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. Both king bedrooms upstairs 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 main floor and second floor of the cottage, front door, side kitchen entry door and the brick outdoor patio will be completely private for your use. The lower level garden suite with separate access door is available for rent at www.vrbo.com/4323397. 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!

Other Things to Note
THIS PROPERTY IS STRICTLY PET FREE DUE TO PROXIMITY TO HORSES.

Also, based on the luxury interior and horses in the adjacent paddocks, the home is not suitable for young children. We welcome adult groups and young adult guests over the age of 15. Primary renter must be 30 years of age or older.

There is a security guard that roams the property from 6pm to 4am. There are also Ring security cameras at each entrance to the cottage. There are no cameras inside the home.

What an amazing house and property to help make your Kentucky trip memorable! The house is so beautiful and decorated in elegant equine decor that matches the truly fantastic horse farm. Every detail has been taken care of for you and your guests to be right at home. The beds are so comfortable and the bathrooms are spa like with fluffy towels and a heated towel rack! it is wonderful to wake up to sunrises and horses right outside your door. Sunsets also are spectacular with the long views of winding fences and rolling hills. Laura is wonderful to work with right from the start and is great to communicate with during your stay. The house is so well appointed that you will not need anything extra. We truly enjoyed our stay and cannot wait to be back next year!

From the picturesque setting, gorgeous horses including mares and babies on the property, and beautiful essentially new well appointed cottage, down to the small surprises in closets and cupboards including lint rollers for your clothes, sunscreen, bug spray, small toiletries, and fun things in the kitchen, Laura has thought of everything you never knew you wanted/ needed. The house is spotless. Beds are extremely comfortable. The area is composed of stately horse farms, and it is said that Queen Elizabeth favored staying at a farm adjacent to this property. It would be wonderful to return, as this vrbo was well beyond our expectations and even lovelier than the photos depict. You won't go wrong booking this property!

Everything about this property is amazing! From the property itself, the views, to the home. It was the nicest home-away-from-home we have ever stayed in and we will definitely be back. The home was immaculate, had everything we needed including many little extras. High end finishes, comfy beds, a true first class experience!!!

We all loved EVERYTHING about our stay at the Arcadia Farms Cottage. The home itself was exceptionally clean and extremely accommodating. All private areas along with the common areas were really well laid out for maximum comfort and included amazing views out each and every window! And those views of the surrounding horse farm - were absolutely stunning! Our Host, Laura, was extremely responsive to any questions I had & even checked on us to make sure everything was satisfactory. We had the pleasure of meeting the Farm's Manager, Marian - who provided us with a wonderful wealth of information about the farm and horses. It is apparent that the owner and staff understand and are committed to high standards of hospitality and customer service. As a horse lover - staying at Arcadia Farms was a dream come true! Definitely a memorable experience. One that I look forward to repeating in the near future. I HIGHLY recommend staying at the Cottage.

We had a great time. Beautiful setting and the house is quite nice. Unique experience staying in the middle of an operating horse farm. The kids had a great time seeing all the horses and wandering around. Close enough to restaurants and activities in downtown and surrounding area.

I’ve stayed at probably 30 VRBO properties and this is the best one. Beautiful house on a wonderful Kentucky horse farm. Next time this house will be our vacation instead of using it to visit other attractions in the area.

A lovely classic home with modern luxuries surrounded by absolutely beautiful landscape. We enjoyed the beauty and quiet of location, just 15 minutes from the Kentucky Horse Park. The management team was pleasant and quick to respond. The entire home and furnishing of high quality and comfort. Every little extra detail was much appreciated.

Being able to get up every morning and walk along all the paved pathways to experience the beautiful scenery & horses was so incredibly peaceful. We all wanted to stay longer! We were even greeted by the owner one afternoon while walking and she graciously took time to talk to us about the farm and could not have been nicer! Just the most idyllic setting you could ask for.

This property was simply beautiful, well maintained and the cleanest home we've ever stayed in. From the check in to the house being well lit and music playing when we entered. The bedding and bathrooms were 5 star. The owners take great pride in their home and it shows.
