About this property

Renovated train station on thoroughbred horse farm.

Welcome to Hutchison Station, our renovated 1890’s train depot. Explore the horse farms, Bourbon trail and central KY while staying on our working thoroughbred horse farm right in the heart of the bluegrass.
Hutchison Station was part of the L&N railroad system between 1890 and 1950 with passenger and freight service between Lexington and Paris. It was the center of the local community and included a post office, 2 blacksmith shops, general store and cattle pens.
Hutchison station is divided into two ground floor apartments. The “Limerick” (named for Lisa’s event horse) has hardwood flooring throughout, 12’ ceilings and is furnished with local handcrafted and antique furniture. The Limerick has two en-suite bedrooms each with a king size bed. The living area includes counter seating for four plus table seating for four.
Hutchison station is approx half way between Lexington and Paris-
• 10 minutes to downtown Paris.
• 15 minutes to the Kentucky Horse Park
• 20 minute to downtown Lexington.
John-George and Sadie our miniature donkeys happily accept treats.

Absolutely beautiful!

This property is absolutely beautiful. Clean, comfy beds, beautifully decorated and well furnished. Gorgeous setting! Only drawback was the kitchen only has an undercounter refrigerator without a freezer. That means a LONG trek back to the refr/freezer in the laundry room - probably not a big deal for most people without a "walking problem". Such a gorgeous, well kept property! Easy trip to super walmart and Paris.

Spacious elegant stay in horse country

The property was immaculate and well designed. The view of the horse pastures was wonderful as were the mares and foals. Wonderful high ceilings and a light filled great room. My only critique is that there is no house number so it took a couple minutes to find.

If you are looking for a peaceful and gorgeous place to stay surrounded by nature, horses, and donkeys, this is it! I have been coming here for many years now and it never gets old. Great, communicative hosts, and the property is always immaculate.

Exceeded All Expectations!

What a great place to stay! The location is beautiful. We were there for the K3D and after traipsing around all day for three days, we thoroughly enjoyed coming "home" to our beautiful and tastefully renovated "train station." It was comfortable, relaxing, spotlessly clean and well maintained. The owner and his wife live nearby and were clearly available if we needed anything. His wife added special touches that made us feel very welcome. It's a great place to stay!

We loved it!

The house was very clean and plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 kids. Fresh flowers and cookies were there when we arrived. The area is beautiful and we loved walking around the property and seeing all the horses. They were very friendly and walked right up to you.

Hutchison Station Review

My husband and I were thrilled with our stay at Hutchison Station. The accomodations were fantastic and being able to walk out the door to see horses and foals as well as donkeys was a dream come true. The only drawback was slow internet but I think that might be because of limited cell towers? We would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat.

Perfect Setting

The train station surpassed our expectations. Everything about it was nice and polished. The floors, lighting and many of the details were similar to what would have originally existed in a train station. The bed was very comfortable which is a bit unusual when it is not your own bed. We enjoyed walking the property and vsiting the horses and donkeys. Not sure if we will even have another opportunity to be in Paris, but we would definitely stay again if we did.

One of the best VRBO's we have stayed in.

Great place to stay in a country setting. The apartment was very clean and comfortable and spacious. There were mares and foals in the pasture across the driveway. Some of the mares and foals would come up to the fence so you could pet them. You could walk up the driveway to the barn to see other horses. Adirondack chairs were provided which was great to sit and relax in the afternoon while enjoying the view. Definitely a 5 star experience.
