Perfect location!
This is a charming cottage with lots of character & creature comforts. The breezy covered deck behind the house is ideal for hangin’ out. Owner is gracious & helpful. Location was perfect for our girls’ trip. Enjoyed gorgeous fall foliage, Kentucky Bluegrass Rail Explorers (so much fun!), walked to quaint downtown Midway for shopping & lunch, visited the champion thoroughbreds of Claiborne Farm (home of Secretariat), Race Day at Keeneland, toured the decks of Noah’s life-sized ark, and roamed beautiful Kentucky Horse Park. ♥️🐎

Great Location but Odd Experience
Overall the experience was fine, not great or good. The kitchen had random left over alcohol in the pantry, random condiments and various food in the fridge. Needs a refresh of pots and pans to cook with. There was an odd odor that we could not determine to be skunk or weed that was kept in the home. Upstairs air conditioner units did not function well. Interaction with the owner were awkward, invited himself into the home for a drink and cigar, lit a bonfire in the backyard with his grandson, after we were gone all day he came then to mow the grass when we wanted to just unwind. Overall, the place was fine but not somewhere I am returning to anytime in the future.

My brother, myself and our spouses combined bourbon and a family gathering. I looked at The Charming cottage location and the pictures plus glowing reviews. I decided right away that this was the place for us. I don’t like to brag, but I picked us a winner! Steve is a wonderful host.

We had a group of friends meet up that live in different states. The property was convenient to activities and restaurants and also had a great outdoor space to hang out and catch up. Nice lay out. Everyone had their own bed without having to stay in separate hotel rooms. The owner was helpful and friendly.

Steve is an incredible host! This property surpassed all expectations. The house has everything and more that you would need and is perfectly located between Keeneland and Buffalo Trace. Steve is a fantastic wealth of knowledge about Midway and has great recommendations on anything needed from restaurants to places to visit. Easily the best host and house we have worked with and stayed t! Steve's communication was exceptional throughout the entire process. We cant wait to return.

College move in
Our family stayed here while moving our daughter in to the University of Kentucky. The location of this property is ideal for anyone visiting bourbon distilleries, horse farms, universities, or the charming town of Midway. The property has a warm homey feel (not the cold white sterile looks to many rentals lately). The owners communicates well and was very accommodating to us as we had a late arrival. He made sure we were able to find his property easily. It was clean and the kitchen seems well stocked although we didn’t prepare any meals. I would recommend this property to friends and would stay again.

Between the bourbon distilleries and the golf courses that we chose to play the location was ideal. The property was everything that we needed and Steve was great. He was there for anything if we needed it.

Great place to stay!
My friends and I spent 2 nights in this marvelous cottage. The town is quite unique with delicious places to eat, where you can sit outside, if you want to watch those passing by. We sat around the firepit in the evening-great place to sip bourbon :). Location has easy access to the many bourbon sites and tours. I highly recommend staying here, Stephen was a great host, we hope to return..

Great outdoor space to unwind and catch up
We had a men's family golf outing for a few days and several of us wanted an alternative to the hotel most were staying at. This location was perfect as it was closer to both golf courses. We weren't at the property a ton of time but really enjoyed the evenings after golfing talking on the back porch and around the large fire pit. Steve was attentive and a great guy. Chatted with us a bit but left us alone unless we needed something etc. The bakery director next door was a nice place to get a breakfast sandwich and soak up the remainder of the bourbon from the previous night 😉

The listing is very charming with lots of great pictures, but the house was even more charming in person. What you can't see is that it sits in a beautiful small town with several great restaurants within walking distance. Couldn't have had a better experience!

Remember the hotel stay at the intersection? No one does.
Son's wedding in Frankfort, reception in Lexington. This was not only Midway perfect, it was ideal for family time. The cottage is warmly welcoming and very fun. The sitting areas made for GREAT family visit time. It didn't just accommodate a most important weekend (as a hotel would have), it became part of the memories: the comfortable visiting, fixing meals together, driving through Kentucky's legendary horse farms, the charming shops and restaurants of Midway. And a morning bakery within steps. Almost storybook. If I could change anything, I'd add a full size shower upstairs, but that's the nature (and charm) of an older house. And this cottage is all charm. And great memories!
