Our Accommodations
Like the famous racehorse, Barbareau, Ragtime takes her name from a beloved foxhound. Sitting on a ridge in the heart of hunt country, Ragtime provides beautiful views from every room. Our front entrance opens to a myriad of surprises, from cathedral ceilings in the large sunroom to vaulted ceilings in the bedrooms, each of which comes equipped with sliding doors opening onto an old-style Kentucky porch, equipped with rocking chairs and spectacular sunset views.
Master Suite
 |
As you slip into this suite, your feeling of being transported begins. Floor
to ceiling windows engulf you in the natural beauty of the Kentucky
countryside. The soft movement of the shade tree just outside the window
whispers an invitation to step through the sliding glass doors onto the wide
veranda lined with rocking chairs, perfect for that first cup of coffee on
the cool, quiet mornings.
A fireplace of natural stone harvested from the grounds warms you in the
cooler months. The light-filled luxurious, roomy bath with huge shower has
spectacular views of the orchard and gardens. The views, the hand-painted
sinks, chandeliers, pottery, and eclectic art make this suite a visual treat
while enveloping you in comfort.
$95/weekdays; $110/night on weekends*
Huntsman’s Room
 |
 |
Tradition and elegance, a celebration of horse and hound evoked through
lovely prints of carriages, fox hunting, or the horse in hand. The sliding
glass doors flood the room with natural sunlight – or great theater should a
storm roll through. Relax to gorgeous views of spectacular sunsets behind
the old tobacco barn and gardens, the high pond at the entrance, and our
south ridge.
A double bed faces the glass sliding door, a private entrance to your
morning appointment with coffee in a rocking chair on the veranda.
A large shared bath across the hall pampers with its large shower, soaking
tub and more views of the gardens and orchard.
$65 weekdays; $75/night on weekends*
The Poet
 |
Inspired by a young writer in residence for several years, the color of the
room and artwork suggests intuition in harmony with nature. The sliding
glass doors to the veranda flood the room with natural sunlight – or great
theater should a storm roll through. Relax to gorgeous views of spectacular
sunsets behind the old tobacco barn and gardens, the high pond at the
entrance, and our south ridge.
Antique twin bedsteads and dressers make this cozy and spacious bedroom your
own hideaway. Step through the sliding glass doors to the veranda, sink into
a rocking chair, and drink in the fresh air.
A large shared bath across the hall pampers with its large shower, soaking
tub and more views of the gardens and orchard.
$55 weekdays; $65/night on weekends*
The Lodge
Your rustic old Kentucky home away from home — loaded with the creature
comforts that will keep you coming back.
Imagine: a simple country kitchen, a massive dining room table built from
timber from Michigan’s Cornell Bridge, a living room that toasts horses and
hunting, and fireplace to warm cool nights or, maybe, dry wet boots! A
warming stove readies a pot of chili or tea.
Relax with friends and loved ones after your great outdoor adventures at the
bar or to watch the big screen TV in cushioned chairs. Floors are riding
boot friendly.
Dorm style sleeps seven on rollaway beds – great for groups or families.
$250/night for 4 guests
Dining and Relaxation Areas
Past the kitchen with antique fittings, a vast living room with fireplace, a stunning dining room with floor to ceiling windows and cozy wainscoted den, you’ll find the jewel of the house at the north end: an Olympian sun room with a 360-degree view of the valleys. The floor to ceiling prairie-style windows allow a full embrace of natural light, while the décor mixes antiques, stained glass and art from around the globe. Guests may wish to gather in the sunroom to sip coffee while watching the sunrise over the misty valleys below.

A patio with fire pit and grill off the formal dining room allows guests to relax late in the evening overseeing a spectacular view of hillside and meadow. With 160 acres of fields, woods, and multiple creeks and ponds, there is also plenty to be seen on lovely nature walks around the property. Walking trails are mowed for your hiking or rambling pleasure.
