Photos and Description of the Lexington vacation farmhouse rental
5 Bedrooms, 2 Full Baths, sleeps 11

The view from the front door is pastoral- a quiet country road, a neighboring pond, rolling fields, a herd of cows. The broad front lawn is ready for a family gathering, a picnic, a game of croquet. Bush House is surrounded by rolling bluegrass pasture and trees providing shade and privacy. This beautiful country home was built in the mid 1800's by an ancestor of the owner. Part log, this vacation hideaway offers old fashioned country living in the form of 5 roomy bedrooms. Both full baths are on the main floor. The fully furnished kitchen has everything needed to prepare a special meal. A dining room to seat 12. A livng room with fireplace to seat the same gathering. There is a laundry room just off the kitchen. Outside the kitchen-dining area you will find a large deck with seating under a grand maple tree. Bush House is a place to gather, a place to be. Read some of our guests comments to understand what Bush House has to offer and plan to take time from your busy trip to enjoy,

Wonderful weekend Getaway

Review Submitted: May 23, 2011 Date of Stay: May 2011
What a great place to spend a getaway weekend! The location is excellent and the countryside is so serene. We enjoyed watching the mother bird feed her babies in the nest close to the house and the cows grazing across the road. We city slickers don't get the opportunity to see this normally. It was a bit too wet and muddy to walk the trails; maybe next time!

The rooms in the house were spacious and very appealing to the eye. The decor is what I would love to have at home! We didn't get to the racetrack but we enjoyed playing "The HorseRace Game" on the dining room table. You could probably hear us laughing and cheering our horses on all the way over in the cow pasture - I hope we didn't keep the cows awake!

Everything was well maintained and clean. What a nice surprise to find breakfast items supplied for us! How thoughtful! Chuck gave us good ideas on where to eat dinner. We followed his directions to Halls Restaurant and are glad we did. The food was good and the staff was very friendly.

We couldn't have had a better time!

Home Again!!

Review Submitted: April 26, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2011
Once more, our family enjoyed the wonderful Bush House for our annual gathering. This year the weather was not so good for staying at the Keeneland track for three days as we usually do. So we spent one full day -- about 14 hours -- playing board games. The dining table was the perfect place for 8 of us to compete and enjoy snacks at the same time! I hope we didn't disturb the cows across the road with all our whooping and hollering!
Every need has been thought of and provided for at the Bush House. We couldn't have found a cleaner, more attractive place. Having all the bed linens and the towels furnished surely makes packing easier. We love the robes and several of us enjoyed wearing those on "jammie day" when we stayed in and played games.
We drove over to Paris, KY for dinner one night at Verden's Bistro -- excellent meal and service. There really are so many nice restaurants and sightseeing venues in the area! We hope to be able to take advantage of those next year.
and, yes, we will most definitely go back for a third year at our KY home! Photos of this place, although nice, just don't do justice to the cozy atmosphere, the welcoming views, and the easy living to be enjoyed here!

Delightful Home

Review Submitted: December 6, 2010 Date of Stay: October 2010
Bush House is beautiful and the host family is fantastic. We had a tremendous stay in the home during the World Equestrian Games this past October. The home is well located with wasy access to the freeway and shopping whilst still being out in the country! The wallking trails and surrounding country side are beautiful. We enjoyed the house tremendously and would recomend it to anyone who wishes to have a country break while still being close to the city!

Delightful Stay

Review Submitted: September 20, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
We had a delightful stay at the Bush House. The house is so unique and beautiful, and supplied with so many amenities that it was just like being at home. The Lexington area also made a great vacation spot with all the horse farms and revolutionary war fort just minutes from the house location. Thanks again for the great hospitality.

Beautiful, serene home

Review Submitted: August 18, 2010 Date of Stay: May 2010
The Bush House was as beautiful as it appears in the photos. We visited from Atlanta and met family from Chicago there - the adults and kids in our party all had a great time there. The house was very well appointed. Some of our favorite activities were: meals in the lovely dining room, playing with the kids and puppy in the yard, walking through the wildflowers, and watching a beautiful starscape. We hope to have a chance to return.
