We loved our stay at Ellen’s Historic Guest House. The location in Midway was perfect for walking to dinner and window shopping. The beds were comfortable and the mini fridge and coffee station were perfect for our needs.

This is one of our favorite places to stay! The home is so sweet, just perfect for us. The location cannot be beat, walking distance to wonderful restaurants and bars and quick drive to even more. Also, very convenient to Keeneland! This is our 3rd stay. We’ll be back!

This property was exactly what we needed. While visiting the area for a wedding, we also desired some quiet down time. The property offered just that. No television, no distractions. It is as advertised; a historic home that is wonderfully decorated. The host was so kind and approachable. We had a wonderful stay.

Fun area and responsive host. Property pretty much as described. Very eclectic, kinda felt like some of the English properties I’ve visited. I really appreciated having coffee. The first night I heard some trains but must have filtered it out thereafter.

I loved being in this cozy, historic home. So refreshing being somewhere with history and personality. Ellen is an absolute joy, and being surrounded with her artwork made me smile every day. The beds are comfy, the little coffee nook and mini fridge is such a nice, hospitable touch. The location is perfectly centered between Keeneland and The Horse Park. Also, easy to get to Buffalo Trace for those bourbon lovers. Downtown Midway had a surprising number of resteaunts to choose from in walking distance. And do NOT miss going to your host's charming art gallery before dinner. Absolute gem.

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.
