About this property
The Slow Horse - 3BR Modern Townhouse Near Rupp & Downtown
Welcome to The Slow Horse—a modern 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath townhouse built for comfort, clarity, and connection. This three-level space sits just minutes from Rupp Arena, the Distillery District, Manchester Music Hall, and downtown Lexington. Whether you're here for Keeneland, a UK game, a wedding, or a quiet reset, this home is designed to let you settle in and feel at ease.
Each of the three bedrooms has its own private full bath—no sharing, no waiting. Two bedrooms feature king beds and walk-in closets, while the third has a queen bed and its own en suite. The layout makes it easy for couples, families, or groups to have both space and privacy. The open kitchen and living area on the main floor is perfect for sharing a meal, streaming a movie, or unwinding after a full day out. A half bath adds extra convenience, and the upstairs laundry is built for real stays.
Step outside to the private deck with a Weber grill and cushioned seating. Inside, you’ll find high-speed fiber internet, a Peloton bike, and curated design details throughout. Parking is private and included—no street search required.
The neighborhood is walkable, well-connected, and in one of Lexington’s fastest-growing areas. You’re close to everything—but the moment you walk through the door, you’ll feel like you’ve got space to slow down.

About the host
Hosted by Peter Gray

Always learning, always improving. I’m an athletic trainer turned entrepreneur, focused on growth in business, sports, and life. I host The Slow Horse in Lexington, KY, while my family runs Gray-Aire Farms Stay back home in Wisconsin. Whether it’s a modern city stay or a quiet farm retreat, I believe in doing things the right way. When I’m not working, I’m training, testing new recipes, or figuring out how to make things better.
Why they chose this property
We absolutely love the location. The neighborhood is growing, evolving. It’s not a quiet cul-de-sac, and that’s part of the appeal. You’re based along a main road, but you’re also right in the middle of everything we love about Lexington.
From here, it’s easy to get downtown, catch a show at Manchester Music Hall, or walk through the Distillery District. Rupp Arena’s just minutes away. Keeneland and the airport are a straight shot—close enough to skip the early wake-up. And some of our favorite coffee and food spots are right nearby. It’s the kind of area where you’ll see new businesses popping up next to local staples, and where you feel the momentum of the city without being swallowed by it.
What we like most is that it’s real. This isn’t a polished tourist zone—it’s an accessible, connected part of Lexington where you can settle in, move at your own pace, and feel a bit more like a local.

What makes this property unique
What makes The Slow Horse stand out is that it’s not trying to be trendy—it’s designed to be lived in. Most places feel thrown together to look good in photos. This one feels intentional. We put real thought into the layout, into how people move through the space, into what it feels like to wake up here, make coffee, unwind after a long day.
Every bedroom has its own full bath, which is rare. The three-level setup gives people actual privacy. And the location? It’s connected. You’re minutes from everything that matters in Lexington—downtown, Rupp, Manchester, the Distillery District, Keeneland, and the airport.
