Truly loved staying here!!!! Hope to come back. It was located in a beautiful quiet neighborhood. We love walking around the lake where there was always some geese.

This house was wonderful. It was stocked with anything we could think of and we felt at home. There is a beautiful lake and plenty of room for all 10 of us. We enjoyed the location and small town close by. There was plenty of things to do when we wanted to relax at the house - puzzles, games, movies, hot tub. Sam was an amazing host, we enjoyed meeting him and even got to see his baby ducks and chickens! We'd love to come back when it's warmer and hangout in the pool!

The house in located just outside Nicholasville and a short drive to Lexington. Was very central to the activities that we had planned and had a great setup for the group we had staying with us. The outdoor fire pit and hot tub was a great addition along with the TV in the main living room. If planning a quite get together or a Bourbon tour this is a great choice.

Great place for 8 guys to call hq for the bourbon trail and keeneland. Lots of space to spread out while at hq. The pool table was a hit as we stayed at the house most evenings and the large dining table was super convenient. We didn’t get around to using the other amenities but that was our mistake.
