Georgetown, Kentucky
Combine the luxurious comforts of a 5-star city hotel with the peaceful splendor of life on a Kentucky horse farm and you have the unique experience of a stay at Arcadia Farm Cottage. The word “Arcadia” is often used to designate an idyllically pastoral place where one can be in harmony with nature. Aptly named, Arcadia Farm is a majestic equestrian property located in the finest part of the Bluegrass countryside, about 12 miles from downtown Lexington and 5.5 miles from the Kentucky Horse Park.
The Space
Arcadia Farm Cottage was built in 2018 after my husband and I purchased the 384-acre farm from the Carrick family, who acquired it via land grant in the 1800s. The cottage sits on the original homesite, a high point of the property facing west, and all windows feature incredible views of the rolling green hills, paddocks, and Goose Creek to the south. Currently, the farmland to the north of Goose Creek is used for a mare and foal horse operation and the rest of the farm is used as a hay and wildlife habitat. In addition to the horses grazing in the paddocks, the farm is full of wildlife including red foxes, coyotes, deer, rabbits, raccoons, otters, geese, ducks, herons, turkeys and many songbirds.
Upon arrival, you’ll enter from beautiful tree-lined Mount Horeb Pike through Arcadia Farm’s front gate (secured with a code) and follow the paved drive up a gentle incline to the cottage. There is a parking area at the top of the hill adjacent to the patio and side entry door. The property is full of thoughtful touches intended to honor the history of the farm and surrounding area, such as the stone steps that were brought in from an old bridge nearby and the bricks that make up the patio, which were reclaimed from block barns on the property. The patio has panoramic views and is the perfect place to enjoy the gentle Bluegrass breeze over a meal outside or gaze at the vivid stars at night. Inside, the luxury interior design has left no stone unturned. Equestrian style furnishings are perfectly suited to the surroundings and the kitchen features Bosch appliances and a beautiful custom table, made from wood from an old tobacco barn. All three bedrooms have flat screen televisions with Dish network, Tempur-pedic beds and pillows, additional down pillows, and super soft bed linens including sheets and down comforters with freshly laundered duvet covers. The modern bathrooms feature heated towel bars and shower heads with handheld attachments. Both king bedrooms upstairs have ensuite bathrooms with glass walkout showers and the downstairs bathroom located off the entry hall services the twin bedroom with a tub/shower combo and a stacked washer/dryer behind custom cabinetry.
Guest Access
The main floor and second floor of the cottage, front door, side kitchen entry door and the brick outdoor patio will be completely private for your use. The lower level apartment with separate access door is available for rent starting in August 2024.
The rest of the farm is accessible only by the manager of the horse operation and his staff. They come and go as needed but do not have access to the cottage. You are welcome to explore the entire 384-acre farm but may not enter the fenced horse paddocks or barns. Enjoy looking at the horses, but please don't touch!

There is a security guard that roams the property from 6pm to 4am. There are also Ring security cameras at each entrance to the cottage. There are no cameras inside the home.
Everything was perfect, from the beautiful landscaping to the idyllic rolling countryside, luxury amenities, and tasteful decor. The owners have thought of everything. We could not have found a nicer place, just wish we could have stayed longer.
We had a great time. Beautiful setting and the house is quite nice. Unique experience staying in the middle of an operating horse farm. The kids had a great time seeing all the horses and wandering around. Close enough to restaurants and activities in downtown and surrounding area.
The house and property were amazing. Great place to stay.
I’ve stayed at probably 30 VRBO properties and this is the best one. Beautiful house on a wonderful Kentucky horse farm. Next time this house will be our vacation instead of using it to visit other attractions in the area.
A lovely classic home with modern luxuries surrounded by absolutely beautiful landscape. We enjoyed the beauty and quiet of location, just 15 minutes from the Kentucky Horse Park. The management team was pleasant and quick to respond. The entire home and furnishing of high quality and comfort. Every little extra detail was much appreciated.
Very nice property. Clean and very well appointed . Lovely
Everything about this property exceeded our high expectations. The house was spotless, well-appointed, completely furnished and amazing horses in the paddocks.
Great property Not a good experience with communication from managers and vrbo
This is our second year staying at Arcadia Farms. We loved it. House is perfect for a family. Location is perfect for Horse Park. This year we all felt like we were returning “home” after staying there same time last year. Thank you.

Being able to get up every morning and walk along all the paved pathways to experience the beautiful scenery & horses was so incredibly peaceful. We all wanted to stay longer! We were even greeted by the owner one afternoon while walking and she graciously took time to talk to us about the farm and could not have been nicer! Just the most idyllic setting you could ask for.
