We just had a fantastic two night stay at Ashford Acres. What a wonderful spot in Central KY. The main house and Garden Suite are both beautiful! The management and staff have paid so much attention to the small details that make the trip special. We enjoyed one dinner and two breakfasts there. The dinner was good but the breakfasts are the real standout. Do NOT miss them. All the staff we encountered were so friendly and helpful. It's not surprising you see the staff complimented on most reviews.

We enjoyed several walks around the property. It was especially peaceful down by the pond. The birds have the place to themselves and we saw nesting geese, a huuuge hawk, a great blue heron, tree swallows, red-wing blackbirds and more.
We will definitely be back!

Colin and I were married at Ashford Acres in a tiny, family ceremony in July 2020.

While some brides know exactly what they’ll want years before they get engaged, I had absolutely no vision for my day - even after being engaged for a year! Colin and I live in Nebraska, but we needed to accommodate family members from lots of Midwest and East Coast states. My mom stumbled upon Ashford Acres, which looked beautiful, affordable and conveniently located!

The entire experience absolutely exceeded our expectations. The staff was so friendly, organized, and patient with my bridal anxiety! From the moment we arrived, we felt at home, enjoyed fantastic food, and loved exploring the incredible area. All of our guests who stayed on property had wonderful feedback about their visit, as well.

The ceremony itself was a dream come true, and I felt like I was able to relax and enjoy my day, because I knew the team was on top of everything that needed to fall in place. We worked almost exclusively with vendors that the AAI staff recommended and had a great experience with all of them, too.

If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing! We’ll certainly be back to Ashford Acres in the coming years to reminisce on the most special day.

P.S. We had a dessert bar with almost all of the different treats that AAI had to offer and I loved every last one! Our leftovers didn’t last very long…

My husband and I got married on September 27th, 2020 at Ashford Acres. We had a Sunday wedding because that day was actually our 5 year dating anniversary! We ended up reserving the Magnolia Suite for the night before and the night after for the girls to get ready in and then let our best man and his wife stay there the night after, and then we got the Oak Suite for the boys to get ready in and thats where my husband and I stayed for our wedding night.

We first booked Ashford Acres during the summer of 2019. I fell in love with how beautiful the grounds are and how it felt like I was out in the country but with all the ease of being so close to town. I could see us taking wedding photos on the beautiful staircases and the balcony over the front porch. After they added the wedding barn, I knew it was perfect for our reception.

Shortly after booking them for our wedding, we hired Annastasia to be our planner. I literally cannot say enough wonderful things about Annastasia. She was absolutely fantastic, as a planner, the inn manager, and as a person. Ive never been to a wedding that wasn't hastily thrown together in someone's back yard, so I had no idea what I even needed to do to have my perfect princess moment, I just knew thats what I wanted. Annastasia handled everything and had plenty of opinions and advice to give me, including recommending the most perfect hair and makeup artists, a wonderful DJ, and the most talented florist! I have anxiety, so being able to trust in someone so experienced (and not have to make phone calls!) was so relieving!

On our actual wedding, myself and literally everyone who knew me, expected me to be a complete anxious mess. But I wasn't, and I know its completely thanks to Annastasia and everyone at Ashford Acres! The day went by perfectly and it was one of the best days of my life!

When we got to our room after the wedding, I was exhausted and so hungry! But Ashford Acres was prepared. We had snacks and drinks available, and in our room they had brought up leftovers from the wedding and also some AMAZING chocolate covered pineapple. I didnt even know that was a THING. The shower was PHENOMENAL. I'm really critical of showers but the water pressure, the spaciousness, the heat, it was all wonderful! My only complaint is that I definitely struggled figuring out how to work it but once I did, I was in heaven! And then we got ROBES? I've never felt so fancy in my life. And then the sheets in that bed??? Amazing. You're probably thinking "wow sheets can't be that good". They are. I promise. I slept like a baby and then we woke up, it was time for our breakfast! My husband had the chicken and waffles, even though we literally served them at our wedding the night before. They're that good. He also had eggs and fried potatoes. The potatoes were so good. The portion sizes were so large that I was able to try some! I had Eggs Benedict, and unfortunately the Hollandaise sauce did break but it was still really tasty!

I could not recommend Ashford Acres enough! Every part of the wedding experience with them is worth it.

