Orchard Park cottage

4 bedroom, 2 bath cottage on a working Thoroughbred farm in beautiful Woodford County Kentucky. Enjoy watching mares and foals frolic in fields by the cottage located on a private long drive way. Close proximity to famous Keeneland racecourse, Woodford Reserve and Ashford Stud (home to recent Triple Crown winners Justify and American Pharoah). Close to the Lexington airport, 7-8 miles from downtown Lexington.

Best Kentucky Derby Trip
This farm was gorgeous, immaculately groomed and the most beautiful horses. Every mare had foals ranging from 1-4 months old and they were very friendly. Most came to the fence to be petted. It was wonderful to walk out the door or just look out the window to watch them nursing, grazing, or rolling in the grass. There was plenty of room to walk around the property for exercise and just to look around. The house was very nice and functional. We grilled on the porch and just enjoyed the scenery. The beds were comfortable and the AC worked well. We enjoyed the artwork and antiques in the house. The house had plenty of supplies, spices and condiments in the kitchen and cookware and dishes. The hosts were very nice and easy to communicate with. This was such a nice place. We would love to go back soon. Thank you, Laura and family from North Palm Beach.

Stayed for Keeneland and K3DE
This cottage gave us a wonderful rural setting on a horse farm (mares and foals nursery and boarding). We enjoyed the long gardened viaduct-style drive, manicured lawns, horses and foals everywhere, cows, a peacock, several penhens, and small whimsical sculptures. It's very quiet with lots of birdsong. The cottage itself was well outfitted - we enjoyed the interesting Kentucky artifacts (even Mrs. Butterworth) and pictures of equine winners. Our family of 4 was very comfortable in the living room and kitchen and had solid internet access for the TV and all our devices. Climate control was excellent. As noted in other reviews, the bedroom setup is somewhat unique. There is a wonderful private primary bedroom and bath with a great shower on the upper level. The other bed upstairs is in an open loft and exposed to downstairs. Bathroom access is either through the primary bedroom or down the stairs to the second bath. Downstairs there is a small private bedroom (full-size standard mattress). The third bedroom has no doors, simply curtains over the doorway. The arrangement worked for our family, but some might find it awkward. Also, all but one of the beds had a foam-top mattress that one in our group could not sleep on because of back issues - they got the small bedroom with the standard mattress. Keeneland and the Kentucky Horse Park is about 30 minutes, Midway is about 20, Wallace Station is about 15.

Lovely Spot Amidst the Bluegrass
This was a charming cottage in the middle of a working thoroughbred horse farm. We saw 15-20 gorgeous horses hanging out in various paddocks. The cottage was isolated because it was more than 100 yards down a gravel road from the main home. We never actually saw the owner Kitty, although we communicated easily with her by email or text. The farm is out in true bluegrass country, but still only 8 minutes from the nearest town, Versailles (with several restaurant options and a great Bourbon bar), and 15 minutes from Keeneland racecourse in Lexington. It is a perfect spot for visits to distilleries along the bourbon trail. We were there in February, and Kitty supplied ample wood for the fireplace. It snowed while we were there and the tree-lined drive into the farm glistened with the snow. Although the cottage has 4 beds, there are only 2 totally private bedrooms (the others are in a loft and a curtained anteroom next to the living room), but for a small group (like us) this would be perfect. Our two aussie shepherd dogs were welcome, and Kitty provided good advice about attending morning workouts at Keeneland even in the off-season. Keeneland is wide open to the public and worth the visit, including the Track Kitchen. We were concerned about wifi coverage, but needn't have been as the wifi was good and easily handled streaming in the evenings. Highly recommended by two pretty picky travelers.

Wonderful cottage on a beautiful property! The cottage is beautiful, well stocked, plenty of room for all and had an easy checkout process. The location is a convenient base to visit area distilleries and horse farms to tour. Once you’re back, it’s such a peaceful getaway- relaxing, ability to walk the property, see their animals, and just enjoy some tranquility. We hope to return soon for a longer stay!

Peaceful Retreat
We stayed here while visiting our daughter at University of Kentucky. It was a wonderful stay and we felt recharged by the peaceful beauty of this farm. The home is clean and pictures and description of the property are accurate. The owners communicated well and the check in and check out instructions were easy to follow. This was our second time staying here and we’ll be back.

Such a comfortable/cozy cottage and grounds. Takes one away from the chaos of today's world. Would recommend to my friends. The owner came by before we left and he is a very interesting man; especially given his relationship with the Keeneland Race Track and the world of thoroughbreds.

Picturesque cottage which sits amidst the rolling hills of the Orchard Park horse farm. Serene setting and the home had all of the needed amenities. We particularly enjoyed the horses right across from the home as well as all of the other animals on the property (the owner's dogs down the way, the barn cat, chickens, and peacocks). The owners were very welcoming and even invited us to pick tomatoes from their garden, which was a ways down from the cottage. The home is also conveniently located (10-20 min drive) to horse farm tours, bourbon trail distilleries, restaurants, etc. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend getaway.

Absolutely stunning!!
This place is absolutely amazing! The cottage is located on a working horse farm and it is beautiful. We stayed here for a weekend trip to a few distilleries, some golf and some disc golf. The cottage had everything that you would need and the location is beautiful. The hosts are so nice and told us to explore anywhere that we wanted to on the farm. The farm is so large, we could go for a morning run, just on the driveway as it was over 1 mile round trip. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this for your stay in and around Lexington!

Communication with the owner was easy and answered promptly. Good directions and easy check in. Everything we needed supplied in the cottage. Thanks for the fresh eggs from the chickens!
