Razor Cave’s Manor House is the perfect spot for a large gathering of family or friends in the Bluegrass. This five bedroom spacious home is well-appointed with fine hardware and finishings. The loving craftsmanship put into the remodel of this house is apparent as you explore the home.

The main floor contains a stylish kitchen which opens to a comfortable sitting area, all with great views of the flat screen TV over the fireplace (one of many throughout the home). Across from the formal dining room is a quiet sitting room with a piano, ideal for entertaining and socializing. At the opposite end of the house is a billiards room which includes a bar, a mini fridge and a large flat screen TV mounted above.

Take a few steps down to the basement and you’ll find another large flat screen TV along with a wide selection of movies and video games to play on the PlayStation 2. You can challenge your family or friends to a game of poker at the large card table next to the fireplace. When you’re hungry for a snack, the kitchenette is steps away.

Keep going around the corner and you’ll discover another bedroom and a bathroom appointed with a beautiful claw foot tub. Don’t forget the extra twin bed tucked in the corner of the Grotto for those who can’t separate themselves from the game room fun.

Upstairs, you’ll find four bedrooms, including the master with a large walk-in closet and a bathroom. The bathroom features a sink separated from the toilet and shower room which is a time saver when getting ready! The second bathroom is shared by the other three bedrooms. One of the three bedrooms features kid-friendly bunk beds.

You may never leave the driveway considering this home has everything you need, but the surrounding activities are worth a visit. If you happen to be visiting during basketball season and are lucky enough to get tickets, take in the University of Kentucky basketball spectacle alongside the crazy fans that turn the Rupp Arena blue.

If you’re traveling during the spring or fall, don’t miss the live horse racing. You can place your bets at the Keeneland Race Track, just west of downtown Lexington. Nearer to the farm is the Kentucky Horse Park. Exploring the area by car is the best way to take in the surrounding scenic horse farms. Some farms have been sets of famous Hollywood films! The fall season offers picturesque views of the changing leaves and yearlings playing in the paddocks in the crisp morning air.

Anytime of year is a great time to visit Lexington, Kentucky. Whether you’re interested in sports or horses or beautiful scenery, the central Kentucky area offers something for everyone. I’m sure your stay will be rewarding at Razor Cave Farm.

  This is truly a Lexington, Kentucky experience. Beautiful horse farms, panoramic vistas, sunrise and sunset, stars and billowing clouds!! This place is fun for all ages and the beauty can be appreciated by all who stay. The beds are comfortable. The house has what you need in terms of being away from home. The location is excellent to explore, if you choose to leave. The owners are friendly and can help make the visit special ( ask about touring real horse farms, or the bourbon trail) We come every year and never regret it.

  Remember the movie "Big Chill" switch to a wedding and you have the perfect place? We had our extended family coming together from Illinois, Texas and California to celebrate my daughter's breathtaking wedding at Kentucky Horse Park just a few miles away and this house was perfect!!! We spent Wed. thru Sun enjoying the family atmosphere with enough bedrooms and couches for all the family that showed up to enjoy. The pool table and musical instruments were a magnet for the college kids, and the cave was fun for the grandchildren. Marguerita, sp sorry, was a wonderful hostess, and even helped to direct lost grandparents. We made many family meals in the large kitchen, made bouquets for the wedding in the large sunroom, sang Spice Girls in on the wonderful sound system, and slept comfortably in the 5 bedrooms! Thanks so much for a memorable experience! The Davis Family! 6/9/12

  We visited in February, 2012 with 3 adults and 2 children. The house was huge, and much more than we needed for our group of 5. The upstairs bedrooms were lovely. The three large screen tv's and pool table were great fun for the kids. The downstairs sun room and parlor were also quite pleasant! And the property was quite beautiful. On the negative side-- the downstairs, in particular, didn't seem to be thoroughly cleaned. The floors especially could have used a good scrubbing/shamppooing. The stairs hadn't been vacuumed, and the floor in the sun room was dirty. Most importantly, there were signs of mice in the kitchen (droppings in drawers). The internet didn't work, and I had planned to do some work from the house. The owners didn't have any idea how to fix it. One thing that would have been really helpful would have been a binder with information (nearby restaurants, directions to places like downtown)... we found a binder hidden in a kitchen drawer that had information about cleaning/departure instructions, but we wouldn't have known about it had we not searched the entire kitchen for it. In the end, I felt as though I would have preferred a cleaner, smaller place even though this house seemed to have it all...

