40th Birthday Celebration Weekend

We absolutely loved the property! We talked a couple times of coming back with our children. We were very impressed with the house, check in/check out, and the amenities on the property. The only slight complaint we had was there seemed to be a bit of dust in the house that made a few of us have a little bit of allergies. Everything else was absolutely perfect!!

The house was very clean and up to date with all the furnishings plus more. We really enjoyed our stay with so much to do at the house. Pool, hot tub and fire pit was our favorite. All beds were comfortable and large kitchen with island made it great for all of us to have breakfast and dinner together. Would recommend this house if you needed a get a way or celebration gathering just outside of Lexington. Sam was amazing and was willing to help with anything we needed.

Amazing Stay and Hospitality!!

Our experience at Sam's place was perfect for our group of 9 adults while we toured the Bourbon Trail during the day and enjoyed the home in the late afternoon/evening. Plenty of room for all of us with great amenities. We especially enjoyed the pool and outdoor spaces. Sam even helped us start a fire in the evening which was awesome. The home had everything we needed and would give more than 5 stars if we could. It was a blast and would definetly recommend and stay again.

Excellent Stay in Lexington

Stayed here for an extended weekend with several friends and 5 kids under the age of 5. Sam was a phenomenal communicator and had thought of everything we could have needed. Backyard is great for kids needing space to run around and the combination of trampoline, tree house, and bonfire made for several great activities. A bit outside the city, but an easy drive wherever you need to go. Would highly recommend if you need a place to stay with a larger group!

About the host

Hosted by Sam DeLong

Host profile image
Hello I'm Sam.
I'm a retired high school and college teacher. During my more than 30 years as a Shop, Drafting and Graphic Arts teacher, I tried to make learning challenging and fun by using a hands-on approach in all subjects. After retiring I also lectured on cruise ships which allowed me to see a lot of the world.

I was born and raised in Germany, attended German schools and traveled throughout Europe. My wife Carol and I have been married for 44 years. We have two children and one (very spoiled) grandson.

Why they chose this property

The Stone & Cedar Lodge was our primary home for over 35 year. Back in 1985 I designed the home and then served as the general contractor.
The house has a nice flow with a vaulted great room and a sun loft. All of the main large bedrooms have a walk-in closet.
About 2 years ago I had the chance to build a new house in the same neighborhood, which we recently moved in.
For the past months I have painted the house and set it up as a furnished short/long term rental. It was a big job and but now the lodge is finally ready for you to make some great memories.

What makes this property unique

Our Stone & Cedar Lodge is relaxing country home in a very quiet neighborhood in Jessamine county. Each building lot is 2.5 acres so there is plenty of space between each house. Sitting on the front porch, you will see a private lake with many trees and wildlife. The neighborhood is very peaceful - My favorite time to take a stroll is early morning or at sunset.
The pool is 16' by 32' and is only 4.5' deep - Please no diving. Great for swimming laps and playing games.
I want to make sure you will have a wonderful time and, if you have any suggestion how I can improve, I would love to hear from you. If the weather cooperates, I would like to build a nice bonfire during your stay.
