About this cottage rental

Combine the luxurious comforts of a 5-star city hotel with the peaceful splendor of life on a Kentucky horse farm and you have the unique experience of a stay at Arcadia Farm Cottage. The word “Arcadia” is often used to designate an idyllically pastoral place where one can be in harmony with nature. Aptly named, Arcadia Farm is a majestic equestrian property located in the finest part of the Bluegrass countryside, about 12 miles from downtown Lexington and 5.5 miles from the Kentucky Horse Park.

The Space
Arcadia Farm Cottage was built in 2018 after my husband and I purchased the 384-acre farm from the Carrick family, who acquired it via land grant in the 1800s. The cottage sits on the original homesite, a high point of the property facing west, and all windows feature incredible views of the rolling green hills, paddocks, and Goose Creek to the south. Currently, the farmland to the north of Goose Creek is used for a mare and foal horse operation and the rest of the farm is used as a hay and wildlife habitat. In addition to the horses grazing in the paddocks, the farm is full of wildlife including red foxes, coyotes, deer, rabbits, raccoons, otters, geese, ducks, herons, turkeys and many songbirds.

Upon arrival, you’ll enter from beautiful tree-lined Mount Horeb Pike through Arcadia Farm’s front gate (secured with a code) and follow the paved drive up a gentle incline to the cottage. There is a parking area at the top of the hill adjacent to the patio and side entry door. The property is full of thoughtful touches intended to honor the history of the farm and surrounding area, such as the stone steps that were brought in from an old bridge nearby and the bricks that make up the patio, which were reclaimed from block barns on the property. The patio has panoramic views and is the perfect place to enjoy the gentle Bluegrass breeze over a meal outside or gaze at the vivid stars at night. Inside, the luxury interior design has left no stone unturned. Equestrian style furnishings are perfectly suited to the surroundings and the kitchen features Bosch appliances and a beautiful custom table, made from wood from an old tobacco barn. All three bedrooms have flat screen televisions with Dish network, Tempur-pedic beds and pillows, additional down pillows, and super soft bed linens including sheets and down comforters with freshly laundered duvet covers. The modern bathrooms feature heated towel bars and shower heads with handheld attachments. The 3 king bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms with glass walkout showers and the downstairs bathroom located off the entry hall services the twin bedroom with a tub/shower combo and a stacked washer/dryer behind custom cabinetry.

Guest Access
The entire cottage and the brick outdoor patio will be completely private for your use. The rest of the farm is accessible only by the manager of the horse operation and his staff. They come and go as needed but do not have access to the cottage. You are welcome to explore the entire 384-acre farm but may not enter the fenced horse paddocks or barns. Enjoy looking at the horses, but please don't touch!
