Front entrance in spring. A new metal roof was installed in October of 2018.

The table and chairs on the gravel area where a dead tree used to be.

View from the front porch. Farm equipment does come by this time of year!

The umbrella does not tilt any more or light up. A wind storm broke those parts.

About this property

Built originally in the 40s by my father-in-law for his new bride, this home raised my husband and his four siblings. The property has been owned by this family since the 1880s. It was a general farm, then a dedicated dairy farm until the early 1990s. When the dairy operation sold out, we bought the home place and some surrounding acreage. My daughter and her husband now live down near the barns and manage it as an equine facility. We live a few miles away. The Redhouse is between Highways 60 and 286, easily gotten to from highway 2532(County Line Rd), which connects the two state highways. The house has a Ring camera at the front door now. No cameras inside.

Country Stay

My childhood friend and I met halfway to stay at the red farmhouse in the country! We both grew up on farms in iowa and we couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable, peaceful stay! We had everything we needed and enjoyed quiet walks looking at the farmland and watching the horses nearby. Would highly recommend. Host was very easy to have contact with and helped with directions which was appreciated.

Redhouse

The house was very clean and cozy and my husband really enjoyed staying here for the month! It was such a nice neighborhood. My children stayed a couple of nights and loved watching the beautiful horses. The owner was super friendly and prompt to respond to messages as well. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this house to friends and family!

Lovely property

Our group was in the area to visit family who live in Paducah. We only needed sleeping capacity, our meals and activities were away from the property, so we did not spend much time there. But it was lovely, quiet, peaceful, neat, clean. Worked well for our group of 3. Comfy beds!

Quaint red home near horse farm is exactly as the description in the post describes the property in an excellent manner. My children enjoyed having separate rooms and we were able to cook a full dinner and breakfast both days. If we ever go back we will surely keep this rental in mind.

Our third stay…

This was our third time booking this home on VRBO. We always enjoy our stay here, and this time was no different. It’s a very cozy home to stay in. We never spend much time here throughout the day since we always come up from Texas to visit family here locally, however we are here overnights. The beds are very comfortable, and it’s very spacious and quiet. They are pet friendly and since we never travel without our dogs, it makes it very nice to book here. We plan to return again next Spring.

A Great Getaway

This was a tranquil place to stay on a quiet country road. The surroundings were beautiful. We sad in the front and watched the horses play across the road. Definitely the highlight of our vacation.

The best place we ever stayed

Everything here was above and beyond nicer than home. Such a beautiful property and wonderful host. We loved it here! We enjoyed making breakfast in the kitchen which had everything we could need and Kiwi our pup loved the yard. Seriously would give this place 6 stars if I could. The house is beautiful and well cared for and full of cool historical details & decors. Thanks again for having us!

Everything We Needed

This house was everything we needed. Me and three buddies were in town for the weekend and needed a place to rest our heads at night and also prepare a couple meals. The hosue was clean and comfortable and the house had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Definitely will be back next time we're around.

Very nice

House was bigger than I thought it would be, clean with lots of little amenities. Loved having the space outside to play with our dogs. Very quiet area. The only hard thing was finding it in the dark, but we got there on a second pass.

Kevil Home Relaxation

This property was perfect for our visit to Paducah and surrounding area- My husband (Illinois)and my sister in laws( one from California & one from Arizona)visited this area frequently when growing up- the little house was conveniently located but allowed them to be able to comfortable visit- the host provided excellent directions and communication was great! Anything you could have needed was readily available- would recommend highly and most certainly would stay again Pam
