Inn Details
The Blue Heron is Victorian style bed and breakfast and retreat center located in rural Kentucky on a 30 acre goat farm. Business and church groups are welcome for day retreats and meetings. Individuals and small groups are invited to enjoy the bed and breakfast overnight. Large quest rooms all have private baths -one with whirlpool. One large suite includes kitchen and sitting area and is located seperate from the main house. Fireplaces on the first floor add extra warmth on a wintery day. A full homecooked breakfast is provided to overnight guests. In spring,the meadows and hillsides are full of wildlife and beautiful wildflowers. Great blue heron and red-tailed hawks soar over the farm. The beautiful surrondings encourage hikes to the meadow or leisurely walks to the waterfall. Library, sunroom and living room are all available to guests. Meeting rooms can accomodate groups up to 40. This remote quiet setting is also great for personal retreats or a weekend away.

Thanks so much for everything Connie

Our group enjoyed the hospitality of the Inn all one Saturday. Our hostesses were delightful, hand preparing both breakfast and lunch. The home is fairly new, but constructed with used period materials, and is completed with antiques of all kinds: furnishings, books, memorabilia and artwork. You will not be disappointed to come and stay. You can walk paths to cascade waterfalls, visit the goats and Great Pyrenees dogs. You will eat healthy and delicious food and enjoy the fresh country air. Birds are abundant! We can't wait to schedule another visit.
Great birthday getaway
