About this house rental

Nestled in Midway, this lovely house for $140 per night is a great option for your next trip. This unique, early 1800’s historic house sits 50 FEET from the railroad. The train blows by 3x during the day, tooting & whistling away & once or twice at night. It is the second oldest residence built in Midway. The plot of land where the house sits was one of the initial purchases from the railroad company which was the first town in KY to build a Railroad Town. Guests will enjoy their private, bright & cozy upstairs with 2 nicely sized bedrooms with plenty of closet space. The bathroom in between the bedrooms & breakfast nook is very small, but clean & efficient. There is a mini fridge, coffee & tea station. Ice bucket @ 5:00 pm each night is available upon request. Entrance & exit is through the front door & through the one-room art gallery which is closed off from the rest of the house. 9 ORIGINAL VERY STEEP & NARROW STAIRS leads to the cheery upstairs accommodations. STAIRS ARE NOT FOR PEOPLE WITH MOBILITY ISSUES. BIG, HEAVY SUITCASES ALSO WILL POSE A PROBLEM IF YOU ARE NOT UP FOR WRANGLING THEM UP THE 9 STAIR CLIMB. Please see pictures :) Ample off street parking is available. If you are bicycle-touring/racing, garage arrangements in back can be be made for bicycles. Off street horse trailer parking can also be arranged. Ellen, the host, lives in the back part of the house which is closed off from the art gallery room & upstairs. The only contact would be if Ellen is in the gallery with customers during the day. Since the house is on the residential side of Main St. (aka Railroad St.) people do not know really know the gallery is there. It is more of an appointment-based gallery which Ellen prefers for much needed private time in the studio (which is also closed off). She can be reached anytime if needed on her cell phone preferably by text during your stay. Guests really enjoy walking to the restaurants & shops which are only half a block away.

A girlfriend and I had an event in Frankfort, just 15 miles away, and wanted a more interesting experience than can be found in a hotel. We both really enjoyed this home, full of the owner/artist’s colorful, whimsical art. Each of us had a spacious bedroom of antique furniture, with a small well equipped bathroom, and a sitting area with window, coffee, tea and small refrigerator off of the landing between us. The gardens were beautiful, and Ellen was a great host. The steps are steep but we had no problems climbing them, and the rope handrail felt authentic. We would definitely stay here again. We also enjoyed the eclectic little shops and restaurants in downtown Midway, within easy walking distance.

Beautiful home, perfectly and accurately described. Ellen was a great host. Her art is inspirational. The small town of Midway was a breath of fresh air from the city. Everyone we encountered was gracious and polite. We can't wait to visit again.

As two working moms, we were excited to have a weekend where our calendars aligned. This cute little house was the perfect space and location. In the morning we were able to walk and grab a cup of coffee before heading out to a few distilleries. In the evenings, we took advantage if the nearby restaurants. The space was clean and there were cute touches throughout. As stated in the description, the stairs up are narrow and steep. The shower is also very small, functional and clean, but small. If you sleep late, you will want to know there are a couple trains that go by “early”(after 7 am). The tracks are just on the other side of the street close to the front of the house. As an early riser, this wasn’t a problem for me. Overall, it was prefect for two moms needing a couple of nights away. I would definitely stay here again.
