The house in located just outside Nicholasville and a short drive to Lexington. Was very central to the activities that we had planned and had a great setup for the group we had staying with us. The outdoor fire pit and hot tub was a great addition along with the TV in the main living room. If planning a quite get together or a Bourbon tour this is a great choice.

We had a great time

Our large family stayed at the home for 3 nights. There was a lot to do for the adults and kids ages 5 to 14 - nice pool with floats and volleyball, a great hot tub, corn hole, a neat tree house, a big trampoline, basketball goal and a large firepit with plenty of wood. Inside we played board games, air hockey, pool and foosball. We never were bored or felt the need to leave the property to go do something. The rooms and beds were nice. The huge kitchen table and island worked out great for a large group. We also used the nice tables on the back deck and under the pergola. We truly enjoyed our stay. Sam was very good at communicating with us. It was a memorable and fun stay!

About the host

Hosted by Sam DeLong

Host profile image
Hello I'm Sam.
I'm a retired high school and college teacher. During my more than 30 years as a Shop, Drafting and Graphic Arts teacher, I tried to make learning challenging and fun by using a hands-on approach in all subjects. After retiring I also lectured on cruise ships which allowed me to see a lot of the world.

I was born and raised in Germany, attended German schools and traveled throughout Europe. My wife Carol and I have been married for 44 years. We have two children and one (very spoiled) grandson.

Why they chose this property

The Stone & Cedar Lodge was our primary home for over 35 year. Back in 1985 I designed the home and then served as the general contractor.
The house has a nice flow with a vaulted great room and a sun loft. All of the main large bedrooms have a walk-in closet.
About 2 years ago I had the chance to build a new house in the same neighborhood, which we recently moved in.
For the past months I have painted the house and set it up as a furnished short/long term rental. It was a big job and but now the lodge is finally ready for you to make some great memories.

What makes this property unique

Our Stone & Cedar Lodge is relaxing country home in a very quiet neighborhood in Jessamine county. Each building lot is 2.5 acres so there is plenty of space between each house. Sitting on the front porch, you will see a private lake with many trees and wildlife. The neighborhood is very peaceful - My favorite time to take a stroll is early morning or at sunset.
The pool is 16' by 32' and is only 4.5' deep - Please no diving. Great for swimming laps and playing games.
I want to make sure you will have a wonderful time and, if you have any suggestion how I can improve, I would love to hear from you. If the weather cooperates, I would like to build a nice bonfire during your stay.
