About this property

Spacious family Lodge with solar heated pool, hot tub, fire pit and EV charger.

This family-friendly Stone and Cedar Lodge is great for longer stays.
If you are looking for a relaxing place that can comfortably sleep up to16 guests, you found the perfect place. The lodge has five large bedrooms and three full bathrooms.

Here are some highlights of what guest enjoy the most:
* Clean and private swimming pool
* New 7 seat hot tub
* Awesome covered outdoor area with bistro lights, table and fire pit with comfortable chairs
* Bonfires and roasting marshmallows
* Kids love the tree fort and trampoline
* Well stocked kitchen and gas grill
* Pool 🎱 and Foosball table
* Basketball and Corn hole games
* Peaceful neighborhood with gorgeous sunsets and relaxing walks around the lake

My Stone and Cedar Lodge is perfect for large family gatherings. The dinning room has a large counter height nine foot long table that can easily seat 10 or more guests and the granite island can seat 4 people. I have plenty plates and silverware for everyone.

It currently has a three night minimum stay, and if you wish to book for 7 nights or longer a 10% discount will be applied. If you wish 28 days or longer you will receive a 25% discount. The solar heated pool has been a big draw for guest of all ages and can be enjoyed from April 1st until September 30th.

My very first Vrbo booking started in June 2022 and it has been a great successful adventure. I never expected that so many guests would come and have a wonderful experience at my Stone & Cedar Lodge. Reading their amazing reviews makes it all worth all the time and effort. If you have the time check out some of the over 50 five star reviews. Thank you for all my past guest and I can't wait to welcome you in 2024.

Step-free Entrance: A new concrete ramp has been added near the back door that makes the house wheelchair accessible. All interior doors have a minimum clearance of at least 28"

The custom build tree house and trampoline is a big hit for young children. Play a game of billiards 🎱 on the 7’ pool table. Enjoy quiet walks around the pond and see all kinds of Wildlife. The one and a half story country ranch is located just outside of Lexington and is only 12 miles from Keeneland.

This is a very relaxing country lodge in a very quiet neighborhood in the heart of the Bluegrass. It may not look big from the outside but every bedroom is very spacious. The five bedrooms can comfortably sleep up to 16 people if every bed is being used. (1 King bed, 7 Queen beds)


The cleaning fee is $185 per stay.
For bookings of more than 8 guest there is an additional charge of $20 per guest per stay. (More beds and towels are being used) Example: 10 guests = $40 more

Any new booking has a two part payment plan: First Payment of 25% when booking is made and the second payment due 60 days before check in. If the booking is less than 60 days the full payment is required.
Free cancellation 30 days before check in.

The home sits on 2.5 acres and overlooks a private neighborhood lake with lots of trees and wildlife. The pool is 16’ x 32’ with a 3.5’ shallow end that goes to maximum depth of 4.5 feet so it is perfect for playing games like water volleyball and it is very safe for children.

The solar panel help heat the pool on sunny days. On average, a solar heated pool will be 8-12 degrees warmer than an unheated pool in the same area, allowing for an extended swimming season from April until September. Early and later in the season a removable solar blanket can be used to keep the water warm during cooler nights. The pool has nice blue liner and uses a low level of chlorine.
A volleyball net and all kinds of floats are provided for your relaxing swimming enjoyment.
If you have the time to read some of the reviews you will find that the children really like to climb, slide, and swing on the custom-built tree playhouse. The large upper deck is accessible through a trap door.
A new 14-foot enclosed trampoline will help keep children of all ages entertained.
Adults and children also enjoy playing the corn hole games and basketball games.

The neighborhood is very peaceful and has minimum neighborhood traffic only. Early morning or at sunset are great times to take a stroll around the pond. Located just a few miles from historic downtown Wilmore, home of Asbury University. A short drive will get you to Keeneland, Historic Shaker Village, the Bourbon Trail, the Bluegrass Trail, the Kentucky Horse Park, and the Bluegrass airport (LEX). Downtown Lexington and Rupp Arena is only 25 minutes away.

Some guests may enjoy an educational trip to the Ark Encounter, a one-of-a-kind museum in Petersburg, KY, featuring a full-size replica of Noah's Ark.

This was our family home for 35 years and I live nearby. Should you have any problems, I am more than happy to make sure you will have a wonderful time. If the weather is cooperative, I would be happy to build a small bonfire during your stay.

No wild parties or events allowed. Family reunions and birthday gatherings are not a problem as long it is done in a respectful manner and does not include additional guests spending the night. Please feel free to ask me any questions. I love to see people fun and enjoying themselves at my property.

Please note: The house is located in a wooded area so you may hear coyotes at night, birds chirping, woodpeckers, and owls. You may encounter wild creatures such as, but not limited to: geese, ducks, deer, rabbit, wild turkeys, squirrel, moles, mice, snakes, foxes, turtles, wasps, bees, ticks, flies, mosquitos and other bugs during your stay. I can not guarantee that you will see all above wildlife but if you happen to see bugs/pests/wildlife you are not familiar with, this is beyond my control and no refund will be given.

The house was very clean and up to date with all the furnishings plus more. We really enjoyed our stay with so much to do at the house. Pool, hot tub and fire pit was our favorite. All beds were comfortable and large kitchen with island made it great for all of us to have breakfast and dinner together. Would recommend this house if you needed a get a way or celebration gathering just outside of Lexington. Sam was amazing and was willing to help with anything we needed.