There aren’t enough kind words that I can express for this venue and every staff member working there! I got engaged in November 2019 and immediately started searching venues. As soon as I stepped onto the property at Ashford Acres I felt like it was exactly what I was looking for on my wedding day! From the history of the home built in the 1850’s, the beauty and charm of each room throughout the house....the gorgeous modern white barn.....the streaming lights around the property....the tucked away Garden Suite for couples to have a romantic stay on wedding night and anniversaries for years to come.....everything was absolutely perfect! Building up to wedding day was not at all as stressful as I thought it may be. Ashford Acres has incredible staff to help you along the way and always answer questions in a very timely manner! Hope was our wedding coordinator and she is amazing! She is so kind, patient, organized, honest and thoughtful....not sure what I would of done without her or the other ladies! They sincerely feel like friends and family at Ashford Acres. 10.04.2020 was our wedding day and it was absolutely perfect! I feel so blessed to have been married at the most beautiful venue with the BEST of everything! The food is AMAZING, service is fabulous, the atmosphere is one of a kind, every square inch of the property is photo ready and worthy! I wish we could do our wedding all over again, and again, and again! Forever grateful for Ashford Acres....and looking forward to returning with my husband for future anniversaries and all the fun events they host seasonally!! We love you Ashford Acres & Staff, Shelby Bayer

Cannot say enough good things about Ashford Acres! My husband and I decided that we wanted to take advantage of the elopement package, and I’m so glad we did. It was the best day of our lives. We were treated like royalty! The food, and drinks were 5 star, but the staff became family. Also, we’ve never stayed anywhere that was that clean. I mean absolutely SPOTLESS! We recently traveled and stayed at a Waldorf and it didn’t come close to ashford acres. The entire weekend was so laid back, and we got everything we wanted, plus! ❤️ If you’re looking to get married, and want a true southern wedding, look no further, Ashford acres is the place. Were giving ashford acres 5 stars, but honestly that’s just not enough. They are like family to us. We love all of the staff, and it’s always going to be a special place to us. It’s the prettiest venue we’ve ever been to.

I have always had a dream that I would be getting married on a beach. That was the plan, until COVID hit and my soon to be husband and I had to think of changing our wedding and location less than two months before saying "I do". Knowing that we wouldn't have any luck with such short notice, I tried reaching out to Ashford Acres, and they contacted me within no time telling me that the date I wanted was available. My mom and I went to the venue to talk things over, we were very pleased and decided to book with them. And it couldn't of been more perfect. They took all of our ideas and made them come to life. Thankfully, with having the rehearsal dinner there on Thursday, throughout the weekend we got to act like it was ours while using pretty much every bit of this beautiful location; for the dinner, having our ceremony on the front porch, to having our reception in the event barn, and getting to stay the night before the wedding in Magnolia with my bridemaids and ending our wedding night in the Garden Suite, I am so thankful for this experince. The staff was wonderful and took great care of us and made sure everything was very clean. I never pictured myself getting married no place other than the beach, but one thing for certain, I am glad it worked out the way it did because I got to get married in my hometown that created beautiful pictures for a lifetime. Ashford Acres, I truly can't thank you all enough for all you all did, especially on such short notice. No doubt about it, I would do it all over again and not change a thing.

Ashford Acres Inn is beautiful in every way!! We have stayed there quite a few times and every single time has been consistent: SO GOOD we keep coming back! Everyone that I have encountered at the Inn has been very friendly, attentive, and makes me feel at home for the entirety of our stay--customer service is huge for me and theirs is always excellent. The suites are amazing, and even though I don't like sleeping in any other bed but my own, these beds are sooo comfy and I'm always guaranteed a good night of sleep! While I enjoy the comfort of the suites, I love being outside--the event barn veranda is a favorite spot of mine, looking out onto the land at any point in the day is beautiful, rain or shine. The dinner we ordered was delicious (as always), I had the salmon with asparagus and mashed potatoes with a slice of chocolate cake for dessert--YUM!! Great food, great people, great service! 1000/10 would recommend staying here, you won't regret it!!!

