About this property

Renovated train station on thoroughbred horse farm.

Welcome to Hutchison Station, our renovated 1890’s train depot. Explore the horse farms, Bourbon trail and central KY while staying on our working thoroughbred horse farm right in the heart of the bluegrass.
Hutchison Station was part of the L&N railroad system between 1890 and 1950 with passenger and freight service between Lexington and Paris. It was the center of the local community and included a post office, 2 blacksmith shops, general store and cattle pens.
Hutchison station is divided into two ground floor apartments. The “Limerick” (named for Lisa’s event horse) has hardwood flooring throughout, 12’ ceilings and is furnished with local handcrafted and antique furniture. The Limerick has two en-suite bedrooms each with a king size bed. The living area includes counter seating for four plus table seating for four.
Hutchison station is approx half way between Lexington and Paris-
• 10 minutes to downtown Paris.
• 15 minutes to the Kentucky Horse Park
• 20 minute to downtown Lexington.
John-George and Sadie our miniature donkeys happily accept treats.

The photos do not do this property justice! Place was spotless! It is a beautifully renovated space. Well appointed, beds were comfortable. Plenty of blankets and fluffy towels. We appreciated the laundry. The property itself is very peaceful. Our favorite activity was feeding the very gentle donkeys. Communication was excellent and check in was a breeze. Would stay again and highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed. Location is very convenient to the Kentucky Horse Farm, Claiborne Farm and downtown Lexington.

For years, we have been coming here every April for a reason. The location, the horses and their foals out the front door, the beautiful restoration of the train station make this place a favorite to visit and enjoy.

What a wonderful place to stay!! The owners were *very* nice and quite personable and the property was clean, well stocked, and beautifully decorated. Additionally the beds and furniture were quite comfortable. We were visiting Paris to see some old friends and were able to host them for a lovely dinner (with local steaks on the grill). We also enjoyed visiting with the horses on the farm and "chatting" with the donkeys. We enjoyed the tour at Clairborne Farm as well as shopping for local antiques and artisan products in downtown Paris. Highly recommended!!

We've stayed here many times and it's always lovely. Always love walking the grounds to see the horses and the donkeys. Bring lots of treats for the donkeys - they will yell at you if you don't give them the proper attention.

We absolutely loved our stay here! Upon our arrival, we met Steve and he was very welcoming. The renovated train station is beautiful and extremely clean and the rooms are very spacious. It was enjoyable going outside to give John George and Sadie some treats. They are both so sweet! We also loved seeing the mares and their foals out in the pasture. I would pick this beautiful country setting over a busy hotel!
