Great location! Out in the country but not too far from anything. Tom was very communicative while we were there. Our girls loved the loft bed.

We stayed here during a long weekend of visiting Keeneland, horse farms, and bourbon distilleries. We couldn't have been happier with the decision. The place was in a great location. It was such a unique and beautiful property. The views of the farm in the morning were great to wake up to and the owners were easy to communicate with.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The property is exactly as listed. We woke up to watching the sunrise over the field with the autumn trees in the back. The fire pit was nice and we used it the second night. We had all we needed and would book again.

Darley View was amazing! Very well stocked and the amenities surpassed our expectations. We loved having wine and bourbon on the patio deck watching the sun set. The fire pit was perfect for the cold nights. Great for a couple’s getaway. We hope to be back.

Wonderful horse country getaway!
Charming accommodations in a beautiful setting. Close to Keeneland, the Kentucky Horse Park and the Bourbon Trail. Tom was a wonderful host and gave us several great recommendations for places to go and things to do in the area. Had a fantastic experience!

Perfect Birthday Getaway!
My husband and I chose this property because of the views, the beauty of the backyard and how gorgeous the pictures of the house were. I've never been more impressed!!! the pictures do not do the property justice! When we arrived it was a beautiful afternoon, we enjoyed resting in the hammock in the back yard. There was a birthday balloon and some chocolate/bourbon liqueur from the host. The upstairs of the house was my favorite part with windows to see the views of the next door horse farm. The ceiling is vaulted and makes the room feel huge. The bed is so comfortable and the sheets are divine! The towels are all monogrammed and they have a basket of random supplies you may have forgotten, razor, feminine hygiene products, etc. They also left chocolates by the bed. Having a fire is one of my favorite things in the world and the host had fire starter and lighters as well as wood in the fire pit!!! I would most def stay here again. It was the most perfect weekend!!

Beautiful view
We wanted a short weekend and accommodations in the country in Lexington.. Darley view fit the bill. We had lived in ky when my husband studied for his PhD many years ago.
We had not forgotten how beautiful it was though and sitting outside in the evening watching the four horses in the pasture was peaceful and charming. The decor in the property, horse themed, had been well thought out. The upstairs bedroom area was stunning. I especially like the colors that made the room, and again horse photos. It was nice to be back in Lexington and enjoyed our stay at delightful Darley View.

Clean & Lovely!!
We had a wonderful stay at this charming property. It was exceptionally clean, and the protocols put in place by the owner have clearly been adopted in a strict way. It is small, a one bedroom, but perfect for a family of 3 or 4. The location is stunning, with a view of one of the most incredible farms in Lexington. The house shares the property with another home, but it still feels very private. The kitchen and bathroom are beautiful, and the horse-themed artwork is wonderfully done! A perfect spot for a family with kids who love horses!! The owner was very accommodating, and even set up the fire pit for us, which we never used because our kids fell asleep! I highly recommend this spot if you are looking for a small, affordable, lovely locale for your Lexington stay!

My new happy place!
This is the most wonderful place to stay. My significant other and I decided to do a workaction in Lexington to get away from it all during Covid and found this gem of a place! You won't believe the incredible view of the neighboring horse farm. We loved it so much that we extended our stay. Waking up to the rolling hills and gorgeous horses grazing in the distance is so amazing! The location is great. We enjoyed the Bourbon Trail, golf, hiking, UK and downtown Lexington. Highly recommend a stay here. The owner is fantastic and the home stocked with everything you can possibly need. Can't wait to come back!

Amazing property & location!
I have stayed at Darley View several times now. It never disappoints. It is an absolutely beautiful house, in an amazing location. In addition, the owner has instituted new cleaning protocols in this time of COVID-19, and I was very impressed with that as well. I cannot recommend Darley View enough to anyone visiting the Lexington area. Tom is an excellent host, and Darley View is second to none.

Not as private as pictures show
We wanted a secluded and private escape and didn’t get that with this property. The owners live in the house a few yards away that shares the same driveway and backyard. I didn’t see that in the notes on the listing and it doesn’t show up in the pictures. For the price, I would not have booked knowing this.
If this doesn’t bother you, the house we stayed in was clean, welcoming, and comfortable. It’s a central location for exploring the area and close to everything you need. Check in and check out was easy. Owners we nice and helpful.

