Guests keep coming back

Guests return year after year, with many calling this one of the most peaceful stays they've had
There is no better way to experience Kentucky than horseback riding the rolling hills of the Bluegrass. Big Red Stables is happy to offer the Bunkhouse to visitors who want to ride horses, travel to nearby bourbon distilleries, go to the races or events at the Kentucky Horse Park, or just get away from it all on a third generation family farm. Horseback riding by appointment only as arranged with your hosts.

The space
The Bunkhouse was the home of Judy Burks, my mother and the founder of Big Red Stables, more than 30 years ago. My husband, Drew, and I are keeping mom's legacy alive by opening her house to overnight guests, in particular to those interested in staying on a farm and horseback riding while visiting Kentucky.

Guest access
The Bunkhouse is yours for the duration of your stay.

Other things to note

Lives in Harrodsburg, Kentucky
Eternity expands to accept the gift of love - invisible, alert and aware. The challenge is to fill the empty space with love. It's an honor to share my childhood home, our horses, and our third generation family farm with the Airbnb community.
