Great peaceful getaway

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!

We had a wonderful time. The view is breathtaking. Easy check in and hosts were amazing if we needed anything. They even took us on a pontoon boat ride.

Awesome Cottage and Awesome Owners

This place was perfect for our mini family reunion. Each family could gather together at a common area yet still have their own private place to relax at night. The owners were absolute awesome hosts! The Kentucky River views from this cottage are breathtaking!

Beauty all around!

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.

Great getaway!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Brenda Oldfield

My husband and I love to fish and boat on the Kentucky River as well as enjoy the many country side beauties of our scenic state. Entertaining our family and friends with southern style hospitality is very important to us. We also love people and want to provide a place for others to experience the beauty of the outdoors and nature.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this three acre piece of property to have easy access to the river for boating and fishing. Though the house needed to be completely remodeled and the surrounding area cleaned, the view was overwhelmingly beautiful and made all the hard work worth it. The property is located 10 minutes from Lexington and 1 mile from Exit 99 of I-75 off of Ky 2328, so it is easy for visitors to locate when traveling in the scenic Bluegrass.

What makes this property unique

We love to stay at this property as the accommodations are private facing the Kentucky River with a spring-fed waterfall and stairs leading the the river's edge for easy access to fishing and boating. It is very relaxing for us to unwind in the gazebo hot-tub which looks out over the river or just sit on the deck and enjoy all of natures wonderful sounds.
