The area around this place is just so nice and quiet with the sense of being in the country but close to everything you need. It was like being at my fathers old farm from years ago that just made it just so nice to be at. It was a wonderful place to stay. Highly recommend it.

The house was as advertised. Very clean and well appointed. My only complaint is the flags flying outside the home. Black lives matter, No human is illegal etc. I was offended by this and a VRBO should not be political or you will offend half your guests.

Perfect home base to explore Lexington

My daughter and I stayed at this property ehile she was competing at the horse park. It was a lovely, restful place for us to start and end our busy days. The property is impeccably maintained, the hosts are wonderful, and the location in the heart of horse country was exactly what we needed. Thank you!

Everything you need plus things you didn’t know you needed!

This is by far one of the most thoughtful, curated, charming VRBO’s we’ve visited. The space was perfect, intuitive and the grounds and view were like a Bluegrass landscape painting.

Great Cottage in a Beautiful Setting

My wife and I had a great stay at this property. It is set in a beautiful area surrounded by horse farms. The cottage itself is very comfortable and is decorated with original art. The hosts provide great hospitality with tons of fruit, snacks, and coffee waiting for us on our arrival. The champagne was a great touch for the New Years holiday.

Lovely KY Farm Cottage

The owner extended warm hospitality during my stay and was very gracious and accommodating with a scheduling issue I had. The cottage was pristinely clean, decorated beautifully and the surrounding area was peaceful. It was a true pleasure and highly recommend this for your stay. Only 20 minutes from the KY Horse Park and easy access to Lexington.

We have stayed at many places in the area, as we visit family at least once a year—this was, by far, the best place we have stayed. The host had everything set up, including water in the refrigerator, coffee for Keurig, and a basket of breakfast goodies and snacks—all ready for our arrival. The host was very friendly and easygoing, and it was an absolute pleasure to stay there! 10/10 for sure!

Little slice of heaven

My friend and I stayed here for a big event at the Kentucky Horse Park . It was about a 20-25 min drive but so worth it ! This cute cottage is tucked on a pristine farm located close to Keeneland . While it sits adjacent to the owners home you enjoy complete privacy . Jennifer was the perfect host and went above & beyond to make our stay just perfect . We would love to return !

Wonderful Getaway on the Bourbon Trail!

Jennifer and Ben's property was just beautiful and exactly as listed. We so enjoyed our stay at Soggy Bottom Cottage! The grounds were lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed our daily walks along the property. The location was perfect as we visited a few distilleries during our stay. Jennifer gave us some wonderful restaurant recommendations that were close by. Both Jennifer and Ben were so welcoming but yet completely respected our privacy. The cottage had everything we needed and we appreciated the extra touches like the basket of fruit/munchies that we grabbed for our daily excursions. We would definitely stay here again!
