Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
We booked the room 2 days prior to our stay. When we got there, they had no record of the booking. We had to have a renter that lived on the property let us in. The trash in our bathroom had not been emptied and there were feminine products in it which was disgusting. This was a bed and breakfast where breakfast was included, but no breakfast was served. The house was nice but it was chilly. Not sure that I would stay there again.

Needed a night stay in a rather rural area. Very surprised to find this beautiful B&B suggested by Expedia. We had the entire house to ourselves! Wonderful breakfast the next morning. Highly recommend.

Highly Recommend this Historic Hotel
This hotel has so much KY character - history, horses, rolling hill sunsets, local treats and local hospitality. Enjoyed our stay and will be back. The Sofa Bed bed in the Boys Room is truly a sofa bed - not comfortable if needing a good nights sleep or have any back issues - the only downside of our stay. The comfort and hospitality of the rest of the house, the historic stories and landmarks and the quiet, country location makes this a bed and breakfast a new repeat hotel.

Fun, Historic House with Hospitable Staff
Overall, wonderful experience! Cozy,homey house, warm staff, historic location, gorgeous rolling hill view - Felt like KY was embodied in this home. Only complaint was the sofa bed in the boys room - not comfortable. But room size and the rest of the home was perfect for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Was fun to explore and spread out before going to sleep. Highly recommend!
