About this property

Renovated train station on thoroughbred horse farm.

Welcome to Hutchison Station, our renovated 1890’s train depot. Explore the horse farms, Bourbon trail and central KY while staying on our working thoroughbred horse farm right in the heart of the bluegrass.
Hutchison Station was part of the L&N railroad system between 1890 and 1950 with passenger and freight service between Lexington and Paris. It was the center of the local community and included a post office, 2 blacksmith shops, general store and cattle pens.
Hutchison station is divided into two ground floor apartments. The “Limerick” (named for Lisa’s event horse) has hardwood flooring throughout, 12’ ceilings and is furnished with local handcrafted and antique furniture. The Limerick has two en-suite bedrooms each with a king size bed. The living area includes counter seating for four plus table seating for four.
Hutchison station is approx half way between Lexington and Paris-
• 10 minutes to downtown Paris.
• 15 minutes to the Kentucky Horse Park
• 20 minute to downtown Lexington.
John-George and Sadie our miniature donkeys happily accept treats.

A truly special property

If you are looking for a peaceful and gorgeous place to stay surrounded by nature, horses, and donkeys, this is it! I have been coming here for many years now and it never gets old. Great, communicative hosts, and the property is always immaculate.

We loved it!

The house was very clean and plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 kids. Fresh flowers and cookies were there when we arrived. The area is beautiful and we loved walking around the property and seeing all the horses. They were very friendly and walked right up to you.

One of the best VRBO's we have stayed in.

Great place to stay in a country setting. The apartment was very clean and comfortable and spacious. There were mares and foals in the pasture across the driveway. Some of the mares and foals would come up to the fence so you could pet them. You could walk up the driveway to the barn to see other horses. Adirondack chairs were provided which was great to sit and relax in the afternoon while enjoying the view. Definitely a 5 star experience.

Perfect Setting

The train station surpassed our expectations. Everything about it was nice and polished. The floors, lighting and many of the details were similar to what would have originally existed in a train station. The bed was very comfortable which is a bit unusual when it is not your own bed. We enjoyed walking the property and vsiting the horses and donkeys. Not sure if we will even have another opportunity to be in Paris, but we would definitely stay again if we did.

Horse Lovers paradise

Let me just start by saying. We very rarely ever stay in the same place twice because we like to try new places and experience new things but this is one i loved returning back to. The Parkes family are outstanding hosts and make you feel very welcome. I loved speaking with them about the area, restaurants and especially the horses which are the highlight of the stay for me. You have the freedom to get up and close with the horses and the donkeys, dont want to forget about those two. Its like you get to go and hang out at your very own horse farm. The accommodations are very well kept and have all the things you need. Two large bedrooms with comfortable beds. Large windows throughout to be able to watch the horses from the comfort of the living room if your not out with them. I cannot wait until I can go back again. Its just so relaxing for me.

First visit to Lexington and could not have picked better place to stay. The renovation of this building is very beautiful and the view out the windows of the horses! Bed very comfortable--shower good--all very comfortable. Yes, refrigerator is down the hall but not big deal. The donkeysloved the carrots we brought and short drives to ClaiborneFarms, Old Friends Farm, and Horse Park. Note: building is right on the road. All in all, great stay.

Our family of 4 really enjoyed our stay at Hutchinson Train Station! The views were beautiful and the place was so spacious and clean. When we arrived there were fresh flowers placed throughout house and homemade cookies on the counter (our kids loved these)!! The horses and donkeys were so much fun to watch! We will definitely be back!!!

Absolutely beautiful!

This property is absolutely beautiful. Clean, comfy beds, beautifully decorated and well furnished. Gorgeous setting! Only drawback was the kitchen only has an undercounter refrigerator without a freezer. That means a LONG trek back to the refr/freezer in the laundry room - probably not a big deal for most people without a "walking problem". Such a gorgeous, well kept property! Easy trip to super walmart and Paris.

Donkeys & more!

What a great property! It was bigger than anticipated with large, spacious bedrooms. The property is very clean with beautiful wood floors. It is located right in the middle of horse country and an easy (and beautiful) drive into downtown Lexington (about 20 minutes). The donkeys were a hit with all and enjoyed the apples and carrots. Communication with the owners was very easy. You will potentially meet the owners and others working the property. All were very pleasant, happy to help & answer any questions. I highly recommend this rental! It is one floor with parking on a well maintained gravel driveway.

Spacious elegant stay in horse country

The property was immaculate and well designed. The view of the horse pastures was wonderful as were the mares and foals. Wonderful high ceilings and a light filled great room. My only critique is that there is no house number so it took a couple minutes to find.
