Fantastic setting to immerse yourself in horse racing, bourbon history and tasting. The property is surrounded by Marguax Farm, so you can always see horses out in grass paddocks and the Elkhart Creek runs across the front of the property. There is a winery less than a mile down the rode, could walk there in less than 20 min. There were 8 adults and everyone had plenty of space, we were able to gather for meals, games, and watching tv. Easy access to large hot tub. The house was spotless and beautifully appointed. Chefs kitchen had everything you needed to prepare and serve meals. The 2 upstairs bedrooms had on suite bathrooms, the 2 downstairs bedrooms could share a full bath or there was another full bath on 1st floor in hallway so everyone had there own bathroom. Wonderful screened in porch which we used multiple times. We had a fire each night in the family room fireplace, there was also another large family room with TV downstairs.
The home is conveniently located - 20 min to keeneland (south), golf courses nearby, - 20 min to buffalo trace, castle and key, Woodford(west). Town branch and James Pepper distilleries are about 20 min south in Lexington. After touring distilleries in Lexington we went to dinner in town - Giuseppe's (Italian) and Merrick Inn (about 15 min farther). Ate at Heirloom in Midway (6 min away from house). Loved all our dinning choices.
Going to and from most places our guidance took us on the most beautiful back roads, lined with trees and got to see so many horse farms.
Property manager was very helpful and kept in touch throughout the stay. Asked if we needed anything before our arrival.
Truely a memorable getaway!
slight drawback for some might be the front steps and entering home you have to go up about 5 to go to first floor or same to go to basement. We did not have any trouble with suitcases or packages but you should know in case someone in your party has trouble navigating stairs.
