Overall the experience was fine, not great or good. The kitchen had random left over alcohol in the pantry, random condiments and various food in the fridge. Needs a refresh of pots and pans to cook with. There was an odd odor that we could not determine to be skunk or weed that was kept in the home. Upstairs air conditioner units did not function well. Interaction with the owner were awkward, invited himself into the home for a drink and cigar, lit a bonfire in the backyard with his grandson, after we were gone all day he came then to mow the grass when we wanted to just unwind. Overall, the place was fine but not somewhere I am returning to anytime in the future.

My brother, myself and our spouses combined bourbon and a family gathering. I looked at The Charming cottage location and the pictures plus glowing reviews. I decided right away that this was the place for us. I don’t like to brag, but I picked us a winner!
Steve is a wonderful host.

Wonderful location in the heart of bourbon and horse country. Owner was very accommodating and informed us about many activities that we may have missed including the wonderful bakery located just a few doors down from the house.

We had a group of friends meet up that live in different states. The property was convenient to activities and restaurants and also had a great outdoor space to hang out and catch up. Nice lay out. Everyone had their own bed without having to stay in separate hotel rooms. The owner was helpful and friendly.

Steve is an incredible host! This property surpassed all expectations. The house has everything and more that you would need and is perfectly located between Keeneland and Buffalo Trace. Steve is a fantastic wealth of knowledge about Midway and has great recommendations on anything needed from restaurants to places to visit. Easily the best host and house we have worked with and stayed t! Steve's communication was exceptional throughout the entire process. We cant wait to return.

Comfortable house, quiet location, beautiful country. Location is very convenient to both Lexington and Frankfort. Steve is very friendly, accommodating, helpful. We planned an extra day to explore the area and wished we had longer. We will return for a longer staywhen we get the opportunity.

Absolutely perfect little cottage in horse country. Close to Keeneland for a perfect weekend trip with the family. Beautiful porch and fire pit in the yard. Would 100% recommend. Steve was incredibly helpful with not only the home but recommendations in the area and keeneland tips.

Our family stayed here while moving our daughter in to the University of Kentucky. The location of this property is ideal for anyone visiting bourbon distilleries, horse farms, universities, or the charming town of Midway. The property has a warm homey feel (not the cold white sterile looks to many rentals lately). The owners communicates well and was very accommodating to us as we had a late arrival. He made sure we were able to find his property easily. It was clean and the kitchen seems well stocked although we didn’t prepare any meals. I would recommend this property to friends and would stay again.

Between the bourbon distilleries and the golf courses that we chose to play the location was ideal. The property was everything that we needed and Steve was great. He was there for anything if we needed it.

My friends and I spent 2 nights in this marvelous cottage. The town is quite unique with delicious places to eat, where you can sit outside, if you want to watch those passing by. We sat around the firepit in the evening-great place to sip bourbon :). Location has easy access to the many bourbon sites and tours. I highly recommend staying here, Stephen was a great host, we hope to return..

We had a men's family golf outing for a few days and several of us wanted an alternative to the hotel most were staying at.
This location was perfect as it was closer to both golf courses. We weren't at the property a ton of time but really enjoyed the evenings after golfing talking on the back porch and around the large fire pit.
Steve was attentive and a great guy. Chatted with us a bit but left us alone unless we needed something etc.
The bakery director next door was a nice place to get a breakfast sandwich and soak up the remainder of the bourbon from the previous night 😉

The listing is very charming with lots of great pictures, but the house was even more charming in person. What you can't see is that it sits in a beautiful small town with several great restaurants within walking distance. Couldn't have had a better experience!

Son's wedding in Frankfort, reception in Lexington. This was not only Midway perfect, it was ideal for family time. The cottage is warmly welcoming and very fun. The sitting areas made for GREAT family visit time. It didn't just accommodate a most important weekend (as a hotel would have), it became part of the memories: the comfortable visiting, fixing meals together, driving through Kentucky's legendary horse farms, the charming shops and restaurants of Midway. And a morning bakery within steps. Almost storybook. If I could change anything, I'd add a full size shower upstairs, but that's the nature (and charm) of an older house. And this cottage is all charm. And great memories!

