About this farm stay rental

Welcome to Hutchison Station, our renovated 1890’s train depot. Explore the horse farms, Bourbon trail and central KY while staying on our working thoroughbred horse farm right in the heart of the bluegrass.
Hutchison Station was part of the L&N railroad system between 1890 and 1950 with passenger and freight service between Lexington and Paris. It was the center of the local community and included a post office, 2 blacksmith shops, general store and cattle pens.
Hutchison station is divided into two ground floor apartments. The “Limerick” (named for Lisa’s event horse) has hardwood flooring throughout, 12’ ceilings and is furnished with local handcrafted and antique furniture. The Limerick has two en-suite bedrooms each with a king size bed. The living area includes counter seating for four plus table seating for four.
Hutchison station is approx half way between Lexington and Paris-
• 10 minutes to downtown Paris.
• 15 minutes to the Kentucky Horse Park
• 20 minute to downtown Lexington.
John-George and Sadie our miniature donkeys happily accept treats.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The place is amazing, and it was special to be out in the countryside. I would highly recommend.

What a great property! It was bigger than anticipated with large, spacious bedrooms. The property is very clean with beautiful wood floors. It is located right in the middle of horse country and an easy (and beautiful) drive into downtown Lexington (about 20 minutes). The donkeys were a hit with all and enjoyed the apples and carrots. Communication with the owners was very easy. You will potentially meet the owners and others working the property. All were very pleasant, happy to help & answer any questions. I highly recommend this rental! It is one floor with parking on a well maintained gravel driveway.

The property was immaculate and well designed. The view of the horse pastures was wonderful as were the mares and foals. Wonderful high ceilings and a light filled great room. My only critique is that there is no house number so it took a couple minutes to find.

The train station surpassed our expectations. Everything about it was nice and polished. The floors, lighting and many of the details were similar to what would have originally existed in a train station. The bed was very comfortable which is a bit unusual when it is not your own bed. We enjoyed walking the property and vsiting the horses and donkeys. Not sure if we will even have another opportunity to be in Paris, but we would definitely stay again if we did.

What a great place to stay! The location is beautiful. We were there for the K3D and after traipsing around all day for three days, we thoroughly enjoyed coming "home" to our beautiful and tastefully renovated "train station." It was comfortable, relaxing, spotlessly clean and well maintained. The owner and his wife live nearby and were clearly available if we needed anything. His wife added special touches that made us feel very welcome. It's a great place to stay!

This property is awesome. We enjoyed being out in the middle of horse country with beautiful vistas and horses everywhere we looked. We toured Lane’s End Farm and especially enjoyed seeing Flightline and the other stallions there. We also went to the Keeneland September sale with horses selling for over one million dollars. All in all, a wonderful place to stay.

The house was very clean and plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 kids. Fresh flowers and cookies were there when we arrived. The area is beautiful and we loved walking around the property and seeing all the horses. They were very friendly and walked right up to you.

My husband and I were looking for a peaceful weekend away to recharge and regroup amidst our hectic and demanding life responsibilities and we were not disappointed. The accommodations were beautiful and just top notch, bed was comfortable, kitchen was supplied for our dinner making, and the location- amazing. We sat outside to soak in the sunset and watch the beautiful horses and their foals saunter through the evening which was about as close to heaven as we could get for the moment. The hosts created a needed and memorable retreat that will remain with us indefinitely. Thank you, Steve and Lisa!

Absolutely loved the area and old railroad station that the property was at. Pictures do not do it justice. The owner stopped and talked with my husband and told him we could walk up to the barn and told us about things to do in the area. Every morning we took our walk to the barn and loved on the horses. February is when babies are born so it was neat to see so many moms with their babies. My favorite horse was It's the Swede she was so sweet I wish I could take her home. Then there was John George and Sallie these two are the sweetest donkeys you will ever meet. John George love's his treats so make sure you bring him something when you visit. I will definitely stay here again. It was in beautiful horse county but close to everything. I wish I could move in it was so peaceful. My family loved everything. The beds where comfortable and the kitchen was huge with everything you need. Believe you will not want to leave.

Great place to stay in a country setting. The apartment was very clean and comfortable and spacious. There were mares and foals in the pasture across the driveway. Some of the mares and foals would come up to the fence so you could pet them. You could walk up the driveway to the barn to see other horses. Adirondack chairs were provided which was great to sit and relax in the afternoon while enjoying the view. Definitely a 5 star experience.

My husband and I were thrilled with our stay at Hutchison Station. The accomodations were fantastic and being able to walk out the door to see horses and foals as well as donkeys was a dream come true. The only drawback was slow internet but I think that might be because of limited cell towers? We would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat.

Let me just start by saying. We very rarely ever stay in the same place twice because we like to try new places and experience new things but this is one i loved returning back to. The Parkes family are outstanding hosts and make you feel very welcome. I loved speaking with them about the area, restaurants and especially the horses which are the highlight of the stay for me. You have the freedom to get up and close with the horses and the donkeys, dont want to forget about those two. Its like you get to go and hang out at your very own horse farm. The accommodations are very well kept and have all the things you need. Two large bedrooms with comfortable beds. Large windows throughout to be able to watch the horses from the comfort of the living room if your not out with them. I cannot wait until I can go back again. Its just so relaxing for me.

The place is very spacious and exceptionally clean. It is located conveniently close to Keeneland and many horse farms. My favorite spot was sitting beside the window watching the mares and foals grazing in the field. The donkeys (John-George & Sadie) are very entertaining and always reminded me if I forgot to give them a carrot when I walked by. We enjoyed it so much, we reserved our next visit before we left!

Lexington was the midway point for a meet up with siblings and spouses to celebrate 70th birthdays! So glad we looked on VRBO and found this great place to stay. More like home, definitely not the hotel experience. Looked and felt like a complete renovation just wrapped up last week. Very nice, fully equipped. Beautiful quiet setting but close to everything in town. Restaurant recommendations were excellent. We plan to stay again when we pass through Lexington.

It’s hard to imagine a more beautiful Kentucky experience. The stone fences rolling through the hills and meadows dotted with thoroughbreds. It all gives a sense of awe to be surrounded by an unspoiled corner of the earth.

It was a wonderful experience. The accommodations were very well done and cared for. The area was nice,quiet and beautiful. The donkeys were quite friendly,especially if you give them treats. The owners were helpful,friendly and easy to talk to. We even got to look into another building they are working on for future rental. Very nice high quality construction,should be exceptional when done. I just can't think of enough good things to say about our experience!!

Clean classic design with a tranquil setting. Newly remodeled and included everything you would need. Loved all of the horses and our donkey buddies. This was our first time in horse country and was the perfect home for us. If it were up to our daughter, we would move there. Steve and Lisa were wonderful hosts. Homemade cookies and beautiful roses were awaiting our arrival. Thank you for such a wonderful time!

Great Weekend Stay

Great Weekend Stay

We took a quick trip to Lexington for a family weekend get away and could not have been more pleased with our stay! This property is beautiful, we enjoyed feeding the donkeys and walking down the lane to see the horse and their babies. As far as the interior of the home, it was immaculate. The history added a nice backstory and the remodel was beautiful. Steve stopped by to welcome us and offer a few restaurant suggestions and was very hospitable. We visited Claiborne Farm and a couple distilleries and this was the perfect home base. I would 100% stay again when back in the area.
