A little off the beaten path but a wonderful spot to stay.

funky little place in a quiet little town- you should be aware that you are a block from the railroad tracks & you can hear the trains roll through, but that is part of the charm of a small town stay- great breakfast place around the corner

I loved the town of Harrodsburg and the location of this place. I recommend that you plan your trip to include at least one day that isn't Sunday since all the cute, little shops and restaurants were closed that day... big bummer. Gemma was very good at communicating with me before my trip, which I really appreciated. I was only disappointed by one thing. The room wasn't as tidy as I expected it to be, which was really important to me for health reasons. I would like to believe that this was a simple oversight and not a usual issue with this listing.

House was clean, quiet neighborhood, close to stores if needed, host is very friendly!!!' Would stay again for sure.

Gemma's eclectic retreat is in a fantastic location! Shops, restaurants and night life are well within walking distance. Make sure you stop by the KY Fudge Co, Lemon's Mill Brewery and reserve breakfast at the Beaumont Inn.

Super cute and clean place.

We loved the jewel box! Stayed with our 14 month old and had no problems sleeping through the night due to trains. Easy to walk to several great restaurants and historic sites. Harrodsburg is a great weekend away!

Great space Lovely town, with great history Good foodie stops all around

Laura was a wonderful host and we thoroughly enjoyed staying in her house. We rented the whole thing with family and friends for a wedding and she made us feel so welcome that we felt like we were right at home at our respective houses. It was a great place to stay!

Laura made us feel like we were family arriving home for a visit. Both our hosts and the home were nothing less than spectacular. The hospitality, trust, and atmosphere made our short stay a great one, that we will repeat many times without a doubt. I will be recommending this property and Laura to all our friends and relatives who visit the area. Laura is an outstanding ambassador both for Airbnb and this area of Kentucky.

Laura was extremely kind and welcoming. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to meet her in person, but she made sure that we got in without problems and quickly responded to our questions. She was absolutely delightful and we'll certainly stay with here again when we are in town!

When I arrived, Laura was having Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends and they invited me to join them for my first American Thanksgiving. Afterwards, I got a chance to spend time with her and her lovely family. They made sure that I felt welcome and comfortable. The pictures definitely do not do this place justice! The house is huge and beautifully decorated with art all over the walls (a lot of them done by Laura). Overall, a great experience and one I'd love to repeat!

Great room and beautiful house!

Laura and David made us feel very welcome. We made friends with her cute cats, Jake the dog and Rosemary the raccoon, too! We were definitely given our space and David made us coffee in the morning. It was different than a B and B, for sure, but an experience nonetheless.

Place was awesome. Clean, comfortable and very spacious. Felt at home.

Our stay was just for one night passing through but Laura was an awesome host and the location of her house was great! It's a bit removed from the other houses in the neighborhood so it's great for people looking for some peace and quiet. The house itself is one of my favorite houses I've ever set foot in. Interesting and unique art work (I assumed done by Laura herself) and very spacious. I could definitely see myself going back here just for a relaxing weekend!

This was our first stay in an AirBNB and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! While still in the country - we were very close to Harrodsburg. About 20 minutes from Shakertown and 45 minutes from Lexington. Our hosts, Colleen and Albert, were accommodating and gracious. They provided clear directions to their home and even was able stock our refrigerator. The cottage was well appointed and very clean. There is a TV but no cable. However Netflix service was provided on the adjacent PC which allowed us to watch movies and stream our local television. Our rear yard view was of cows in a field and lovely sunsets. It was a very peaceful and enjoyable stay for us.

A cozy, comfortable cottage in a beautiful farm setting and only five minute drive to grocery store and other in-town conveniences. Colleen made our stay very easy and comfortable. I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet Colleen and Albert at the end of our stay. Excellent, welcoming people. Enjoyed the sunrises over the rolling hills of Kentucky and listening to the cows. Cottage is stocked with kitchenware, coffee maker, and computer. I would imagine this would be a great place for anyone with family / friends in the area and those visiting the nearby distilleries, historical sites, and farms.

Two adults and two infants were very comfortable in this cozy cottage! Coleen and Albert were very helpful if we needed anything, even over a holiday. Would love an excuse to come again!

Colleen and Albert were some of the most friendly and easy going hosts my girlfriend and I have had in our short ABNB career. From our late night arrival to adding a guest, and even accidentally letting out one of their huskys (so sorry guys!), both hosts were as gracious as can be. Their cottage is easy enough to find from the street and offers two spacious bedrooms with comfortable beds. They have a fully furnished living room and the kitchen/dinette easily allows a family to cook a meal if you want to. Colleen and Albert even have a washer and dryer in the cottage which is great if you're staying for a couple days. We were visiting family in the Danville, KY area and B&B's are hard to come by. Albert and Colleen made us feel right at home for a fraction of what any hotel stay would cost. We would easily stay with them again the next time we visit Kentucky. Thank you!

