There are no words to describe how wonderful this property is. From the staff we met to the animals, you can tell when everyone is well treated and thus treats everyone else the same. Best trip to Lexington, and we've been coming for over 33 years!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It was spacious and clean. And the property was beautiful. Sheri was very responsive prior to and during our stay. And most of all the horses were amazing. We traveled with our two children who adored the foals. Being able to feed the horses peppermints and carrots and pet all of the beautiful horses was such fun for them (and us). Lexington is a beautiful place to visit and this is a great home base to stay while exploring the area!

This property was a REAL treat! The setting is beautiful!!! Everything you need is on site. Very clean, bed super comfortable, and plenty of amenities. The shower is to die for, with multiple jets, a steam, and plenty of hot water. The real treat was the 3 babies foaled during our visit. Thank you McPeaks for a great stay.

We loved everything about our stay on the farm. It started off with great communication and instructions from owner. We loved walking around the farm and interacting with the horses. The “Breeding Shed” was perfect for our stay and was very clean. The workers on the farm were very friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely return.

Wow! What an incredible experience! You are staying in a beautifully remodeled breeding shed right in the middle of a working throughbred farm! Sheri, the owner, was so welcoming and accommodating. We did not feel like strangers, more like family. The farm is bustling with excitement, numerous opportunities to ask the staff questions and have photo ops with champion horses! Simply incredible! We will be back soon!

We will be returning as soon as we can. We have two small girls and they loved having all the horses around and the loft inside was a perfect get away for them. We hope next stay is longer.

Property was excellent! Great experience to be at a Kentucky horse farm. Hosts were great in their communication and the property was very neat and clean. Having an opportunity to walk the grounds and feed the horses carrots was an opportunity to not pass up. The horses were friendly and loved carrots and peppermints. Add to the experience to see Sonny the yellow Labrador Retriever wander the grounds and approach you for attention if you called him. That made my wife's trip away from our Labrador more tolerable. The place was comfortable and decorated nicely. As others have mentioned the steam shower and jetted tub were what was needed after a long day on the bourbon trail.

This is an experience you shouldn't pass up if you're in Lexington! The 'Breeder Shed' is one single room, but it doesn't feel that way at all! They've managed a king bed, an L shaped couch, pull kitchen and bath, and even a loft area for extra 'small' guests. We had free reign of the entire farm and they even allowed us to take a cart and explore. We found the full sized race track and watched one of the workers take an owner's horse out for a run. Gorgeous place, nice staff and great restaurants in town. Note: There are two single steps down--one to the kitchen and one to the bathroom. Carpet ends and hardwood begins before the step down, which allows you to get your muscle-memory flexed so you don't take a tumble. Otherwise the place has everything you need. Shower is tricky but it rocks.We will DEFINATELY be back.

Spacious, super clean house in quiet setting on beautiful farm. Really great kitchen and I would come back just for the shower alone. Easy to get to and close to everything in Lexington.

Cannot image a better place to stay in the heart of horse country. Thoroughbreds almost right outside the door! Feeding them carrots and peppermints every night was probably a bigger thrill for us than the horses!

We traveled to Kentucky for my daughter’s horse show and wanted a nice place to come home to after the long show day. This was perfect!! Bed was comfy, shower was awesome and the farm is soquiet and relaxing. My kids enjoyed visiting the horses each evening and spent down time on the tree swing. We will be back!

This property is one of the coolest we have stayed at in our many travels. The grounds and the horses are lovely! Our kids loved visiting with the horses and feeding them carrots. Sweet yellow lab on site was a very friendly dog. The studio was super cute with a large comfy bed and a giant couch. For a studio it felt very roomy as it is a pretty good size! Very clean and well stocked with amenities. The owner/manager was very quick to respond to any questions and very accommodating. Nice little bar inside and patio on the outside overlooking the pastures and all the gorgeous horses. Lots of little foals this time of year too! We hope to visit again next year on our way down to SC. Thanks for having us!

We had a great stay! So fun to be so close to the horses. Everything was clean and ready for us when we got there. We had a great weekend. Thanks!!

Loved the place and the open access to the horses! The lights and TV required a learning curve and we couldn't get the whirlpool jets to work but I can honestly say that I would stay there again in a hearbeat!

The owners were so flexible with us when we arrived late and their night manager even gave us a tour of the whole property, he was incredibly knowledgeable about not only the horses on their property but also surrounding farms/tracks. The house itself was gorgeous and looked right out into a field. Watching the horses run in the early morning was a plus. We hope to be back!

An unbelievable experience for every horse and thoroughbred racing fan. The entire staff made you feel welcomed. Waking up to horses in your backyard with unbelievable views of the Kentucky hills. Watching yearlings workout on a European turf course. Magdalena farms is rich in history and will be an experience you will never forget. 10 stars.
