About this property
Carriage House Cottage on horse farm.
This charming cottage has been a favorite for friends and family coming in for Derby and for touring the Bourbon trail, and now the owners have opened it to guests. Nestled on 14 acres in the middle of horse farms, rolling green hills, brooks and streams, and the "Bourbon Trail" this cottage sits aside a pond with weeping willow, ducks and geese. Wake up to the sound of birds chirping, the sight of horses just outside your windows, and the smell of fresh country air. The interior of this abode is all about down-home comfort. In the kitchen, there is a bar with cushy bar stools. The living room has a new leather dual recliner, a very comfy swivel rocker and a large 55" flat screen TV, wood floors and huge windows with gorgeous green views everywhere the eye can see. An amazing night's sleep is essential so we furnished the bedroom with a brand new ULTRA Novaform king sized bed with upgraded linens and three different sets of pillows to choose from: down, down alternative hypoallergenic, and foam to suit all types of sleepers. For extra guests there is a full sized air mattress with a memory foam topper that can be set up in the bedroom or living room upon request at booking. The bathroom features shower with a tub. Enjoy coffee in the morning on the back deck overlooking the pond, ducks, horse fields and horses. The deck has a large electric awning that extends and retracts, so you can relax in the shade or in the sun easily with the press of a button. Just added is a brand new Charbroil Grill and a 3 Piece chat set with Fire Pit to sit outside and take in the beautiful scenery. Red Fern Riding Stables is just a few minutes away if you want to rent a horse and ride through the countryside like the locals. Visit the Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass, just down the road. Enjoy the Derby just 28 miles away, and live the dream of the horse life while you're in town. The owners Brian and Rebecca live next door in the main house and if they are not working or tending the horses, they can be available if you should need them, but they respect your privacy completely and encourage you to enjoy yourselves and your privacy, and all that their piece of paradise has to offer.