Absolutely beautiful house! Great communication! Directions were flawless! Hill country was amazing!

This is a fairly spacious 2 bedroom farmhouse style place with attention taken to all the details! Ceiling fans and a well stocked kitchen, and just far enough from town to be quiet at night.

Great cozy little place, towns far enough to touch but far enough away for some peace and quiet. Colleen & Albert were very helpful, attentive and obviously have a love for their amazing home. See you again soon!

Beautiful place and wonderful hosts! We throughly enjoyed our stay.

Gemma's place welcomes you with a wonderfully inviting front porch. Once inside the pink door, the house is equally charming. At once, you feel comfortable and at home. Our dog enjoyed having a food and water dish ready for her - and even some dog treats! The master bedroom is spacious, and the bed very comfortable. The residential neighborhood is quiet, and a variety of restaurants are nearby. Communication with Gemma was excellent. Our two night stay was lovely - and driving to Scottsville to view the total solar eclipse in a cloudless sky was spectacular.

We enjoyed our stay. It was really hot (close to 90 outside) but the central air kept the house very comfortable. You can really relax. And Gemma was a great host.

My stay in Rose Cottage was a pleasure. The cottage is nicely appointed and provided an excellent base from which to explore Kentucky horse country. I could walk my dog in Fort Harrod Park, at the end of a short block from the cottage, have a meal at Shaker Village about 8 miles north, drop in on decent coffee bars in Harrodsburg or Danville (college town, about 15 min south), and get to downtown Lexington in a little under an hour (via US 127 and the Bluegrass Parkway). And notably, the countryside in between all these points is worth the journey, especially the two lane US 68 from around Wilmore to Harrodsburg, which includes a stimulating four mile ride down to and up from the bridge over the Kentucky River.

Gemma is very sweet. She responds to the message and all your questions very fast. She also stoped by to drop us fresh towels during our second night's stay!

We had a very late check in but the place was cozy, comfortable and quiet

Cute, charming house. Nice and clean. Gemma included some nice personal touches, like flowers on the table and nightstand. We only stayed one night on our way home from vacation, so we didn't get to experience much of the area.

Just about what we were expecting, super cute/ cozy and very quiet. I booked it before seeing the listing and didn't know there wasn't wifi but after adjusting to the quiet it was enjoyable. Perfect location for our travels. Would stay again

Gemma’s place was just as described! From the decorations, to the furniture it was like taking a short trip back in time! The pictures are very accurate for the home. This house was a great size for us, as there were only two of us. There was even a spare room we didn’t use that would be good for two children, but any more than that would have made this a cramped space. The home was very clean, and Gemma had plenty of dishes, pots, pans, and coffee maker for us to use. Clean towels and linnens everywhere! Paper towels and toilet paper well stocked, we were in need of nothing! Although we arrived at night, we found it with ease. The house is on a private street without a throughway which meant very little traffic. I had seen others complain about the train nearby; however I never even noticed the sounds from them. It was in a terrific location to downtown Harrodsburg, just around the corner from the Historic Fort, and within walking distance of coffee shops and breakfast diners! This space was perfect for what we were looking for, A little rest and relaxation. No TV and No Wifi was no problem for us, as we needed a weekend unplugged. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking to get away! Gemma was quick in response to all our questions, and we felt like we got a great value for the price! Thank you!

I really enjoyed my stay at this rustic restored home which is close enough to walk into center downtown but up on a rural hill. Laura the owner is very reliable and friendly. I would highly recommend this as a super comfortable place with so much to offer for the price!

Perfect for what I needed. Very welcoming.

The historic John Bridges home is full of history and has all the amazing details of an early 1800's estate. The tall ceilings and architectural details make you feel as if you have traveled through time. We arrived at night and drove in past the huge cemetery to the brick house on the hill. A huge thunderstorm rolled in and we couldn't have been happier to watch from the huge covered back patio. Not only that but we had the entire twenty acre estate all to ourselves for the night! David stopped by and recommended the local Kentucky Fudge shop and cafe for dinner. What an excellent suggestion! All the locals hang out here and the owner made us feel very welcome. As our first air b n b experience it was awesome. You really do immerse yourself into the local cultural heritage here. So much better than we expected!

