Dream Rental

We have stayed at a lot of VRBO's and I think this is my new favorite! Waking up to the horses and their foal's just outside our window was breathtaking. The bed was SO comfortable. Rosie was amazing to work with and even brought us homemade bread. Can't wait to go back!

Bourbon Get-Away

Six of us stayed at the Dew Drop Inn for a long weekend of distillery visits and tastings. The cottage was wonderful and we really enjoyed ourselves. We would definitely consider visiting again. The only downside was the wifi was not working very well for most of our stay. The little bit of time some of us were working and/or trying to watch something before bed was a struggle.

Fantastic!

Fantastic rental! We were visiting from Northern Virginia and the house made us feel like we were truly immersed in horse country. Our daughters loved walking to see the horses every morning and evening, and we enjoyed sitting outside in the evenings and taking in the peace and beauty of the farm. Everything was clean and tidy and well stocked. Thank you for the cookies, flowers, and breakfast items - what a treat!

Beautiful & Relaxing

This property is stunning! Horse country at its best. Long rolling hills, expansive blue sky, tree lined streets, starry nights and the sound of birds to keep you company. Absolute bliss! Close to bourbon trail and all the fun & entertainment that provides, as well. The owners go out of their way to make the house feel like a home, including fresh flowers, bread, eggs, cookies, cream and OJ! What a delightful experience! Will return and recommend!

Magical Horse Farm

This was one of our favorite rentals. It was so peaceful and private. The house itself is so lovely! When we arrived, we were all just blown away by how amazing the house and surrounding property was. We enjoyed walking the farm as a family and meeting all the horses. Most of them came to the fence to say "hello" and were very friendly. There were about a dozen mares with foals during our stay which was super cool! We will miss all our new horse friends! The sunsets and sunrises are amazing over the green hills dotted with horses all around and birds singing. We are city folk, so our boys enjoyed playing outside on the lawn. Lots of fantastic family bonding time! The farm became a destination for us, we made sure to leave time in our day to enjoy it.

Thanksgiving in Kentucky

Beautiful home and property, rich with history. Superb location. The owners go out of their way to make visitors welcome, even providing a binder that included listings for local favorite restaurants and the best ice cream in the area, not to mention bringing us freshly homemade cookies. We loved our week spent here and are already planning to return in spring or summer.
