Bit and Bourbon

Located in the heart of historic downtown Midway, this private, tucked away home has been fully renovated. It features two bedrooms with king sized beds, two spa-like bathrooms, a full sized kitchen, quaint dining room, and living room. There is a private deck to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine or bourbon in the evening. This home is just a walk around the corner from downtown’s shops and award winning restaurants. Within minutes from Keeneland, the Kentucky Horse Park, Versailles, Frankfort, and Lexington. This makes it ideal to tour the bourbon trail as well. An added bonus is an electric charging station in the parking lot!

There’s a reason they’re Premier Hosts. Reservation was easy and all inquiries were responded to promptly. Check in could not have been easier. The location of this townhome is perfect for enjoying Horse Country, Bourbon Distilleries and restaurants. The interior was spotless, perfectly decorated and we were greeted with local treats. For 1-2 couples this is perfect. We had the best time and plan to return. HIGHLY RECOMMEND 💕

Great Getaway!

It is clear why these are super hosts! Their thoughtfulness was apparent in every detail making for a delightful stay in a charming location. One note, some couples may want to know that both bedrooms and one full bath are upstairs while the other full bath is downstairs just off of the kitchen. It may be awkward for some. While I’m sure the stairs are to code, they may be difficult for some.

College visits

This property was just what our family needed. After an long hot stressful day of moving our child into college, we were thrilled to come to a charming, clean, and peaceful property. We’ve stayed in maybe a dozen Vrbos over the years and this property ranks at the top. It is very clean and the well maintained. It has quality appliances and furnishings. The kitchen equipment and utensils were in wonderful condition and actually matched. I’ve been to some places were I think the owners bought their pots and pans at a local garage sale and have 15 pizza cutters and no spatulas. The owners also provide little extras that stood out to me. Gift basket with local goodies, fresh eggs, cell phone chargers by the bed, fresh flowers, and even soft toilet paper! They are easily accessible and communicate well prior to the stay. While we were down we looked at college campuses for our youngest. If she decides on a college around Lexington, this property will definable our go to place to stay when visiting. I didn’t even mention Midway is a charming town with some awesome dining options. We will definitely staying here again.

Great Home Base for Bourbon Tours

We had two couples that came up from Georgia for the Kentucky Georgia game and to do some Bourbon tours. This place was the perfect location for all that we wanted to do. Midway is quaint with restaurants and shops as well. The hosts were very accomodating. Thanks for your hospitality.

Perfect stay!

This was the perfect rental for our trip. Midway was a quaint little town close enough to all the places we visited (horse farm tour, Keeneland and great restaurants). The unit was extremely clean, the bedrooms were good sized, the beds were very comfortable and Tammy has thought of everything you might need. The welcome basket with local goods was fabulous! Thank you for a great stay and we would definitely stay here again!

The best of Kentucky’s Finest in a great spot Midway

Bits & Bourbon is incredibly comfortable with touches of Kentucky! We had a trip with the advice of our hosts that included Keeneland Race Track prior to the Breeder’s Cup and to Buffalo Trace or pick up & covet our bourbon prize(s). Can’t say enough about the friendliness we were shown and the feeling of blue grass beneath our feet - thanks!!

Fantastic place to stay!

We so enjoyed our stay at Bit and Bourbon. The home was extremely comfortable and updated. Tammy thought of everything and the little extra touches like the welcome basket and staples were most appreciated. The location was great as it was a nice quiet small town, but we were walking distance to main street with over half a dozen restaurants to choose from and the distilleries, wineries and breweries were all within 30 minutes of Midway. Great stay and can't wait to come back.

Wonderful Experience

Our hosts gave personalized touches that made us feel very welcome. They were very responsive to any questions that we had about our stay and the property was exceptionally clean and as advertised. It's in a wonderful location and this allowed for multiple restaurant and shopping options. The location also provided an easy commute to several different small historic towns, downtown lexington, and the Kentucky Horse Park. I would definitely recommend this to a family and friends as a place to stay.

This is has great location for so many great things, we stayed to do part of the bourbon trail for us and another couple and this it was perfect with 2 king size beds and 2 bathrooms…the beds were comfortable, nice quality towels, fully stocked kitchen, and walking distance to some great restaurants . Every question we had for the host was answered with a very short time. We were greeted with a small basket of local products, brochures, with ideas to help fill in our agenda.
