About this property

Scenic Stillwater Retreat in rural KY Horse Country, WiFi/AC, Fishing/Canoeing

Discover the beauty of Thoroughbred horse country at its finest in this custom-built artisan retreat. Spend your days canoeing or fishing on the private pond, exploring 27 scenic acres, and unwinding in the waterfront gazebo or sunroom. Enjoy elegant comfort with peaceful workspaces, indoor and outdoor games, and evenings by the fire pit. A refined yet family-friendly getaway—just a short drive to the Ark Encounter, Bourbon Trail, Keeneland, Horse Park, UK games, and more!

THE SPACE:
Stillwater Retreat is a spacious, custom farmhouse perched on a gentle hill overlooking a peaceful pond and charming gazebo—a picture-perfect slice of Kentucky countryside.

Step inside to a bright, inviting main floor featuring a sun room “front porch” with cozy seating and a breakfast nook—perfect for morning coffee with a view. The fully equipped eat-in kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and all the essentials for family meals. A comfortable bedroom with a queen bed and mounted TV, a full bath with a walk-in shower and laundry, and a large, lofted living room that opens to a broad backyard, porch with a grill, and fire pit complete the main level.

The primary bedroom features a king bed and a dedicated workspace for remote work or quiet reflection, while a second bedroom offers both a queen and a full bed—perfect for families or groups. A full bathroom with a tub serves the upper level.

Head downstairs to the garage game room for friendly rounds of ping pong or air hockey, or step outside to explore 27 scenic acres of rolling farmland. Cast a line in the pond, paddle out in the canoe, or simply enjoy the peace of the water from the gazebo. Whether you’re watching the sunrise, roasting marshmallows by the fire, or soaking in the stillness, Stillwater Retreat is the perfect place for families to rest, reconnect, and make lasting memories.

This was peaceful and beautiful. The kids played outside or in the gameroom in the basement. There was plenty of room around the table. It was comfortable and everything we needed. We were easily able to visit family in Georgetown and do side trips to local children’s activities, Mammoth Cave, and the Ark Encounter. The kids enjoyed canoeing for the first time and playing croquet and cornhole. We loved seeing all the personal touches of the family and seeing the story of the property.

Communication with the owner was great, so was everything on the property. I feel everything was as advertized and would stay here again. We felt at home, well, more like visiting grandparents. Very homey feel. Hopefully anyone that books this place appreciates the history and time invested in building it.

Great time at Scenic Stillwater Retreat!

Our stay at the Scenic Stillwater Retreat was peaceful! The property is strategically in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for reflection. There was enough room for our family of seven. The kids enjoyed themselves- plenty of games and toys to play with. The kitchen was beautiful and equipped with everything my wife needed. David was helpful at answering my questions. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would comeback God willing when it’s warmer.

Thanksgiving with Family

The place was great for what was needed — I was traveling back to Central Kentucky to spend Thanksgiving with family. Was able to use the kitchen for cooking full meal and have room to visit with family — the grounds were great and gave ample space to quietly reflect in the middle of horse country.

Friends Trip to Keeneland

We were 3 couples staying for a weekend trip to Keeneland and this place checked all the boxes! Plenty of room, and the outdoor ambience was perfect. We visired the horses, enjoyed time under the gazebo by the lake and spent hours by the bonfire under the stars! It was a wonderful trip and we will likely return!

Horse Heaven

This property elevated our week in Lexington from great to amazing. Beautiful horse farm experience in a very tranquil location. Home was well equipped for a big family, and communication was excellent throughout! Don’t hesitate to stay here-you’ll be taken care of and you’ll love all the green space. Would love to come back:)

Spectacular Property in Horse Country

We always try to stay in horse country Paris when we come back to Ky. Luckily we found this retreat when our normal property was booked. The house was exactly as advertised and felt like we were walking into someones daily estasblisment. The house was furnished with everything we needed. My only regret was we didnt stay longer.
