Ellen was a wonderful She was very knowledgeable about the area and gave us many fantastic recommendations for activities and eateries. The accommodation were as stated on the site. Lovely!

A new experience for us…nothing else like it! Wonderfully novel!

Brought our mom to midway to celebrate her 70th birthday. Our stay was amazing. Ellen is the best!! The place was just perfect!

This house was very beautiful and accommodating for our needs!!!!

My stay couldn’t have been more perfect! The horse park is a short drive and several excellent restaurants are within walking distance. The town of Midway and the accommodations were absolutely charming. Ellen’s beautiful artwork, fascinating life story and love of horses (as evidenced in her art) made my stay even more memorable and special. I would definitely recommend a stay here. Ellen, thank you so much for a fabulous stay.

Ellen’s house is a perfect location in Midway. It is within walking distance of shopping and the wonderful Heirloom Restaurant. It is a short and beautiful drive to Keeneland and many distilleries. Her home is charming, comfortable and full of her exquisite art! I want to own every piece ❤️ She is an excellent host and I would highly recommend her home to any visitor to Kentucky!

We had a wonderful stay. The house was so cute and comfortable. Very affordable and we will definitely be staying again.

We loved our time at Ellen's place. Cute, cozy, and in the center of little downtown Midway, KY. Walking distance from many great little restaurants, bars, and shops and a great walking trail too. Thanks Ellen!

Staying at Ellen's was very refreshing. Ellen was very easy to work with and very patient with answering my questions. I was a little concerned about being near the train tracks, but it was very cool! Most of the time we didn't know it had went by! The steep stairs were challenging, but staying in a historical place made it worthwhile.

We had a wonderful stay in this adorable property. Very clean, comfortable bedrooms in a very quaint little house and community. Hostess was wonderful and we enjoyed all of her whimsical artwork. Bathroom is small but everything else totally makes up for it. We would definitely stay here again! Also, love Kentucky! Very convenient location!

Cannot say enough wonderful things about our 4 night stay at the Railway House in Midway, KY! From the darling home with very comfortable accommodations, immersion in the owner's gallery of bright whimsical equine art, the location in picturesque Midway to Ellen's gracious hospitality and engaging personality, made our visit 5 star plus! Great location & proximity to the entire Bluegrass area and Midway is the quintessential quaint Southern town with a variety of great restaurants and shops. We are looking forward to many more visits with Ellen!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this charming and unique place. We loved the original features of the house, and the location was perfect for walking to restaurants and shops. Ellen is a wonderful host and artist and our stay at the house made our trip extra enjoyable.

I was looking forward to staying in this darling rental in Midway above the studio of a well known Kentucky artist. Someone mentioned the steep steps in a post. I contacted the owner and we had some miscommunications. The steps are narrow and very steep. Not for older folks with bad knees. Great location but we could not navigate the steps much less get our small suitcases up. This is a wonderful place… so picturesque with a cute garden in front. Restaurants and cute shops close by. I hate to post this but I think there are many older travelers who might have this problem too.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying here while in Lexington/Louisville. Midway is a great small town and the rental is clean, lovely, and comfortable.

The house and yard were adorable. Ellen was a gracious hostess and very good with communication. The downtown was wonderful with good restaurants and walkable from the house. We really enjoyed our stay.

Again, we were not disappointed staying at Ellen’s in Midway. No problems coming and going as we pleased. Very comfy rooms and beautiful artwork. Since we are repeat guests, we knew the stairway is steep and bathroom sink is small but not a big deal. The downtown has nice shops and restaurants. Beautiful drives everywhere and close to Lexington. . We love staying here and will definitely be back. Ellen is a wonderful artist and hostess.

Quaint & enjoyable for those who can navigate steep stairs & cute, tiny bathroom. Two spacious bedrooms; we created a cozy sitting area in the larger room. Train lovers will enjoy close proximity to the tracks and the romantic sounds of it passing through the sweet town, which has wonderful shops and dining options. The owner is an accomplished artist with her studio and gallery on the first floor.

We adore this cute home. Ellen was so kind and an amazing host. Everything was clean and the beds were very comfortable. We hope to be back one day!

We had a very comfortable stay, the location can’t be beat in Midway. Short walk to all of the shops and restaurants. A great all American town. We purchased some of the owners artwork as well.

Very cute house. It’s the upstairs part with two large bedrooms and a shared bathroom. Midway, KY is adorable and Ellen the hostess was so nice. Very clean. Easy to get to. Perfect spot to visit several places in the area.

Home built in early 1830s in a nice / quiet town. Very clean and comfortable. Ellen was a wonderful host.

Highly recommend this unique accommodation tucked away in the center of downtown Midway.

Great cozy place to stay if you’re in Midway. Easy accessibility to restaurants and shops. Mini fridge, coffee and comfortable beds. Beautiful artwork and decor. Ellen was great and made everything easy for us. Enjoyed browsing in her art gallery below us. She is a very talented artist. Highly recommend.

Great place to go and get away from everything. Midway is a charming small town. Loved the limited technology, just what you bring, it’s a great way to live. Ms Skidmore’s house was charming and elegant. Her artwork is a very nice touch throughout. Highly recommended.

Ellen is an amazing host and made sure we had everything we needed. Many special wonderful touches and an opportunity to get to know Ellen and her inspiring story and beautiful art work. The little town of Midway is so quaint and the property is a short walk to wonderful shops and dining.

Ellen was a fantastic host! We enjoyed staying in her beautiful home. It was pristinely clean, and filled with her beautiful art! We so appreciated the goodies she left for us. Midway is a jewel! We enjoyed being able to walk to dinner each evening and back to the house to relax. I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking to disconnect from our crazy world and get away for a few days. It was a wonderful experience!

We had a perfect stay at Ellen’s lovely home. The bedrooms were comfortable and enchanting (Ellen is an artist and her amazing talent shows in the house decor- you will simply melt into it, it’s that comfy). The bathroom has everything you need, check in was effortless, and the Midway Bakery goodies Ellen left for us at the coffee spot were just the thing to get us started. Ellen’s home is smack dab in the middle of everything. One day we tasted Bourbon at nearby Buffalo Trace distillery, wine at Equus Run Vineyards, and enjoyed the genteel horse farms and the bucolic countryside in between. The next day we enjoyed charming Midway- strolled the downtown street and shopped the independent retailers, had pizza for lunch and topped it off with dinner at an upscale farm to table restaurant, Heirloom (highly recommend for food quality and values, super cocktails and attentive, yet relaxed, service). We had a wonderful weekend and highly recommend Ellen, her VRBO and the Midway area. We will return for Keeneland and more distilleries! Gwen D
