About this property

The Guest House of Kentucky (Entire House)

Welcome to The Guest House Inn of Kentucky Southern hospitality in the heart of central Kentucky. Just 20 minutes from major interstates — and minutes from Herrington Lake, Cedar Creek Lake, and our charming small town. Rock on the porch swing, rest easy in a cherry poster bed, and bring your small pet too — we’re happy to host (a $25 fee applies).

Pop-Up or Short Welcome Section Text Welcome to The Guest House Inn — a gracious retreat tucked in the center of central Kentucky, just outside the peaceful charm of our small town. With covered porches for swinging, spacious patios for dining, and beautifully appointed rooms full of heirloom detail, our inn blends elegance with ease.

Located just 20 minutes from major interstate connections and near Centre College, EKU, Shaker Village, Herrington Lake, and Cedar Creek Lake, we offer the perfect blend of comfort, charm, and convenience.

Stay for a night or linger a while — we’re happy to host you, and your small pet too (a $25 fee applies). Come sit a spell. There’s always room for you here.

About The Guest House Inn of Kentucky At The Guest House Inn, we believe the best stays feel a little like coming home — if home came with four-poster beds, rocking chairs on the porch, and a warm Kentucky breeze.

Built in 1924, this historic home has stood the test of time with its gleaming wood floors, gracious proportions, and old-fashioned charm. Lovingly restored and thoughtfully appointed, the inn is a reflection of central Kentucky’s rich heritage and our own passion for hospitality.

We’re tucked right in the heart of central Kentucky, in a small town full of character and friendly faces. Just minutes from Centre College, EKU, Shaker Village, Herrington Lake, and Cedar Creek Lake — and only 20 minutes from major interstates — our location is as convenient as it is peaceful.

Whether you’re passing through, visiting family, attending an event, or just seeking a quiet escape, we welcome you to stay for the night or settle in for an extended visit. Guests enjoy both private and shared bath accommodations, elegant furnishings, porches with swings, spacious patios, and little touches that make your stay special.

We even welcome well-behaved small pets — because comfort should include the whole family.

At The Guest House Inn, it’s more than a place to stay. It’s a place to slow down, take a breath, and feel like you belong.
