Serenity in the Country

The hosts were very friendly and attentive. Their historic home in the heart of rural central Kentucky provided a step back in time, and the excellent food added to the relaxing and inspirational experience. We look forward to our next stay.

Our time at the Reed-Dossey House was absolutely wonderful. Evenings playing pinball in the game room were so much fun, and Tony and Sharon went above and beyond by making a cake and singing to my sister for her birthday. Their warm hospitality, delicious breakfasts, and attention to detail made this stay truly special. Highly recommend!

This is a beautiful, peaceful property with hosts that are amazing! Every detail is well thought-out, with so many extras. It was the perfect spot to relax after a day at the Corvette Museum and Factory Tour, and just a short (30 minute) drive to our Mammoth Cave tour the next day. Food was fabulous—be sure to have dinner! You will love staying with Tony and Sharon.

We stayed at the Reed-Dossey house for my wife’s and my second anniversary. Tony and Sharon went so far above and beyond to make the occasion special and help us feel welcomed. The property is so beautiful, and everything is immaculate. I cannot recommend the meals highly enough - get a dinner when you stay here! Tony and Sharon put so much effort into making fantastic food. Their hospitality is truly top-notch. This stay was one of the highlights of our year, and we can’t wait to be back again soon!

Sharon met us warmly at the door and opened her home like we were family. The room was beautiful and cozy! The house was amazing! The porch slowed us down and we enjoyed our time there. Tony and Sharon have hosting down to an art form. The food was amazing and fresh. They put a lot of love into what they do. Anyone should take advantage of the meals they prepare because you aren’t going to get the quality and quantity any where else. They have a personalized touch for their meals and that made it more special. We felt like family by the time we left. I wanted to cry because we had to leave.
Breakfast was so delish and we didn’t want to leave a morsel behind.
Homemade focaccia was divine!
The quality here is better than a fancy steak house. The green beans were probably home grown and cooked to perfection.
Fresh breakfast and made with love!

Such a unique and wonderful experience - Tony and Sharon welcomed us into their beautiful home as if we were visiting family. My mother and I were so fortunate to share their company and drink wine into the evenings, learning of their lives and adventures together. The house is lovely and historic, featuring 12-foot ceilings, a massive wrap-around porch, and a scenic view of the town and nearby hills.Don’t bother finding places to eat - given Tony and Sharon’s skills for cooking, culinary preservation and creativity (jams, jellies, sauces, hors d'oeuvres), you’ll regret making any other plans! They go above and beyond to cater to our preferences, serving delicious dinners and delightful breakfasts with exquisite presentation.100% would visit again and will definitely recommend to any and all friends and family planning a visit to the Mammoth Cave region.
