About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Spacious family Lodge with solar heated pool, hot tub, fire pit and EV charger.

This family-friendly Stone and Cedar Lodge is great for longer stays.
If you are looking for a relaxing place that can comfortably sleep up to16 guests, you found the perfect place. The lodge has five large bedrooms and three full bathrooms.

Here are some highlights of what guest enjoy the most:
* Clean and private swimming pool
* New 7 seat hot tub
* Awesome covered outdoor area with bistro lights, table and fire pit with comfortable chairs
* Bonfires and roasting marshmallows
* Kids love the tree fort and trampoline
* Well stocked kitchen and gas grill
* Pool 🎱 and Foosball table
* Basketball and Corn hole games
* Peaceful neighborhood with gorgeous sunsets and relaxing walks around the lake

My Stone and Cedar Lodge is perfect for large family gatherings. The dinning room has a large counter height nine foot long table that can easily seat 10 or more guests and the granite island can seat 4 people. I have plenty plates and silverware for everyone.

It currently has a three night minimum stay, and if you wish to book for 7 nights or longer a 10% discount will be applied. If you wish 28 days or longer you will receive a 25% discount. The solar heated pool has been a big draw for guest of all ages and can be enjoyed from April 1st until September 30th.

My very first Vrbo booking started in June 2022 and it has been a great successful adventure. I never expected that so many guests would come and have a wonderful experience at my Stone & Cedar Lodge. Reading their amazing reviews makes it all worth all the time and effort. If you have the time check out some of the over 50 five star reviews. Thank you for all my past guest and I can't wait to welcome you in 2024.

Step-free Entrance: A new concrete ramp has been added near the back door that makes the house wheelchair accessible. All interior doors have a minimum clearance of at least 28"

The custom build tree house and trampoline is a big hit for young children. Play a game of billiards 🎱 on the 7’ pool table. Enjoy quiet walks around the pond and see all kinds of Wildlife. The one and a half story country ranch is located just outside of Lexington and is only 12 miles from Keeneland.

This is a very relaxing country lodge in a very quiet neighborhood in the heart of the Bluegrass. It may not look big from the outside but every bedroom is very spacious. The five bedrooms can comfortably sleep up to 16 people if every bed is being used. (1 King bed, 7 Queen beds)


The cleaning fee is $185 per stay.
For bookings of more than 8 guest there is an additional charge of $20 per guest per stay. (More beds and towels are being used) Example: 10 guests = $40 more

Any new booking has a two part payment plan: First Payment of 25% when booking is made and the second payment due 60 days before check in. If the booking is less than 60 days the full payment is required.
Free cancellation 30 days before check in.

The home sits on 2.5 acres and overlooks a private neighborhood lake with lots of trees and wildlife. The pool is 16’ x 32’ with a 3.5’ shallow end that goes to maximum depth of 4.5 feet so it is perfect for playing games like water volleyball and it is very safe for children.

The solar panel help heat the pool on sunny days. On average, a solar heated pool will be 8-12 degrees warmer than an unheated pool in the same area, allowing for an extended swimming season from April until September. Early and later in the season a removable solar blanket can be used to keep the water warm during cooler nights. The pool has nice blue liner and uses a low level of chlorine.
A volleyball net and all kinds of floats are provided for your relaxing swimming enjoyment.
If you have the time to read some of the reviews you will find that the children really like to climb, slide, and swing on the custom-built tree playhouse. The large upper deck is accessible through a trap door.
A new 14-foot enclosed trampoline will help keep children of all ages entertained.
Adults and children also enjoy playing the corn hole games and basketball games.

The neighborhood is very peaceful and has minimum neighborhood traffic only. Early morning or at sunset are great times to take a stroll around the pond. Located just a few miles from historic downtown Wilmore, home of Asbury University. A short drive will get you to Keeneland, Historic Shaker Village, the Bourbon Trail, the Bluegrass Trail, the Kentucky Horse Park, and the Bluegrass airport (LEX). Downtown Lexington and Rupp Arena is only 25 minutes away.

Some guests may enjoy an educational trip to the Ark Encounter, a one-of-a-kind museum in Petersburg, KY, featuring a full-size replica of Noah's Ark.

This was our family home for 35 years and I live nearby. Should you have any problems, I am more than happy to make sure you will have a wonderful time. If the weather is cooperative, I would be happy to build a small bonfire during your stay.

No wild parties or events allowed. Family reunions and birthday gatherings are not a problem as long it is done in a respectful manner and does not include additional guests spending the night. Please feel free to ask me any questions. I love to see people fun and enjoying themselves at my property.

Please note: The house is located in a wooded area so you may hear coyotes at night, birds chirping, woodpeckers, and owls. You may encounter wild creatures such as, but not limited to: geese, ducks, deer, rabbit, wild turkeys, squirrel, moles, mice, snakes, foxes, turtles, wasps, bees, ticks, flies, mosquitos and other bugs during your stay. I can not guarantee that you will see all above wildlife but if you happen to see bugs/pests/wildlife you are not familiar with, this is beyond my control and no refund will be given.

Keeneland Stay
This property was amazing! From the time we pulled in until we left it exceeded our expectations. The host was extremely communicative. Normally we are on the go the entire time we travel, but the house had so many amenities that we stayed in more than usual. It was clean and INCREDIBLY well stocked. The kids LOVED the pool & hot tub. The littles like the tree house and Playset. We all enjoyed the fire pit and corn hole. We played games and the kids enjoyed the rec room. We would definitely go back!

