Excellent
We held a family reunion for 3 days at GlenLary in August. Everyone from 9 to 90 years old had a wonderful time. We made a few short trips around the area but found the estate an excellent venue for us to relax, renew family ties and generally just have a good time. The road through the farm is great for walking or jogging, the pool worked well for kids and adults behaving as kids and the kitchens are well equipped for large family meals. We would love to return in the future and highly recommend GlenLary to others.

We had a fabulous stay at Glen Lary ! ! !
We had three families - 6 "parents" and 6 adult children (ages 21-27). The estate was absolutely perfect for our group! The kids stayed in the incredible "cabin" and we stayed in the main house. You feel the graciousness of southern living along with the beautifully appointed accommodations. The listing description was accurate but its hard to describe Glen Lary until you experience it! The estate was beautifully maintained. We have already recommended it to friends and other family members. We did one Bourbon tasting at Woodford Reserve and enjoyed it. Our only regret was we didn't book Glen Lary for a longer stay!

GlenLary was perfect!
Me and my high school cross country team - from some forty years ago - get together once a year for a reunion and a run. This year we chose The Bourbon Chase, a two hundred mile relay from Louisville to Lexington. We needed a place to stay before and after the run and came across GlenLary on the VRBO website. GlenLary was perfect! We're a group of twenty, so we needed a big place. Driving down the long driveway and up to the estate feels like you're in a movie. That sensation continues as you step inside the beautifully appointed and meticulously maintained main house. The cabin behind the main house is no less impressive. You'll want to extend your stay so you can try out all the different and luxurious bedrooms in both! The kitchens are very well equipped and the living areas really make you feel at home. We really enjoyed the outdoor space. The pool and grill were put to good use. Across the driveway and in the pasture are some beautiful horses. Paul, the caretaker at the estate, is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to talk to. Elizabeth, the owner, was very responsive and helpful in making this one of best places we've stayed. If we are ever back in Lexington, we will be sure to stay at GlenLary!

Great place to get away with the family
We stayed in the cabin and loved the layout. The view off the deck was gorgeous and was my favorite place to be. Lots of thought went into the layout as it was very functional and allowed for great family gatherings in the kitchen/great room area but also allowed my teenage daughters the ability to find space to themselves when they needed it. We were attending a Young Rider event that my oldest participated in and instead of roughing it at the barn and a hotel room, we had a luxurious and comfortable retreat to hang out in when horse and daughter weren't busy competing. Lounging by the pool, grilling some meals in the outdoor kitchen, and reading a book surrounded by natures beauty made this trip one to remember. The property has the feel of being in the country, but restaraunts and shopping are within a 20 minute drive allowing for a great variety in entertainment verses relaxation. Elizabeth, one of the members of the family that owns and runs the property, was very responsive and flexible to our needs even though she was on vacation with her own family at the time. Philip, who cares for the horses and watches over the property, was a pleasure to work with and talk to when anything came up that required his assistance. Whenever, I am in Lexington I will definitely try to stay at GlenLary again.

Top Score for the Rolex
The GlenLary was the perfect accommodations for our group of equestrian riders to stay while attending the Rolex. The setting eludes the feel of an old historic plantation surrounded by bluegrass pastures. However, the homes have been updated with all the modern conveniences and the décor is tastefully done throughout. The gathering areas in both houses are especially charming, warm and cozy. The property is well maintained and clean both inside and out. The hospitality of the owners and their staff is top notch. Our only problem was that everyone loved the estate so much that they didn't want to leave to attend our scheduled events at the Horse Park! We want to come back and stay longer next time.

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth

Host profile image
Both homes were built by the owners families and have been purchased back from current owners to remain in the family for the rest of time. There is so much history in both properties and we would be honored to share the entire story with you over a glass of wine.

Why they chose this property

When given the chance to visit Kentucky, there is NO other spot to spend your time. The GlenLary estate IS Kentucky. From the historic antebellum home, to the 84 acres of rolling bluegrass and not to mention the Thoroughbred horses grazing in the pastures.
