This 1890's former train station is situated on a picturesque thoroughbred farm in one of the most beautiful areas of Kentucky. In fact, when you mention our state to non-residents, this is exactly what they picture: rolling hills, horses grazing, stone fence-lined streets. And you get to spend the night in the middle of it all.
The building is on the farm's property, adjacent to a pasture where you will often enjoy watching the horses graze.

Once called Hutchison Station, it was part of the L&N railroad system between 1890-1950. At one point, the building housed a post office, livestock loading platform, general store, and blacksmith's shop.
