5 Stars just aren't enough!!!!!

This place is heavenly! Absolutely beautiful scenery, gorgeous property and home. The best we have ever stayed at! Location is great, not to far from the city but far enough away from the hussle and bustle. Amazing views all around, no matter which way you look. The host/owner is outstanding! So great from check in to check out! She considers every little detail to make this your home away from home. Just can't say enough! 10 out of 10! Would highly recommend! Thank you again, you and your place made our trip so memorable! Can't wait to come back.

Love the horses!

This was our second reunion at Claybank Farm, and it was as wonderful as the first. Even better because there were two mares with colts in addition to the horse-friends we made last year. The house is always well-stocked and comfortable. Julia is the best host ever!

Veteran Reunion

We spent our annual reunion at the farm and experienced the Lexington Area. This is our second weekend at the farm and Keeneland. Julia is the best host we have experienced on our travels. One of a kind experience having your coffee and feeding carrots to the horses. Property is top notch and well maintained. The snacks and meal items place for guests make you feel like family. Highly recommend this experience.

Wonderful Lexington stay

Three girlfriends stayed for 3 nights at Coliver house on Claybank farm. We had an exceptional visit, enjoying the surrounding property, mares and foals. Julia was a very generous and attentive host. We were so fortunate to be able to go with her to visit Spendthrift Farm. Seeing the stallions, trophy room, and spectacular beauty of the grounds was the highlight of our stay. Thank you, Julia and Des for such a memory. And Pepper, you are a dear and a talented tee shirt artist.

Family Christmas gathering in Ky

Ky is the halfway meeting point for our family living in Tn and In. We love the Ky countryside and enjoy the surrounding horse country. What better Christmas meeting place for our family than a 200 year old farm house on a working horse ranch. Our host (Julia) was very accommodating and the listing and pictures were very accurate. This property is somewhere between a VRBO and a B&B. The house was stocked well beyond a normal VRBO and Julia met us with a desert, as well as bacon and eggs to use for breakfast. We cooked a big Christmas dinner and had everything we needed. This is an old house so expect an old house. If you expect a modern home with ten foot cathedral ceilings and high end furnishings, this isn’t it. It’s all about the charm. The house is clean, nicely furnished, and very comfortable. We ventured around the stable area and met some of the horses. There is a wonderful small restaurant close by that you can see from the house. The chef is excellent and the food was great. We ate two meals there and the convenience was a bonus. If you’re looking for a vintage farm house experience on a working horse farm with everything you need, then I highly recommend.

Relaxing

The place is near the Kentucky Horse Park and Kroger is down the road. We wanted an atmosphere that felt more like home than a hotel. We were able to do things during the day and still come "home" for dinner. This location fit nicely for a weekend getaway. My daughter loved the horses too. Would stay again.

Perfect!

We had a lovely stay on the farm with Julia. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcome. She even went out of her way to plan some horse-related adventures for us and was very patient with our questions about the world of horse racing and breeding. Bonus was meeting the foals and other horses on the property and seeing the fireflies from the porch in the evening. We could not have asked for a better stay!

Just the Best!

Our family gathered at Colliver House for a weekend At Keeneland. Our plans were rained out but we still had a wonderful time. The house is comfortable with plenty of room for all. The farm is such a beautiful place. We enjoyed visiting the horses. The home is well stocked and the welcoming cookies were an extra special treat. Julia is an excellent host and offered ideas for rainy day excursions. Our whole family rank this as our favorite vacation rental. We all got much needed rest and relaxation. Cannot wait to come back!

Horsewoman Shenanigans!

My group of six woman stayed at this cute venue. We loved it. Plenty of room for all of us. The property owner was very responsive, informative, friendly and available. We are already talking about booking again for next year. We did need some help with how to regulate the heat and air features. Horses all around us was amazing!! And the restaurant on the corner was yummy. Best hush puppies I've ever had!

Love the Horses!

Very nice old farm house on a working horse farm. A mare an it’s foal (1 week old) spent most of their day in the field next to the house and loved to visit with us when we went up to the fence. Host was wonderful and the house had all the amenities one would ever need.

Lovely home for a family stay

We were delighted upon check in - the home was even better than in the photos and description. The personal communication from the host and them going out of their way to make sure we have everything we need during our stay were just some of the many perks of staying at the Colliver House. Make sure to say hello and be kind to the very sweet horses surrounding the farm! We hope to be back next year.

Railbird Music Festival

Our family of 4 including 2 older teens plus grandma stayed at Colliver House. This was our home base for the Railbird Music Festival. It worked out perfectly! Julia is a very attentive host. The homemade chocolate chip cookies were devoured immediately and the extras were so appreciated!!! Cheese and crackers, fresh fruit, coffee, soda, bacon and eggs, carrots to feed the horses and much, much more!! This is a very comfortable house. Not new but very clean. It feels like your visiting grandma's house in the country. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone who needs a place near Lexington. Very convenient to the UK campus.