Charming Inn
We went to the Kentucky Derby this past May and as part of our tour package, we visited Keeneland. We liked the track and location and learned about the Fall Horse Racing in October so we decided to book a trip. We wanted to find a location close to the track as well as something that would immerse us in the whole "horse country" feel. We found this gem of an Inn with a fantastic view of a horse farm. The home is so perfectly appointed with horse country décor and is so unique with one-of-a-kind furnishings including the magnificent bedroom on the upper level that gives you your own private balcony to look out over the pastures of the horse farm. The owners are very generous with their amenities and provide many items to use with their high end appliances. There were many special touches including a magnificent bed with SOFT linens and a heated bathroom floor! The upstairs also had it's own bar and refrigerator (and a snack basket) but there is only one TV in the upstairs. You can turn the TV to face the couch and ottoman in the suite which was important to us as we are avid football fans. The owner was very responsive to all of our questions and requests. We had so much fun during our stay that we will definitely return and hope to book this property again.

We had a pleasant stay at Keeneland because our stay at Darley View Cottage feels like home.
Darley View Cottage was like home for us because it have everything you need like in your home and close to every store, mall or restaurant. Tom and María were the perfect hosts. Thank you!!

Not as advertised
Anyone staying here should know this is a one bedroom place - not two bedrooms. And the sofa couch in the living room certainly does not count as a second bedroom - it had broken springs and was not usable for sleep. A claustrophobic loft with a high ladder open to the bedroom had a bed but couldn’t even sit up in it. Also I feel I was charged for three nights, not two.

Great Stay
If you are looking to relax and enjoy the view, this is the place. Excellent property, very convenient to Keeneland. Good location for good eats and shopping. But again, the view. Sunset on the deck was spectacular. We would return to this property.

Horse Lovers Dreamy Digs
Our weekend at the Darley View was wonderful. Such a comfortable slice of horsey heaven! Three of us horse friends were visiting Lexington to attend the Land Rover Three Day Event at the Kentucky Horse Park. We had fun immersing ourselves in the total "Equine" theme during the entire weekend. The property is uniquely tucked into the edge of the Darley horse farm, and every window had a magnificent view of the fence-lines horse pastures.
Every detail of the Darley View property was top notch. We truly hated to leave, and have hopes of returning to stay again soon. Thanks Tom for sharing your dreamy house on VRBO!

Beautiful and Relaxing
I had a wonderful stay at Darley View Inn! The property is beautiful, and the owners have thought of everything that guests could ever need to make their stay enjoyable. The location is incredibly convenient to everything, and yet you feel as though you are away from it all. I thorough enjoyed staying at Darley View and cannot wait to visit again!

Truly breathtaking vacation
I LOVED this rental. The property is spectacular and the interior is more beautiful than the photos. There were so many lovely touches, sliding barn door for the bathroom, beautiful bedding and furnishings and sitting outside on 2 beautiful evenings under the stars with a roaring fire in the firepit made this stay one of my favorite vacation rentals ever. There are detailed books about Lexington history and the photo album of this property from beginning to end is indicative of the amount of pride and love that is in Darley View. Tom is a wonderful host, friendly and hospitable. I wish my flight hadn't been so early, I would have loved one more morning on the farm but it gives me something to look forward to on my next KY visit. If this is available for your time frame, book it. This one is really special.

Wonderful Escape!
We stayed at Darley View last weekend. The Inn was beautiful with wonderful scenery. The King size bed also had an excellent mattress. The owner also thought of all the necessities that you might forget; make-up remover, toothbrush and paste. He also spoiled us by having two coffee makers; one upstairs in the master suite and the other in the kitchen. They both came with an assortment of coffees, cocoas, and snacks!
Darley View's interior decor was beautiful. The kitchen contained everything you would need for a very long stay and desired to cook. Next time we visit Lexington we will stay here again! We can't wait to sit outside, drink coffee, and absorb all the gorgeous beauty!
