Railway House in Charming Downtown Midway, KY near Bourbon Trail/Keeneland
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.