Holiday family get-together
This house fit all our needs. It was spacious and well-equipped, down to the spices in the cupboard. We enjoyed the quiet country setting and enjoyed exploring the area. Our only regret was that it was winter and we couldn't take advantage of pool and huge yard! P.S. The bath towels were fabulous, better than the nicer hotels where we stay.

Beautiful and spacious home
The home and grounds were clean, neat and very nicely decorated. The kitchen had every appliance and dish/utensil that you could ever need. There was a vast library of DVD's available as well as a couple shelves of adult books were in the master bedroom walk in closets to enjoy. There were plenty of extra towels, pillows and blankets which was really a bonus. There was a nice sitting room/play room on the second floor with a pool table and a foosball table. The outside also had alot to enjoy. The owner had a bonfire set up for us and offered to make more for us. There was a pool (which was closed for the season). There is a nice large covered patio with plenty of seating and a grill. There is a trampoline and a tree house with 2 swings. Plus there were outdoor games and bikes available for us to use. This home also offers close proximity to several cities, including Lexington, for lots to do and good places to eat. Sam, the owner, was also very responsive to questions, very helpful with things to do and places to eat and just generally a pleasure to work with. I would definitely recommend this home/owner to everyone.

House was clean and we loved that we didn’t need anything but our personal items. Well stocked and very comfortable for our party of 10. Close to everything in Lexington. We also enjoyed the neighborhood and the peace and quiet relaxing around the pool. We even saw a few deer along the back of the property! Loved it, we will be back!

Wedding weekend
6 of my family was here for a wedding. The property was as advertised and close to the wedding venue at Bryan's Place. It was very comfortable and quiet. Lots of snacks and water for us when we got there. We were so busy we didn't get to use the pool but will do so next time. I was familiar with the Lexington area so this was great location for the wedding and airport while still close enough to the restaurants in Lexington. Sam the owner, ensured we had everything we needed. Checking in and our was very easy. Would stay here again.

We loved this place!!!
Sam was an excellent host. He stopped in to see if all was well. He had a campfire ready for us to light and was willing to stack another for the following evenings. We have young grandchildren so we could sit on the shaded porch and watch our kids and grandkids swim. 4.5 was the deepest and spacious enough for parents to play water volleyball while little ones swam. We loved the labeling of drawers and everything in between. Enough towels and even soaps were readily available. Highly recommend for families and friends. Thanks Sam!!!

The home was roomy with plenty of space for all of us. We had a family birthday gathering with a few side trips to The Bourbon Trail. The pool was much needed as the temps were greater than 90F every day. Sam (host) had the house and pool area stocked with anything you could have needed. He shared fresh tomatoes and pears which was a great seasonal addition. No hesitation staying here again. Thanks Sam.

Not only was the property 5 stars, Sam was the best host, kind, caring, and someone who truly makes you feel like your home and part of the family. He brought us fresh tomatoes from his garden and fresh from the tree pears along with taking the time to set us up a bonfire . The pool was perfect for the kids with plenty of seating, toys, and floats and he also had bikes and scooters to keep the kids fully entertained. When we come back to the area we will stay here again. We wish we could have stayed longer. We had nothing but the best experience here.

The Perfect House!!!
9 of us went away for a family mini vacation. The house was clean and comfortable and had everything you could possibly need. The kitchen was well equipped to cook every night to feed a large group. The best part was the pool, which was beautiful and had a volleyball net, providing hours of entertainment. There is even music set up to be played outdoors. Sam, the host, had everything covered for us to have the perfect stay. Super nice guy who was easy to reach out to and very accommodating. He even gave us a bottle of wine to help celebrate our daughter's birthday! If you are looking for a relaxing place to get away from it all, this is it! The only downside was that our trip was too short. We will definitely rebook again. Thanks Sam!!!

Terrific Host!
Sam was very quick to respond to all communications. He was very accommodating and even went as far as offering to remove the trampoline from the property due to our concerns. The house was very comfortable for our group. The pool and deck area are perfect for allowing kids to swim and adults to watch them while relaxing in the shade. The younger kids enjoyed playing in the treehouse and we all enjoyed several evenings around the fire. In all our twenty years of family vacationing we have never before found a house so well supplied with soaps, shampoos, paper products, and cleaning supplies. We enjoyed Traveler’s (the neighbor’s cat) visits and the homegrown tomatoes Sam brought by were a special treat. This is a five-star property located in a country setting but close enough to the city to allow easy access to restaurants and fun activities if desired. We would definitely return if ever in the area.

Great house and pool
My family of 7 adults and 4 grandkids (ages 5, 6, 7 and 8) stayed at this wonderful house for a long weekend. All of us simply loved the solar heated pool and were in it most of the day for all three of the days we were there. Sam was the kindest and most generous host I have ever dealt with in all the VRBO houses we have ever rented. He truly wants to make your stay a great one! There’s no need to pack pool towels, floats or toys because he has plenty at the house. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. I could go on and on but just read all the reviews and it has all been said…this is a great place to stay!!

This property had just about everything we were seeking for our 12 family members ranging from 5 to 74. The house was very clean and most stocked home we have stayed in during the last 10 years. The private pool was the number one attraction and was great for games such as volleyball and also relaxing to the outside bluetooth music speaker. We enjoyed the fire pit, tree/club house and swing, and corn hole. Also, the owner Sam made sure we were at home and invited to the neighborhood July 4th fireworks and even setup chairs for us. Sam's communication was superb! Thank you and this is a home that I would definitely stay at again!