  What a wonderful experience. My family and I had such a great time in your lovely home. So much room to spread out and relax in complete privacy. Beautiful surroundings, and for us, the proximity to the Kentucky Horse Park was a major plus. We will definitely be staying at Razor Cave the next time we visit the area.

  Simply describing our experience at this most amazing piece of Heaven when we returned didn't do it justice. Our group of Auburn Tiger Tailgaters decided that Lexington was going to be our ultimate fan road trip this season, so we booked this estate for the week and it didn't disappoint. Simply put, we were in awe from the moment we pulled up to the property. There is no scenery in the country that compares to the lush farms and beautiful horses that surround this property. It has an abundance of room and amenities and is extremely spacious. This fully furnished home has everything one could need to stay comfortable and plenty of entertainment for the adults and the kids. And, oh by the way, it was a perfect "home base of operations" to plan and initiate the best college football tailgate in Lexington. The local people in the area were the finest, most gracious folks we have experienced in our extensive travels. It has all the allure of a Saturday Evening Post. And if you want to experience true serenity, just walk out the back door to the patio, have a seat while you drink your early morning coffee and just listen to the silence complimented by the distant sounds of those beautiful horses that make Lexington and the State of Kentucky so famous. I highly recommend this property to anyone interested in spending time in the Bluegrass State. All of our family and friends that made the trip this past October are still talking about our visit to Kentucky and how the Manor House at Razor Cave Farm made it the most perfect expedition we have ever taken together. To the owner, we say THANK YOU and War Eagle!!

  We wanted to bring a week-long family reunion here to Lexington but couldn't imagine there would be a place we could house a crowd of us together. When I discovered the existence of Razor Cave Farm, with the Manor and the Farm House on the same property, and in this beautiful Lexington location, I couldn't believe our good fortune. Most of the visitors stayed at the farm, and all of us together -- four generations, including two brand new great-grandbabies -- fit easily in either house for group meals and joint evening activities. The visiting family members from multiple states loved it! The teens especially enjoyed the pool table and Guitar Hero, and the (extra bonus!) friendly horse in the paddock was happy to come over and let anyone pet his nose. The hammock at the "farm house" was a favorite with the younger children, but also with a nephew and his new baby. Some of the family biked around the nearby area; some enjoyed the Horse Park, Ashland, a Legends game, antiquing, a Toyota tour, and other area attractions (even the giant baseball bat in Lousiville). That's what was great about being able to bring the reunion here -- so many possibilities for everyone's varied interests. But all also made sure to go on an "expedition" to find the farm's cave (so cool, in both senses!) before they left. -- The surroundings are as scenic and restful as advertised -- and on top of that we had beautiful weather (which was, of course, out of the owner's hands!). The owner and his assistant were unfailingly helpful and patient when I had questions, and they also helped me by finding a short time between other renters when I could visit the property several days before the big event as we finalized plans. I was also impressed that the farm provided some supplies that in other rentals we've had to bring in ourselves. -- The end result was a memorable week for all the family and a real feeling of satisfaction for the organizers!

  I was in search of a half way point between Michigan and Tennessee, Lexington, KY was the place, The owners were so wonderful in every way. The house is truely amazing! The kitchen is stocked with those items you forgot. They have a game table, pool table, TV's in every room, lots of DVD's for everyone (even guitar hero), comfortable beds with nice linen, and even a place for "Uncle Glenn". We threw a 50th Birthday party for my sister and everyone was more than satisfied. We hope to do this every year! We even received info from the owners on the best place to order a cake, have a spa service and dine out. Thanks SKIP! I look forward to visiting your place again next year. Laurie, from TN.

  Thank you so much for a lovely time. The house made for a perfect family gathering. It means so much to have a family reunion and for all of the family to be able to stay under one roof. Because of your wonderful Kentucky farm house, our family has been afforded the opportunity to live, love and laugh together! We have reminisced fondly and created new memories that will be cherished forever. Thank you again for extending great hospitality to all of us.

  Razor Cave Farm certainly exceeded our expectations! After unpacking we rested on the front porch, enjoying the wonderful breeze and the beautiful sights all around. This was a perfect spot to start all of our car trips exploring the many offerings of this area. Everyone we encountered was very hospitable. Thank you so much for your hospitality in this beautiful home!

  We had a wonderful time. The children enjoyed the horses and when we woke up in the morning the first thing we saw through the bedroom window was HORSES! The cave was fun to explore and if yu take a flashlight you can see cave crickets on the ceiling!