This was our first time vacationing in Kentucky. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and especially the cottage. Mornings were spent eating breakfast together on the porch. The porch provided a secluded and relaxed space to be outside and to enjoy the surrounding beauty. The cottage was well-stocked, comfortable, and spacious. We felt at home and also enjoyed two dinners downtown Midway which was a pleasant short walking distance from the cottage.
Our host was very gracious and hospitable. He checked in with us several times to make sure we had everything needed.
We highly recommend this cottage and would consider returning if we should decide on Kentucky again.

We greatly enjoyed our stay in "The cottage". A quiet relaxing retreat in the beautiful town of Midway. Property provides seclusion, nature, and relaxation. Cabin had many areas to relax with our friends and unwind after a busy day on the Bourbon Trail. Convenient to all the hot spots: Louisville, Lexington, Bardstown and Frankfurt. Buffalo Trace is a short drive for the early morning allocation runs. Steve, the host is very accommodating and responsive. We had a fantastic time and will be sure to return!

Exploring Kentucky
Location was perfect for us. Visited the ark, creation museum, escape room, mall, Buffalo trace distillery, Rebecca Ruth's, bourbon boat tour, winery, zip lining, Malibu Jack's. Bonus was the cat that loved to be brushed. We utilized the kitchen for breakfast every day. Kroger was nearby. Walked to Gibsons for supper one day. Enjoyed the lightning bugs each evening while sitting on the porch

Great stay in Midway!
Very comfortable house and Steve is a great host. Our group of friends stayed here as a base camp for the Bourbon Trail. The location was perfect with near-by restaurants and central proximity to many distilleries. Beds are comfortable, shower is fantastic, and kitchen has plenty of room for meals. Living room and sitting room allow for plenty of space to spread out and relax. Back deck also adds a nice place to sit. Would absolutely stay here again.

Birthday - bourbon getaway
We stayed here for a weekend birthday/bourbon trip and I couldn’t have been happier with our choice. The house was tidy and clean and Steve was a wonderful host. It is conveniently located to a number of distilleries and the main street just a few blocks away has several restaurants to pick from.
If we could change anything it would be the upstairs shower which doesn’t accommodate a 6’3” male very well, but the downstairs shower more than made up for it.
The outdoor space was a wonderful place to relax after our busy days bourbon tasting. If you have the chance to book this place, go for it!

Perfect in every way
We really enjoyed our stay here. It had everything we could possibly need and more. He even had cold bottles of water in the fridge for us. That’s a first for our Vrbo stays.
My daughters stuffed whale had a hole in it and I even found a small sewing kit to fix it for her. She was very happy!
We plan to visit the area again and would definitely stay here again.

Charming cottage with amazing gardens
We were in Lexington at the KY Horse Park for a competition. My family came along and this was an excellent base for them. Pride of ownership in this home and the gardens around it are obvious. The landscaping and gardens around the home are impressive. Midway is a lovely town with charming shops and several good restaurants. We saw the owner daily to check in. I had cancelled a day on the front end of our trip ahead of any deadlines, but I am still waiting on the refund. I spoke to the owner a few times before our stay and went over who was coming, but this was unclear when we arrived. We did have a small dog that had back surgery (cannot walk yet) that had to come along last minute he did not know about. Understandably, he was concerned about scratches on the wood floors, but this dog cannot move well yet and he was gracious to allow her to be there to sleep at night. Overall beautiful home and idyllic town!

Super comfortable
This was the best place to stay. Clean, comfortable and relaxing. The owner has thought of everything that will make you feel at home. Drinking bourbon on the back porch was awesome. Can't wait to return.
