It's a cute cabin right on the Kentucky river. And on the other side is a river wall. It's a beautiful sight and the cabin has 3 decks to view it from! The cabin is actually 3 apartments which is perfect for groups because everyone has space and independence. There is also a nice hot tub under a gazebo. Brenda and her husband Ralph are kind and accommodating. I will be back!

This is such a beautiful house (inside and out) in a beautiful spot. Highly recommended! Brenda was super friendly, accommodating, and easy to work work with. This property is especially good if you have a few (2-3) sub-units in your group. Each unit can have their own floor, and then there is plenty of large group gathering space outside.

This sweet cottage is only minutes from Lexington or Richmond but secluded enough to feel like you have gotten away from it all. My family could not get enough of the beautiful river views. We will definitely come back!

Charming Stay
The river cottage was perfect for our stay in Kentucky. All three floors were great, but the ground floor was a little stuffy at times. Brenda was great to work with.

Nice location, good atmosphere, great for a weekend with friends
The property was very pretty, the place was well furnished. We enjoyed the fire pit and the hot tub. It’s an ideal spot for a nice get together with friends. The location can accommodate more people than your average cottage / cabin. Would recommend.

Comfy, quirky house right on the Kentucky River
I rented this entire house for a weekend with several old friends and it worked out perfectly. The house is broken up into three separate apartments, which gave us each some private space, but also has good space for gathering in the middle apartment and on the expansive porch and huge yard. The view of the Kentucky River was a real plus, and we enjoyed playing horseshoes and cornhole. The neighborhood was very quiet (except maybe for us). Internet worked great. We didn't try the hot tub or the TV. We had a great time at the Proud Mary BBQ restaurant right up the road. Also, the property owner was very responsive to questions and requests.

From the beautiful ferns and coleus to the horseshoe pits, every feasible detail was impeccable. We will definitely be back multiple times. So peaceful, pleasant, and homey.

Besides the quaint cottage being a perfect fit for our extended-family visit (5 adults, 5 kids), Ralph & Brenda treated us to a boat ride on the river, fishing and stories of the area. Tranquil view of the river and palisades for the grown ups. Big yard to run and hot tub for the kids. We found plenty of family-friendly activities in a 2 to 60 minute radius -- Kentucky Horse Park, Boonesbough State Park and Shaker Village. Dinner at Proud Mary's is a must. So much more to see in the area. Hope to be back again soon.

We had 10 guys stay and everybody absolutely loved it. The property is very easy to get to from the interstate and there is so much room on the property for activities. I would highly recommend this place to anybody looking for somewhere in the area.

We arrived on Thursday for my son's graduation from EKU on Friday (it was about a 15 minute drive there). Despite the rain, it was beautiful both inside & outside the cottages. We came from NC & rented out all 3 floors. Brenda & Ralph were THE best hosts ever - thought of everything. Tents, charcoal grills (had a cook out Friday evening with the rain), tables & chairs, music system for the guys to use, even extra flower vases. She offered suggestions on great restaurants (there was a notebook in each cottage with more information as well), also gave me directions to Costco. We all had a wonderful time with family & friends & would come back here in a heart beat if we find ourselves in the Lexington/Richmond area again.

Peaceful location on the river
Spent kentucky derby week at the cottage with my family. We rented the whole cottage and had an amazing time! Location was perfect,price was very reasonable compared to other VRBO,Air b&b properties we have rented. Plenty of room for the grandkids to run around and play. Owners were warm and welcoming and responded immediately to a minor leak issue. I would highly recommend this property and plan on returning soon.

Our youngest of three sons was getting married at The Castle Post. We needed a place that would allow the immediate family (mom, dad, brothers and spouses) to be together when necessary and provide privacy when desired. We also wanted a place that was conveniently located, quiet, and relaxing. This place met all of our requirements. It is close to town for restaurants, grocery stores, shopping, area attractions, events, etc., yet remote enough to provide peace and tranquility while relaxing on the banks of the river or soaking in the hot tub. The three floors are fully contained units with all the amenities. The hosts were pleasant, knowledgeable, and accommodating.

My family and I stayed here for a weekend. We had a great time. We rented the first and second floor. They were both clean and had everything we needed for our stay. There is a book with all of the restaurants, churches, hospitals and attractions nearby. A nice touch.The view is pretty amazing. We enjoyed corn hole, horseshoes, the fire pit and the hot tub. We appreciated all the little touches to make our stay comfortable. We will definitely be staying again!

Our family had all 3 levels.We had all ages from 2years to 55 and everyone had a great time. We had an awesome experience. We booked very last minute literally a few days before the trip. Brenda was very accommodating, we felt like we were at home. Thank you so much! We will definitely be back!

Brenda,
Thank you for providing such a wonderful stay. The scenery was so beautiful, and the cottage was everything we needed for our weekend. We appreciated your recommendation of the Jean Farris Winery; the food was excellent. The cottage, while feeling like we were miles from any city, was very conveniently located close to everything. I have sent pictures to all of my family because I want them to go down and enjoy your beautiful place, as well! We are planning to return next Spring.
