Unbelievably beautiful property. The cottage was cozy and comfortable. Kitty was a wonderful host going above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. Thank you!
Our group of four had a wonderful time staying at the cottage. We loved interacting with the horses on the farm and the environment was so tranquil. The cottage is comfortable, quiet and homey with room to spread out and walk. It was so nice to come home to after a day of exploring and bourbon tours. A highlight for me was watching the horses at Keeneland race track during the morning workouts. We absolutely would stay here again.
This was our second visit to Orchard Park. First time we went with family and this time with friends. So lovely and peaceful. Beautiful countryside, home, and sunsets. Absolutely love seeing the mothers and foals together. Everyone is so kind and friendly. Will definitely return for another stay.
Property was in great condition with plenty of room for our family of 6. Loved visiting the horses and cows and the peacefulness of being in the country.
If you are a horse lover who always wanted to live on a farm and look out the windows to see mares and foals, then this is the place for you! The property is beautiful and peaceful. The home is clean and the beds super comfy. The owner is incredibly responsive. And, best of all, the home is pet friendly. Not only can you see the horses, but you are allowed to pet them and walk the grounds. Our Golden Retriever loved meeting all of the animals! Simply amazing!
This was our favorite family trip yet, we will be back! The guest home and the property were beautifully peaceful. Our daughter enjoyed waking up and ending her day surrounded by horses, she made a few friends! Ryan, Kitty and Allison were all lovely and greeted us upon arrival. We enjoyed fires in the fireplace and cooking.
This is our second time to stay at Orchard Park Cottage. This property delivers in every way. It’s beautiful and secluded but so close to anything you need. This home is well appointed and very comfortable. Can’t say enough about Kitty and Alison. So welcoming, helpful, and quick to respond to messages. Also, who doesn’t love to be surrounded by horses.
Just finished our stay at the Orchard Park Cottage. It was amazing. The property was beautiful. Perfect mornings with coffee on the porch watching the horses. Family of 6 stayed comfortably. Kitchen had ample supplies. Keurig coffee maker. Refrigerator did not get super cold. Location was perfect a little drive if you are going to downtown Lexington. Scenery is worth the drive. We will definitely be back. Big thanks to Allison the farm manager so helpful.
The cottage was beautiful and surrounded by lovely pastures— it was wonderfully quiet and peaceful. The location was great. We will definitely go back again!
We had a relaxing stay with great amenities - great place for kids and teens to get outside and enjoy the animals. The cottage has appealing country style furnishings with plenty of space for a family stay.
Our family really enjoyed our stay. The house and property were wonderful. The house was a great size that accommodated some extended family that also came at the last minute. It was quiet, clean, and there was plenty to do in the area. The property owners were also very easy to work with! Would definitely stay here again!
We have so much fun staying here. Kids love it and plenty of space to run around enjoy the outdoors. Highly recommend! Fireplace is great on cool evenings.. 😎
We enjoyed the views from the decks and the home which was perfect. It certainly is a place we would like to return to on our next trip to KY. Thanks for sharing your home with us.