The host canceled this reservation 85 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Our stay was so lovely! When we arrived, our host was readily available to help us get in the house and, again available when we had a question later in the evening. They had every amenity we could want, including a pumpkin, bourbon pie waiting for us and a fully stocked kitchen which was so helpful on Thanksgiving weekend. The space was great for our crowd and the bedrooms were comfortable. We would definitely stay here again!

The host canceled this reservation 171 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We loved staying at this apartment! Fresh linens and towels were great! We loved waking up and seeing the horses each morning. Alona left us crossiants, juice, fresh fruit and eggs. We look forward to visiting again in the future. Great little get away!!! We also met a neighbor who was so sweet and helped us reach the address when we first arrived. She also spoke very highly of this little apartment. Great first Airbnb experience. :)

What a serene and peaceful setting! The farm is about 40 minutes from Bluegrass Airport and was an easy base to explore Lexington. The apartment is attached to the barn (a horse lovers dream!) and the two bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The full kitchen was great for making breakfast in the morning with the fresh eggs Alona left us from her chickens. We had coffee with a horse peering in the kitchen window every morning! We had daily visits from the friendly farm dogs as well. Comfortable living room, shower had great water pressure. Lovely spot, would love to stay here again in the future.

Loved this AirBnB. Beautiful setting, lovely host.

Everything was clean, there was plenty of room and the sunrise is absolutely beautiful. I took some great pictures. Be aware GPS via (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps takes you to her neighbor's paved driveway. Pay attention to the mailbox number hers is gravel and may not be ideal for a super low sports car. My Chevy volt made it though. We would visit again. The dogs and horses were friendly.

Incredible place. The dogs and the horses are wonderful. Hope to visit again some day. Do yourself a favor and stay here.

A wonderful farm stay. Alona is a great host. The apartment is very comfortable, clean and spacious. We enjoy the farm view very much especially driving in and out. You can open the back door of the apartment that is in the barn and walk a few steps to pet the horses anytime you like, just remember that there are a few bugs here and there. The apartment has everything you need. We did not have eggs, juice or croissants as was mention in some reviews. We had a great stay.

Wonderful place, highly recommend for those wanting a quiet getaway.

Alona and her horses are so sweet. Farm fresh eggs, comfortable bed, clean linens and plenty of room to spread out all add up to a very calm peaceful environment.

Impressive! Robert is a wonderful host thinking of all amenities, providing pastries, and giving great directions on how to use DVD/VCR, etc. The Tavern is lovely, it's history is given in writing so it was fun to read and know about where we we stayed. Beds are comfortable, all amenities are quality. Without a doubt one of the top places I've ever selected in Airbnb.

This place is so beautiful the antiques are amazing and the decorations are wonderful Robert had pastries and breakfast items for us which was so nice. He let us check in early and even offered us a late check out The history of the house is amazing Awesome place you won't be disappointed!!

Great house with all the amenities! It is very convenient to campus and the downtown. Look forward to staying here again.

We loved staying at Cindi's Danville home. The house is beautiful, convenient to downtown, and we felt so at home! Checking in and checking out of the property was very easy. The bedrooms are super comfortable, there are plenty of sitting areas in the house so with multiple guests everyone can be comfortable and feel at home. We hosted a Thanksgiving dinner with a few of our family members and there were plenty of pots pans and other extra items in the kitchen that allowed us to easily host a dinner without buying anything extra. Next time we are in Danville we hope to stay at this property again!

Lovely place really close to the college.

We loved staying here. We booked last minute, when we realized our hotel was under renovation. Cindi was immediately responsive and helpful. She rescued us, truly. The home and location were perfect. Cozy, cute, and sparkling clean. We were staying with our newborn baby and could not have asked for more perfect accommodations. We could stay on first floor bedroom, with baby in the office, which was close to the kitchen. And any other guests could stay in the bedrooms upstairs. That meant no one would be disturbed by the baby and made nighttime feedings much more convenient. We will definitely stay here again next time we visit. Its perfect for our needs.

I spent the weekend in Danville to visit my daughter at Centre College. The location of the bungalow was ideally situated with an 2 minute walk to my daughter's dorm. The street was extremely quiet and I felt very safe. The bungalow has recently been renovated and was immaculately cleaned. I utilized the kitchen preparing a full dinner two nights and full breakfast two mornings. The kitchen was well stocked and again, spotless. I will definitely stay here again!

Great place!

We loved your home, the beds were comfy, and the kitchen was so well stocked. We made chili for the girls after their game and you had everything we needed to cook. We will definitely stay again. Wish we had found your place earlier in their season.

