house picture

Nestled in the rolling hills of Kentucky's horse country, the newly restored log and stone house is located on a working cattle and horse farm. Lazy Rodgers Creek runs beside the house and empties into larger Stoner Creek. The house was built in the 1780's by Thomas Rodgers whose descendants still own the property. One of the goals in restoring this old home was to retain the rustic beauty of the interior, with its exposed log walls, yet install a modern kitchen and baths.

This house is located in Paris, KY, 30 minutes from Lexington; 90 minutes from Louisville, KY; one hour from Cincinnati, Ohio. It sleeps 2 - 4 people in its two bedrooms and two baths.

Local Activities

A short drive on the scenic Paris Pike takes you past the Kentucky Training Center to Lexington, where you might take in a basketball game or concert at Rupp Arena, attend the Keeneland races or horse sales, or book area horse farm tours. The Kentucky Horse Park is a must!

Take a day trip to Berea, KY to see their arts and crafts. Relive Kentucky history when you visit Fort Boonesborough or Fort Harrod. Visit the Kentucky History Museum in Frankfort, our state capitol. Louisville, home of the Kentucky Derby, is just a 90 minute drive.

Locally, Paris ("Horses, History, Hospitality") is a warm community. Visit Duncan Tavern, also built in 1788; schedule a tee time at Houston Oaks golf course; stop at the Farmer's Market for some local produce.
