This was our favorite family trip yet, we will be back! The guest home and the property were beautifully peaceful. Our daughter enjoyed waking up and ending her day surrounded by horses, she made a few friends! Ryan, Kitty and Allison were all lovely and greeted us upon arrival. We enjoyed fires in the fireplace and cooking.
This is our second time to stay at Orchard Park Cottage. This property delivers in every way. It’s beautiful and secluded but so close to anything you need. This home is well appointed and very comfortable. Can’t say enough about Kitty and Alison. So welcoming, helpful, and quick to respond to messages. Also, who doesn’t love to be surrounded by horses.
The cottage was beautiful and surrounded by lovely pastures— it was wonderfully quiet and peaceful. The location was great. We will definitely go back again!
Our family really enjoyed our stay. The house and property were wonderful. The house was a great size that accommodated some extended family that also came at the last minute. It was quiet, clean, and there was plenty to do in the area. The property owners were also very easy to work with! Would definitely stay here again!
We have so much fun staying here. Kids love it and plenty of space to run around enjoy the outdoors. Highly recommend! Fireplace is great on cool evenings.. 😎
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!
We loved our stay. We were grateful for the peaceful surroundings, especially given my daughter got sick. She was able to recuperate. Kitty and Ryan are amazing!
We enjoyed the views from the decks and the home which was perfect. It certainly is a place we would like to return to on our next trip to KY. Thanks for sharing your home with us.
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage and the serenity of the property. We have lots of photos of the horses, peacocks, and other animals we encountered on our walks. Locations was convenient to bourbon distilleries, Keeneland, Versailles and Lexington. Cottage was clean, well stocked and comfortable for our group. We hope to visit again!
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.
Our 5th visit was even better than the last 4! Weather was perfect. We drank our coffee on the front porch enjoying the peaceful view of rolling hills and gorgeous horse. The Sunsets are exceptional !!! It’s a wonderful place to take walks and experience all ages of horses. We especially loved the foals this trip.
We have stayed in several rental homes over the years, and this home at Orchard Park Farms is one of the best! Beautiful home and property, everything we needed for a long weekend. The owner/property manager was lovely - great communication, easy to reach if we had questions. We will 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.
