About this house rental
This unique, early 1800’s historic house sits 50 FEET from the railroad. The train blows by 3x during the day, tooting & whistling away & once or twice at night. It is the second oldest residence built in Midway. The plot of land where the house sits was one of the initial purchases from the railroad company which was one the first towns in KY to build a Railroad Town. GUESTS NEED TO CONFIRM THEY CAN HANDLE THE ORIGINAL OLD STEEP & NARROW STAIRCASE BEFORE BOOKING ACCEPTED.
Guests will enjoy their private, bright & cozy upstairs with 2 nicely sized bedrooms with plenty of closet space. The bathroom in between the bedrooms & breakfast nook is very small, but clean & efficient. There is a mini fridge, coffee & tea station. Ice bucket @ 5:00 pm each night is available upon request. Entrance & exit is through the front door & through the one-room art gallery which is closed off from the rest of the house. 9 ORIGINAL VERY STEEP & NARROW STAIRS leads to the cheery upstairs accommodations. STAIRS ARE NOT FOR PEOPLE WITH MOBILITY ISSUES. BIG, HEAVY SUITCASES ALSO WILL POSE A PROBLEM IF YOU ARE NOT UP FOR WRANGLING THEM UP THE 9 STAIR CLIMB.

Noting but character and charm in this historic house in the beautiful town of Midway, KY. This is the epitome of a Bluegrass experience. When you visit, don't fail to eat and Heirloom, just down the street.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Ellen is an excellent host and accommodated our every request with gladness. The atmosphere and decor of this lovely home takes one back to another time in old Midway. It’s walkable to all of the best dining and shopping in downtown Midway. The staircase does have steep stairs, and some may find the shower a little small, but neither were issues for us. The rooms were comfortable. We were provided a small fridge, single cup coffee maker and tea kettle with great tea and coffee selections. There were so many cute touches. We will be returning for sure.

I loved being in this cozy, historic home. So refreshing being somewhere with history and personality. Ellen is an absolute joy, and being surrounded with her artwork made me smile every day. The beds are comfy, the little coffee nook and mini fridge is such a nice, hospitable touch. The location is perfectly centered between Keeneland and The Horse Park. Also, easy to get to Buffalo Trace for those bourbon lovers. Downtown Midway had a surprising number of resteaunts to choose from in walking distance. And do NOT miss going to your host's charming art gallery before dinner. Absolute gem.
