We thoroughly Enjoyed our stay at the house. It was very easy to check in and communicate with our host.
What a beautiful location in the heart of horse country. The town of Midway had good restaurants and cute To explore
Six of us stayed at the Dew Drop Inn for a long weekend of distillery visits and tastings. The cottage was wonderful and we really enjoyed ourselves. We would definitely consider visiting again. The only downside was the wifi was not working very well for most of our stay. The little bit of time some of us were working and/or trying to watch something before bed was a struggle.
This was one of our favorite rentals. It was so peaceful and private. The house itself is so lovely! When we arrived, we were all just blown away by how amazing the house and surrounding property was.
We enjoyed walking the farm as a family and meeting all the horses. Most of them came to the fence to say "hello" and were very friendly. There were about a dozen mares with foals during our stay which was super cool! We will miss all our new horse friends!
The sunsets and sunrises are amazing over the green hills dotted with horses all around and birds singing. We are city folk, so our boys enjoyed playing outside on the lawn. Lots of fantastic family bonding time! The farm became a destination for us, we made sure to leave time in our day to enjoy it.
Fantastic rental! We were visiting from Northern Virginia and the house made us feel like we were truly immersed in horse country. Our daughters loved walking to see the horses every morning and evening, and we enjoyed sitting outside in the evenings and taking in the peace and beauty of the farm. Everything was clean and tidy and well stocked. Thank you for the cookies, flowers, and breakfast items - what a treat!
Stunning property! The entire experience with Rosie, her family and their farm was everything we hoped it would be and more! It was so wonderful we have already booked it for next year!!
This property is stunning! Horse country at its best. Long rolling hills, expansive blue sky, tree lined streets, starry nights and the sound of birds to keep you company. Absolute bliss! Close to bourbon trail and all the fun & entertainment that provides, as well.
The owners go out of their way to make the house feel like a home, including fresh flowers, bread, eggs, cookies, cream and OJ! What a delightful experience! Will return and recommend!
We have been to The Dew Drop In at Saxony farms twice and both times our stay was wonderful. The land is beautiful, the house is wonderful, and Rosie is an excellent host! It is a wonderful, quiet, place to get some quality time. It is within driving distance of some excellent restaurants and distilleries. We will be back!
We had a lovely stay at the Dew Drop In. The house was very clean and well appointed with everything we needed. Loved sitting on the porch watching the sunsets and fireflies!
The entire experience was amazing from the gorgeous property to the beautiful home. From the moment we walked in the doors we felt right at home and the host family made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay memorable. The home had fresh flowers and delicious cookies! Make sure to take a tour of the farm while you’re there! 10 out of 10 recommended staying at Saxony and we’ll definitely be coming back in the future!
Rosie, her home and property exceeded our expectations. It was the perfect location to visit many distilleries. Great location, great views, beautiful inside and out. Rosie was a great host!
Would highly recommend this property for anyone. Beautiful, peaceful location. Perfectly met our needs for a week at the Keeneland Sales. Fabulous hosts!
Beautiful home and property, rich with history. Superb location. The owners go out of their way to make visitors welcome, even providing a binder that included listings for local favorite restaurants and the best ice cream in the area, not to mention bringing us freshly homemade cookies. We loved our week spent here and are already planning to return in spring or summer.
We loved the farm and felt so welcomed. House was great and exactly what our family needed. It was great to stretch our legs in such a beautiful setting but still be convenient to Keeneland, Midway and Lexington.
This was the perfect home for our stay while at the sales. So peaceful, comfortable and convenient, we loved it! Description and reviews are all spot on, would highly recommend a stay here. Thank you to our perfect hosts, Rosie and Broussard!
We really enjoyed our stay at Saxony Farms. Beautiful landscape and a great place to enjoy some peace and quiet. The homemade cookies and fresh flowers were extras that made our stay even better.