Enjoyed our stay!
We enjoyed our stay at the Stone and Cedar Lodge! Sam is an excellent host! Communication with Sam was very easy and his house is very clean and extremely well stocked and organized. We had 6 adults and kids ranging from 6 months to 7 years old and everyone had plenty of room and tons of things to do on the property. We didn’t have to leave the house all weekend. I would highly recommend this house for anyone looking to stay in the area! We hope to be back!

Great house for family vacation
The house was the perfect accommodation for a week-long vacation for our whole family. There was ample room for each family unit to have their own space as well as gather together for meals, activities and conversation. We were also able to host nearby relatives during the day. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to navigate. We really enjoyed the pool and hot tub, which were clean and well maintained. The owner was very available and happy to make our stay as pleasant as possible.

Can’t wait to go back for a third time!
This was my family’s second year in a row at this beautiful vacation home (7 adults and 4 children). With some great additions our stay was even better than last year’s! Sam has added a huge Blackstone griddle on the outside porch, a big outdoor area with a covered pergola, a big family sized table and a brand new hot tub. Right next to this area is a new fire pit with lots of chairs - we made s’mores one night. The kitchen has anything you could possibly want and they have plenty of beach towels for the whole family so you don’t have to bring yours. They have a big washer and dryer so you can wash and dry them before you leave. I can’t say enough good things about the owner, Sam, and this amazing house!

Perfection
We came to KY for our family vacation in our continuing effort to visit all 50 states. My wife and I along with 9 of our children ranging from 26-8 years of age arrived to a beautiful home, which was comfortable and spotless. The kids immediately spotted the pool and couldn't wait to jump in. We dealt out the rooms and everyone was more than comfortable for the week with plenty of space and privacy. Once we settled in Sam arranged to greet us. He filled us in on all the amenities along with suggestions for local attractions. We enjoyed everything; the pool, hot tub, fire pits, playground, trampoline, game room, Blackstone griddle, and more. The neighborhood was peaceful and enjoyable as well. We enjoyed many walks around the lake with picturesque views of the sunrise, sunset, and wildlife. Everything was perfect! Our host, Sam, thought of everything. The only thing you need to bring is food. He had an abundance of everything you can think of, pool towels, bath towels, pool toys, bikes, kitchen supplies, even an air fryer, and blender. Literally everything, If you forgot something, it's probably there. He even left a basket of various snacks and brought us fresh tomatoes. We stay at VRBOS every year and this is the first time we didn't have to go out to grab something. We truly enjoyed staying at this home while exploring KY. It was a pleasure meeting Sam and we greatly appreciated his hospitality.

Wonderful property that worked very well for our family reunion. Pool was a hit with the whole family. The grand kids all loved the treehouse and trampoline. There is a very nice hot tub that really soothed the older folks muscles too! The house was very comfortable and well stocked with essentials. The kitchen is quite large and boasts a dining table that fit our group of 14 very nicely. The owner lives very close and is ready to help in any way. He will even help you build a fire in either of the 2 fire pits if you need him to!!

Fun Filled Retreat
We booked this property to celebrate our 50th anniversary with our family. There was so much to do here. The weather was perfect so we were outside a lot. Most of our time was spent in the beautiful pool and hot tub. There was also a tree house and trampoline that the kids enjoyed. Our host had prepared the fire pit for us so we enjoyed and evening around the fire. It was a perfect 4 days! The host lived close and was very helpful. There was seating for everyone inside and outside. Our daughter loved the plethora of towels available. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, utensils and cookware. Our son-in-law was delighted to be the first to use the EV charging station and it worked very well. I think our 5 year old granddaughter summed it up when she asked her mother, "When we move can we live in this house?!"

This house fit all our needs. It was spacious and well-equipped, down to the spices in the cupboard. We enjoyed the quiet country setting and enjoyed exploring the area.

About the host

Hosted by Sam DeLong

Host profile image
Hello I'm Sam.
I'm a retired high school and college teacher. During my more than 30 years as a Shop, Drafting and Graphic Arts teacher, I tried to make learning challenging and fun by using a hands-on approach in all subjects. After retiring I also lectured on cruise ships which allowed me to see a lot of the world.

I was born and raised in Germany, attended German schools and traveled throughout Europe. My wife Carol and I have been married for 44 years. We have two children and one (very spoiled) grandson.

Why they chose this property

The Stone & Cedar Lodge was our primary home for over 35 year. Back in 1985 I designed the home and then served as the general contractor.
The house has a nice flow with a vaulted great room and a sun loft. All of the main large bedrooms have a walk-in closet.
About 2 years ago I had the chance to build a new house in the same neighborhood, which we recently moved in.
For the past months I have painted the house and set it up as a furnished short/long term rental. It was a big job and but now the lodge is finally ready for you to make some great memories.

What makes this property unique

Our Stone & Cedar Lodge is relaxing country home in a very quiet neighborhood in Jessamine county. Each building lot is 2.5 acres so there is plenty of space between each house. Sitting on the front porch, you will see a private lake with many trees and wildlife. The neighborhood is very peaceful - My favorite time to take a stroll is early morning or at sunset.
The pool is 16' by 32' and is only 4.5' deep - Please no diving. Great for swimming laps and playing games.
I want to make sure you will have a wonderful time and, if you have any suggestion how I can improve, I would love to hear from you. If the weather cooperates, I would like to build a nice bonfire during your stay.
