Lexington, Kentucky

Outdoors

Wide Open Spaces


When Daniel Boone arrived in Kentucky via the Cumberland Gap, he famously remarked “Heaven must be a Kentucky kind of place.” Surrounded on all sides by rolling hills of Bluegrass, miles of fence-lined horse farms, and rivers that carve through the land, it doesn’t get much more heavenly than Lexington. Within a short drive, you can see where the Bluegrass kisses the Appalachian Mountains. You can chase waterfalls. You can hike into absolute seclusion. And you can explore the Red River Gorge, one of the best-kept geological wonders in America.

There’s so much to see and do here. In Lexington, we love our bourbon and our horses, but it’s a deep connection to the land that makes this place truly special. And we can’t wait to share our little slice of heaven with you.