My stay at the Bowman Bungalow was fantastic! Cindi is such a lovely, accommodating person even though we weren't able to meet her since she was out of town. The house is so spacious, well-designed, and was perfect for our needs for the weekend. The closets - my god! They could be their own rooms. I have absolutely no complaints whatsoever. The next time I come to Danville for an event at Centre and do so with a group, this will be my very first stop. Mahalo nui loa again, Cindi!

This was the first time we did airbnb. Hugh was a great host and made me feel very confident and comfortable with the whole situation.The location was awesome on the lake- we did not get much time to enjoy it b/c we were there for a wedding, but Hugh had made arrangements for a boat to be delivered to the dock if we so chose. Would love to stay there again if we ever back int he area!

Hugh was a pleasure to work with. Despite some issues with the fridge, he was extremely accommodating and kind. Even nicer house than the pictures show. We will definitely be back - our new family vaca spot!

Warm and cozy. We were comfortable and warm in this quaint little house. We could walk to town for dinner. Thank you for opening your home to us. Ramona was very friendly and hospitable. We would come again.

Charming place in a beautiful neighborhood with a generous hostess -- what more could you want? Thanks for everything, Ramona!!

The "Little" house was perfect for our three day trip to the Danville area with our two boys ages 10 and 13. Located behind a huge Victorian era home on a very pretty street two blocks from the main drag (three or four restaurants, very pretty streets, Centre College), it was very accessible and provided an excellent base for exploring the area either by car or on foot. We were there for a memorial service and to visit family in an adjacent town, so we were on the move quite a bit. Thus, we used the house from about 8pm through the morning and then were out and about. I have to say, the setting is beautiful and we wish we would have been able to spend more time on-site as there is a nice sitting area right in front of the little house, and a large front yard with many ancient trees. Inside, the house has a good-sized kitchen with a table and sitting area, a large master bedroom with a small bathroom (shower/tub), and then a sitting room that doubles as a second bedroom via a pullout couch (perfect for the boys). The decor/architecture was neat for the boys to see - my grandmother had a similar old Ky home - with 12 foot ceilings and the original mantles/doors/mouldings, etc.. Although we did not spend time with Ramona and her family, she was prompt with communication, everything was as advertised, and I feel as if she would have been quite responsive should we have had any issue. If you have occasion to stay in Danville, we highly recommend the "Little" house.

Comfortable and warm on a cold weekend!

Ramona made us feel very welcome. Yet didn't invade our privacy. The neighborhood was very inviting. We were in walking distance of various interesting sites and stores.

Fantastic visit to the Downtown Guest House! Ramona and her family were delightful. The cottage is lovely, and I had everything I needed (and more!)

The apartment was very clean and cozy. Ramona made sure all of our needs were met. She and her family were the perfect hosts! Excited about our next stay!!

Great stay! Rami and her family were wonderful hosts. The Little House is walking distance to several shops and restaurants. The property is lovely. Highly recommend!

Beautiful house and magical location. Gracious and communicative hosts. Highly recommended.

Joe and Deb hospitality was over the top, Wonderful. Whenever we visit my sister. this is where we will stay. I also told all my siblings as well. Their place is immaculate, with a lovely quiet setting. It was the peaceful oasis that we needed to be refreshed and recharged.

Paul was a fantastic host. The Retreat was unique, elegant, comfortable, and just the perfect spot for a getaway! The outside space is so relaxing and so beautiful overlooking the water. We could not have asked for a better place to stay for some R & R!

My family of 5 (including a baby) stayed at The Retreat, and it was lovely. As a history buff, I was in awe of the 1843 former general store with living quarters upstairs. With the history of the building, the beautiful, wood-carved table and bar, and the prints of local art throughout, I felt like I was staying in a museum. When I awoke on our final morning (the day after visiting the Perryville battlefield), I could almost hear the cannon fire and gunshots of the battle. We were sure to also visit the building in the next block where Union officers were stationed. A natural cave can be seen less than a block away, streaming into the Chaplin River. And the river was serene and provided the perfect atmosphere that I could sit on the back porch and enjoy a good book. The Retreat was less than a block from Hwy 150, which is only a 15-minute drive from Danville. We spent a day visiting Centre College, but could easily return to Perryville for our stay. Paul was an excellent host. He met us on arrival and gave us a full tour (with historic perspective) of the property. He was friendly with us, and our well-behaved children didn't seem to make him nervous about the stay. As the first regular guests, we only experienced one problem, which was quickly and happily resolved. The first evening, the upstairs sleeping quarters were a little stuffy. Paul insisted on correcting this and installed a small air conditioner that quickly cooled the space. The second night was perfect. The beds were extremely comfortable. Everyone had very restful nights of sleep. In the morning, we enjoyed a nice selection of K-cup coffees and teas. Paul nicely left a can of Coca-Cola in the fridge as well. The kitchen was well stocked with glass and paper plates, bowls, silverware, glasses, mugs, pots, and pans. Unlike at hotels, we felt no rush to leave on the final morning. We simply left the keys and electronically locked the door. This was our first stay at an Air BnB, and, based on this experience, we will be looking into this type of retreat in the future.

