Step into a piece of Kentucky history with a stay at the Basye House, the last known Italianate Villa in the state.
Nestled in the heart of Lexington's renowned Horse Country, this meticulously renovated mansion blends old-world elegance with modern comfort, offering an unforgettable retreat for families, friends, or groups seeking a unique and luxurious getaway.
The house has been totally renovated within the last year and nearly everything is brand new! Protected by a secure fence completely around the house and a gated driveway, it offers ultimate privacy and peace of mind.
Enjoy easy access to local events and attractions: we are located just 2 minutes from the Kentucky Horse Park, 10 minutes from Rupp Arena and Kroger Stadium, 12 minutes from Keeneland, and 30 minutes from the Ark Encounter.
Meticulously renovated to offer high-end comfort while preserving all of its historic charm.

“We had a wonderful stay! The home was clean, beautiful, and absolutely perfect for our needs. Everything was comfortable and well cared for, and it truly felt like a home away from home. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property!”
