We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Ellen is an excellent host and accommodated our every request with gladness. The atmosphere and decor of this lovely home takes one back to another time in old Midway. It’s walkable to all of the best dining and shopping in downtown Midway. The staircase does have steep stairs, and some may find the shower a little small, but neither were issues for us. The rooms were comfortable. We were provided a small fridge, single cup coffee maker and tea kettle with great tea and coffee selections. There were so many cute touches. We will be returning for sure.

Beautiful Historic Home Right in Midway
This is such a beautiful historic home. Location couldn’t have been better for our days at Keeneland since we could go in the pretty back roads and miss the huge traffic jams. At night, we booked dinner in some fabulous small restaurants in Midway, which were just a few steps away. The home was comfortable and yes, the stairs are steep, but no problem for us. Would absolutely stay here again!

In town for the Thoroughbred Makeover at the Kentucky Horse Park.
My stay couldn’t have been more perfect!
The horse park is a short drive and several excellent restaurants are within walking distance. The town of Midway and the accommodations were absolutely charming. Ellen’s beautiful artwork, fascinating life story and love of horses (as evidenced in her art) made my stay even more memorable and special.
I would definitely recommend a stay here. Ellen, thank you so much for a fabulous stay.
