Front Steps Lead to Beautiful Entrance
VRBO Bear stayed here - 10/27/2008 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.

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!

This home and the setting were ideal for our visit. We all felt instantly comfortable when we entered your lovely house. There was room for everyone and alway something to do. From playing guitar hero to playing pool, to beautiful walks and spelunking... Everyone had fun! A spontaneous family reunion came together easily and was a blessing to all involved. We are very thankful for this peaceful and beautiful home and property. The O'bryan's

Many, many thanks for opening your home to us. When my husband made our reservations-you told him we wouldn't want to go home-YOU WERE VERY CORRECT! As soon as we got off of I-75 onto Iron Works Pike, we thought we had died and gone to Heaven. The history, beauty and serenity of this place is awe inspiring. Waking up early in the morning and enjoying a cup of coffee on the front porch with the horses snickering at you was great! A truly magnificent sight with the early morning dew and mist clearing and the horses grazing all about. Our trip was jammed packed- too much, too little time! Seeing Churchill Downs and the museum was a walk back in history. All the years I spent watching all the Derby on TV and wondering what it was like to be there. Finally, I was sipping a Mint Julep at Churchill (and I might add "sip" is the keyword. Touring Clairborne Farm with Hap was my favorite part. A place steeped in history. For the student of thoroughbred breeding and racing history-this is the place. Even the road leading to Claiborne-renamed Secretariat way- was appropriate Finally, we toured the Horse Park. A beautiful place. all dedicated to horses. I wish we had more time to finish the Bluegrass Driving tour, unfortunately I ran out of cameras-8 to be exact. Next time we come we will have to complete it. Once again we would like to thank you for opening your home to us. Our time here was so relaxing. Bless you both.

Yours is a perfect place for a group such as ours to stay and enjoy the surrounding areas around Lexington. We had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. We left every morning about 8:30 and didnt't return until around 4:00 pm each day so we didn't really get to enjoy all the amenities much until the last 2 days when we took part of the days to just relax and enjoy the surroundings. Thank you for opening your house to us and we hope to be able to come again. PS we really enjoyed the bird watching and watching the horses. What a beatiful spot.

It is hard to imagine a Lexington home that would be better suited for a family to stay during a UK graduation than this. Our family assembled here from California, Nashville, Boston and Alabama. The horse country beauty was certainly spectacular and the sounds and the entertainment provided by the horses on your property and adjacent properties kept us entertained. The attention you have provide to make your home comfortable, warm and "special" in many ways were much appreciated by all. You were a pleasure to deal with and you personally helped us to honor our son.

Thank you for allowing us to rent your wonderful home. My family and I had a really great time, more so because of your home than anything we did sightseeing! We can not say enough about how well provisioned your home was and how welcomed you made us feel. We have told several of our friends about your website already!
