Julie was an amazing host! Home was clean and cozy, was stocked with essentials, there was lots of information provided for things to do in the area and the property was beautiful. Lots of history! My family enjoyed feeding the horses carrots and peppermints and watching them in the pastures while relaxing on the porch. Fresh baked cookies on the kitchen table upon arrival really made us feel at home. The restaurant on the corner had great good and was so convenient for dinners after being out and about all day. Julie made sure we had what we needed and was only a phone call away. We will be back for sure.

Julia’s house was perfect for our group of 6 in town for a bachelor party. The house is very clean and comfortable, especially the bedrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed and the fridge was even stocked with some food and drinks when we arrived. The property is large with multiple outdoor seating areas, and it was great to be able to interact with the horses! Julia was extremely welcoming and easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay at her house again if we go back to Lexington.

This was our second Christmas stay at this property. Family from Indiana and Tennessee met here. This is an old farm house on a working horse farm. Can’t get more authentic than that. It reminded me of staying at my moms or grandmothers house. It feels like home. The house was clean, well equipped, and comfortable. Julia always goes overboard in providing the small things. We cooked several large meals and if we forgot something, Julia had it in the cabinet or fridge. Wonderful small restaurant within eyesight of the house. The Colliver House was a perfect place for our family Christmas gathering.

Relaxing

The place is near the Kentucky Horse Park and Kroger is down the road. We wanted an atmosphere that felt more like home than a hotel. We were able to do things during the day and still come "home" for dinner. This location fit nicely for a weekend getaway. My daughter loved the horses too. Would stay again.

Homely feel, great location

We stayed with Julia for two weeks while we were showing at the horse park. It was a perfect place for us to stay with our client and staff. Julia was incredibly welcoming and provided everything we needed to make the stay comfortable. The location is great, close to the horse park and a direct shot into downtown.

Perfect!

We had a lovely stay on the farm with Julia. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcome. She even went out of her way to plan some horse-related adventures for us and was very patient with our questions about the world of horse racing and breeding. Bonus was meeting the foals and other horses on the property and seeing the fireflies from the porch in the evening. We could not have asked for a better stay!

Love the Horses!

Very nice old farm house on a working horse farm. A mare an it’s foal (1 week old) spent most of their day in the field next to the house and loved to visit with us when we went up to the fence. Host was wonderful and the house had all the amenities one would ever need.

About the host

Hosted by Julia Householder

Host profile image
I am the granddaughter of G.C. and Marie Colliver, this was the residence my grandparents renovated in the early 1970's into their personal home. My grandfather was multi talented, a welder, a builder and a farmer.
Passionate of Thoroughbreds he rebuilt the farm in the early 80's for my business. Boarding and raising many very successful Thoroughbreds.
Over the years we have had many guest visit the property, the decision was made to share the area and property with others.

Why they chose this property

Family owned farm just off the beaten path of major interstates and hwys.
Mere minutes from Downtown Lexington, Paris, Georgetown and Winchester.
Beautiful scenery, nestled among world famous Thoroughbred Breeding Farms.

What makes this property unique

Relaxing environment, walking on the farm and petting the horses, or enjoying one of the two porches. Views of horses from back porch with beautiful KY sunrises and sunsets.
