About this house rental

Coronovirus Update: We always pride ourselves on a sparkling clean and sanitized house for our guests. We use commercial grade cleaning products on surfaces, doorknobs, shower/sink/toilet handles and more. We have enhanced our cleaning regiman in light of the coronovirus situation.

The Cottage is an old family farm house that's been totally renovated and offers all new amenities. You also have the perfect front porch view of picturesque Equus Run Vineyards, located just across the road, and access to South Elkhorn Creek. Have a cup of coffee on the front porch and enjoy the sunrise over the vineyard.

It's in heart of horse country, but close to:
Kentucky Bourbon Trail
Kentucky Horse Park
Keeneland Race Track
Equus Run Vineyard & Winery
Old Friends Thoroughbred Retirement Farm
Historic Midway
Lexington, Georgetown, Frankfort and Louisville.

Excellent dining choices are close by in Midway, Lexington, Georgetown and Frankfort.

The cottage is easily accessible from I-64 via two exits and sits on 15 acres on a beautiful country road nestled in the midst of thoroughbred horse farms. Guests have access to the entire house. Feel free to walk throughout the 15 acres, read a book on the front porch, fish down at the South Elkhorn Creek, put your kayak in the creek, or relax on the back covered patio.

Each of the three bedrooms has a new queen bed and private full bath. Bed linens, towels, basic toiletries and hair dryers are provided. The kitchen is fully functional so you can enjoy cooking tasty creations or just opting for a cup of coffee in the morning. A full laundry room is off the kitchen area. The living and dining area is a wonderful co-mingled space with views out to the vineyard. The house is comfortable, cozy, and updated.

For Kentucky Bourbon Trail Explorers--
This is the perfect spot to stay if you're working your way through the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Five of the distilleries are less than 25 miles away; the furthest is 75 miles away. Several craft distilleries, breweries and wineries are also nearby. In just a few short day trips you will be able to take in the trail and hit some other spots as well!

For Horse Lovers and Racing Fans--
Saddlestone's neighbors are thoroughbred farms including Glencrest, Audubon, and Margaux farms. Zenyatta, a Breeder's Cup favorite, resides at Lane's End Farm, and triple crown winner American Pharaoh is at Coolmore's Ashford Stud--both in Versailles, which is a short 15 minute drive away. Old Friends Thoroughbred Retirement Farm is 5 minutes away and Keeneland and the Kentucky Horse Park are each about a 15 minute drive.

For Foodies and Gastronomes--
It's a definite--you will not go hungry! Lexington, Midway and Georgetown have an amazing array of non-chain, independent restaurants. There's farm-to-table, southern infused, time-honored recipes to the latest culinary trends, the restaurant scene is sure to impress.

For History Lovers--
You'll want to visit Ashland, the estate of Kentucky's greatest statesman, Henry Clay, and the Mary Todd Lincoln home. Both are located in Lexington. Dr. Thomas Hunt Morgan, the father of modern day genetics, was born in Lexington and was the first Kentuckian to win a Nobel Prize. The Hunt-Morgan House, located in beautiful, historic Gratz Park, is also open for tours. On the Frankfort side, you can visit Daniel Boone's grave in the Frankfort Cemetery or take in a tour of Rebecca Hunt Candy. Shakertown at Pleasant Hill is a wonderful place to hike, bike, and dine. Take in some amazing architecture and stay for a delicious meal at the Trustees Table.

For Civil War Buffs--
Camp Nelson was established as a supply depot and hospital during the Civil War for the U.S. Army and became a large recruitment and training center for African American soldiers (USCTs), and a refugee camp for their wives and children. Thousands of enslaved people escaped to this site with the hope of securing freedom and ultimately controlling their futures by aiding in the destruction of slavery.

Perryville Battlefield became the site of the most destructive Civil War battle in the state which left more than 7,600 killed, wounded or missing. The Perryville Battlefield park museum tells of the battle that was the South’s last serious attempt to gain possession of Kentucky.

Birthplaces of Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis. Both presidents during the Civil War were born in Kentucky. Lincoln in Hodgenville and Davis in Fairview.

So, relax and enjoy the perfect home base for touring the Bourbon Trail, visiting Keeneland, taking in historical sites or enjoying a glass of wine on the front porch swing. This is the perfect country retreat while being close to everything!

Beautiful property and charming house with 3 master suites. Convenient to the area attractions and the restaurants in historic Midway were a pleasant surprise. Owners were easy to communicate with.

Our group enjoyed this property and its quiet location. The three bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms were perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a few meals. Would definitely stay again.

My family used this as home base for a few bourbon tours and some historical Lexington sighteeeing. The home was in a great location for this and was clean, well appointed and updated nicely. You can’t beat having 3 ensuite bathrooms for three couples! And having the winery with life music across the street was a bonus! We would absolutely stay again!

Just as described, the property has everything you need. Perfect for 3 couples, we each had our own room and bathroom. We had one issue but Pamela got it sorted quickly.

What a gem this is! We had a big group heading to Versailles for a friend's wedding and I was nervous to find a spot given the limited inventory in the area. Once I found Saddlestone Cottage; however, my mood lifted and all of a sudden I'm the hero of our section of the group (3 couples) for finding such a pristine and perfect place. Not only is the setting peaceful and idyllic (situated directly across the street from a winery) the house itself is well-appointed and the fact that each bedroom has its own full bathroom is spectacular. If we ever find ourselves needing a place to stay in that part of Kentucky, you better believe we're checking Saddlestone for availability first!

The house has large bedrooms with sitting areas, plus a couple of common rooms. This gave us space to be together as well as our own spaces when we wanted it. There is a winery across the street, a nice yard and it is close to the Bourbon Trail. We will definitely stay there again if we return to the area.

It was so nice to have so much room for 3 couples traveling together for a long weekend, attending the Midway Bourbon & Blues Festival. Having 3 bedrooms with 3 insuite bathrooms was a bonus. We enjoyed the property, the gazebo, flowers & found the blueberry bush with blueberries ripening. I’ve already mentioned coming back & staying here again.

Me and two friends have stayed in this house at least four times and we keep coming back because both the house and the host (Pamela) are just wonderful! We have already booked another stay. Book with confidence!