I am not really sure I can put into words my love for Ashford Acres. From the moment I stepped on the property for the first time I knew it was “the one”. This charming 1858 estate is absolutely breathtaking from every angle. I mean EVERY angle! In the planning stage, Annastasia the Inn Manager, went above and beyond to make sure every detail I envisioned came to life. She made all my unique wedding dreams come true. She is truly a brides lifeline. Every bride NEEDS, I repeat every bride NEEDS an Annastasia! Now our “ Wedding Weekend” was finally here! It was truly a weekend! We had the property all to ourselves Friday afternoon to Sunday Morning. Friday afternoon our bridal party & close family arrived! We were all able to spend the night in preparation for the main event! The rooms are beautiful, luxurious and COMFORTABLE! The morning of the big day, my MOH and myself waked the property with bathrobes and a cup of coffee. Talk about RELAXING!Then we had a gourmet family style breakfast in the dining room. Then all the girls started to dress in the Oak Suite! My favorite room! Fast forward to our “Front Porch” Ceremony. It was everything I envisioned and more. Quaint, historic, charming and full of my 50 favorite people. The only way I can describe it was feeling so full of love. Cocktail hour was at the shaded house veranda. Our guests got to enjoy ham and cheese silders, chicken and waffles and of course pigs in a blanket! Oh and I forgot a full bar and specialty drinks! Dinner was a formal dinner inside the Inn with all of our guests. The Menu for the evening included yeast rolls with honey butter, a house salad, and the main course being filet mignon, mashed potatoes, mac &cheese, and green beans! It was to die for! Then we moved the party to the barn! The barn is simple & classic! It’s the perfect place to dance the night away under the large chandelier and market lights! Our dance floor was surrounded by wood farmhouse tables with lit candles, florals and cheese cloth. The candles and market lights set the mood for a formal evening reception. I was able to customize our table layout to make our small wedding in a large barn feel intimate. We truly danced the night away with the people who matter most to us. After the reception, my now HUSBAND and bridal party relaxed under the twinkling lights by the garden suite with a fire pit. It was filled will many memories and laughs I won’t ever forget. Then we took to our rooms for the night after a long beautiful day. In reality that day wasn’t long enough. Sunday morning we all had breakfast and then said our goodbyes. I’m not lying when I say I cried the whole way home. It was truly the best weekend of my life and it wouldn’t have been possible without the Anastasia and all of the wonderful accommodating staff. I am so happy I get to return to such a special place for future anniversary’s to reminisce on the best day of my life. Thank you Ashford Acres for making the wedding I waited 11 years for truly magical. I love you all. Sincerely, Mrs. Yelton

Great place, so clean. Staff is so friendly. We had a beautiful day/night in the Garden Suite. HIGHLY recommend. The picnic basket offering was delicious and well-made. The room was comfy, clean, and welcoming. The surrounding Kentucky landscape was breathtaking. If you're looking for a quick, affordable vacation...THIS is the place.

While visiting family, I decided to have a night out with my sister. Since we were having family pictures done, Ashford was the perfect spot to do both. Everything was perfect from booking the room to breakfast in bed. They did everything possible to maintain social distancing and accommodated our requests with ease. We were greeted with 2 cupcakes and chocolates, bed was incredibly comfortable, shower was perfection and dinner was amazing! I will definitely be returning!

As a wedding photographer, I've seen hundreds of venues around Kentucky and it was an absolute delight to get to photograph at Ashford Acres Inn! The staff was incredibly helpful and kind. The hardest part of my day was narrowing down where I wanted to photograph because there were so many amazing options. I can't wait to get back!

Where do I begin, when reviewing the place and people that made my picture perfect wedding day possible?!? After seeing a stunning picture of the event barn online, I was immediately in love with Ashford Acres Inn. Living 6 hours away made me initially question if this venue would be worth the travel, however after my first visit I knew this was the place I wanted to get married! Even in the winter with no leaves on the trees, it was gorgeous!

After booking the venue, the Ashford Acres Inn staff was always more than happy to answer my manyyyyyy emails of questions, set up zoom meetings, give me vendor referrals, arrange face to face meetings and implement COVID-19 precautions so that everything was ready for the wedding day! Annastasia was my day of coordinator and was sooo sooo amazing! She truly was able to understand my vision for the day and make it happen. She made sure tables were decorated, people were where they needed to be, the schedule of the day was running smoothly, and that the everything that day was as perfect as could be!

When I booked my wedding at Ashford Acres Inn, I knew it was beautiful, but I didn’t realize just how special having my wedding there was until I did it! Walking out to my ceremony in front of the event barn, I felt like I could see each family member and friend attending and that it was such an intimate personal place to be married. I also loved that everyone could just stay on the property for the cocktail hour and reception, and not have to worry about driving to a second location. People had so much fun mingling outside before heading into the event barn for the reception. The event barn turned out to be even more perfect than I could have ever imagined for my reception. With all of the doors open, the breeze blowing in, and every single view outside looking like a picture on a postcard, it was amazing. All of this paired with the gorgeous rooms at the inn, so many personal touches from the staff and a brunch with our immediate families the following morning, where we reminisced on the wedding, made for the most special experience anyone could ever ask for! I am so grateful to the entire Ashford Acres staff for making my wedding day so wonderful and would recommend this venue to anyone!!!

The staff at Ashford Acres Inn is tremendous! They were so helpful and flexible during the ups and downs of the pandemonium the last several months. They had their finger on the pulse of Kentucky which tremendously helped us plan a wedding two states away. They let us know new guidelines as they were developed. The grounds were immaculate! The food at both the rehearsal dinner and the reception was amazing! The staff was extremely professional, adjusting on the fly as necessary. Annastasia, Hope and Ally are the best!

BEST DAY EVER. I honestly cannot recommend Ashford Acres enough to anybody looking for a wedding venue, bed-and-breakfast, or just to visit. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure your day goes perfectly! As a very picky person, I found everything I was looking for and more at Ashford. It truly was the best place to get married.