Paul was a great host. He met me when I arrived in town and showed me around the property. The house is amazing and has tons of history. We will no doubt be back to rent this property next year.

The Retreat was an amazing place to stay with my bridal party. We had a lot of comfortable and cute space in which to relax and get ready in.

The Retreat was a perfect place for us to stay as we travelled south on Highway 127 during the annual 5-state yard sale (first weekend in August). The home is in a historic "merchant row." If you have time, walk around the neighborhood and drive to the Civil War battlefield. The food options are limited in this small little town, but you have to stop by the gas station (blue building) about two blocks away. We grabbed coffee and breakfast sandwiches on the way out of town and had fun talking to the man behind the counter. I would definitely stay in this charming, comfortable, and clean Air BnB again! Oh, and an added benefit to staying. There is a wonderful back deck that looks over a small creek. A great place to sit and have an evening cocktail...and just relax.

Absolutely gorgeous! Clean and inviting with beautiful decor. Open floor plan, so much more space than it even seems in the photos! Beautiful back deck overlooking creek. Beds were so comfy I didn't want to leave in the morning! Would definitely recommend to anyone!!

Our Perryville experience was wonderful, not least of which was our excellent accommodation at The Retreat, a beautiful 1840s two-story home that is spacious, smartly decked out, replete with creature comforts, a perfect combo of period and modern convenience! A real value; would recommend to anyone!

The retreat was a great place to hang out Paul was a great host and helped us with whatever we needed. that beds upstairs were fabulous

My family stayed here while visiting my sister at ATS. Lovely views from both sides of the house! It was very comfortable and roomy for our family of 6! Our dogs LOVED running around on all of the land surrounding he house and didn't want to leave! We will definitely be looking to stay here for any future visits!

Wonderful, secluded, delightful with many amenities necessary for a fantastic stay

We had a great time staying at the Timberframe home near Lexington. The owners, Lisa and Jamie, were very helpful before and during our stay. Lisa responded quickly to each question I sent. We also met Cathy, the host, when we arrived, and she was very friendly and helpful. The home is beautiful, filled with lovely antique quilts and special touches. We loved the quiet of the farm, the views out every window, and we even saw deer just outside the home each morning. Shaker Village and the Kentucky Horse Center are a short drive from the farm, and our family enjoyed tours of both. The kitchen is well equipped and the pantry has some spices, plastic wrap, and other essentials. We brought what we needed for each meal we planned to eat in the home, but having some back-up was nice (such as salt and pepper). The master bedroom is a great space with a very comfortable sleep number king sized bed, and a small study with TV and large master bath off of this. Our only negative was that the TV and smaller family gathering space was upstairs, and the 4 bedrooms were open to this space, so it wasn't a good place to gather after children went to bed. However, the screened front porch was lovely (though we had record heat and humidity during our stay) and we also enjoyed sitting around the large dining table playing games. We brought our own, but there were also several in their closet for your use. Overall, it was a great space and a lovely home for a quiet family get away.

Fantastic place. Very remote, which was a huge plus for us. House as described and very clean. Lisa was great about responding to questions very quickly and letting us know about everything in the house. Great location - review but within an hour of many distilleries and only about an hour and a half from Louisville. Very highly recommend both place and host.

We stayed at the Lodge for our annual family get-together. It was a clean, well-furnished, well-stocked, comfortable space. We were very pleased.

We had a great time at Anchorhold farm. The house is beautiful, and the setting is spectacular. The house had everything we needed, and the open spaces were perfect. We loved sitting on the screened in porch in the front and in the great room. We saw a lot of deer and birds, and the view down to the palisades out the back was stunning. There were games, videos and books. All in all, we (seven of us) had a wonderful long weekend.

Lisa was great to work with. She replied to my emails quickly and accurately. There was a lovely plate of chocolate chip cookies waiting for us when we arrived. Their home is beautiful. It is set in a very peaceful and gorgeous setting. My husband and I stayed here with our son and his wife, my parents and our three university aged children. There was ample space for us all. When I spoke to my dad on his return, he said, "I'd like to steal that house". I would recommend that you get directions from Lisa as not all the GPS's are able to find it.

We had an excellent time and the views were breathtaking! Nature visited us from afar daily!
