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 picnic, a game of croquet or a family reunion. Bush House is surrounded by mature pines and maples 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 4 roomy bedrooms, 3 with fireplaces. Both full baths are on the main floor. The fully furnished kitchen has everything needed to prepare a special meal. 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 experience, 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 it.

Idyllic stay

Fenwick Winston-Salem, NC
Review Submitted: June 23, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
The owners are extremely generous to open their old family home to visitors. You truly feel like guests from the well-stocked kitchen (it contains everything you might need to cook a big family dinner) to various bathroom supplies to the well-equipped laundry room. I have rented several cabins and houses and never had our needs met like this. We had a very relaxing time and really enjoyed the local area. I enjoyed my morning walks around the open fields and large lake (the local reservoir has a well-worn path around it). It was nice to hear the cattle in front of the house. I highly recommend this farm and look forward to our return next summer.

We loved being at your beautiful historic home for
Christmas. It was such a surprise to find all the
holiday decorations and the fruit and stocked pantry.
Our time there was peaceful and comfortable. I can't
imagine any place being more perfect. It will be our
first choice for future visits to Kentucky.

We had a fabulous stay at this gorgeous house outside of Lexington. The property was spotless and the owners made us very welcome upon our arrival. We would recommend this house to anyone coming to Lexington and will be back to stay again ourselves.

Review Submitted: July 7, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
The Bush House was a nice retreat for us and we enjoyed our stay there. We definitely prefer this to a hotel and the accommodations were very nice. We were able to cook out on the grill and enjoy a nice evening playing croquet with the kids. I would recommend to anyone considering a visit to the Lexington area..
