the beautiful sunrises. The house has been renovated and what a transformation looking at the before pictures which can be found in the welcome book located in the house. Very clean and so much space!

House was amazing. You couldn't ask for more beautiful and peaceful scenery when setting on the back patio. I would highly recommend this house for anyone. In fact I did let one of the other parents know at the volleyball tournament we were down there for. Her family comes down there to show horses. She marked the house as a favorite so she could possibly rent it for one of their stays.

Couldn't be better

This was one of my very best short-term rental experience anywhere in the world. The house is roomy, quiet, and impeccable. It is fully-decorated and feels like a home. The closet space is ample. The kitchen and bathrooms are fully equipped with everything you will need for a comfortable stay. It does have a section of the living room which is sunken by a gentle step down. If you are traveling with toddlers or anyone who is unsteady, they provide stantions you can use to cordon off the small section of the living room. If all of you are aware and capable of the step you can leave the stantions open so they don't impede your flow. We used them and were grateful to have them. The very best thing about the house is its location which has neighbors but feels very private and "horsey." We slept incredibly well because the road and location are so quiet. Fireflies, two horses for neighbors, green lawns everywhere, hydrangeas.

Infinite Degrees of Tranquility

They say a picture is worth a thousand words but words can only convey emotion. Personal experience catalyzes those emotions. You may be able to conjure in your mind's eye Morgans running on a hillside of green while listening to others whinny in the distance, but it is only an abstraction. To be present and witness the majesty of sight and sound must be first-hand. Add to that masterfully planned, newly rehabbed accommodations (the owner thoughtfully provided photos of before in his Welcome Information Binder) fit our party of three couples perfectly. To not mention that sweet bluetooth baby grand would be a failure on our part! Eddie, our highly congenial gentleman host, let us know he was available if we needed anything at all or something was amiss. He said he lives nearby and even offered a tour of his farm. We, unfortunately, couldn't fit that visit into our planned activities, but since we plan to return, we look forward to availing ourselves of that option. We wish to thank Eddie publicly for his hospitality. Five stars.

BEST HOUSE EVER!!!

Our family of 5 LOVED every minute of our stay! Eddie was more than accommodating and quick to respond. We loved watching the horses roam. The kitchen was the most well stocked kitchen we have stayed in as far as utensils and appliances. We will be back! Don’t miss out on this amazing property in an amazing location!

About the host

Host profile image
I'm a local farm owner that likes building projects. I'm in semi- retirement from farming and insurance with no appreciation or understanding of how to handle idle time.

Why they chose this property

The property is located in one of the most desirable roads in Central Kentucky. The road is used by neighbors and locals to walk, jog and bike. You might join the Todd's Road Stumblers running every Saturday morning. The Iroquois hunt field is nearby.

The house was completed remodeled with nothing original but the brick and framing. It was planned for short term rentals with each bedroom having a full bath.
