What a lovely and memorable stay at a unique Inn at Nicura Ranch in Berea, KY. The horses were certainly the highlight of our stay. My husband and I instantly felt awe in their beautiful, stately presence. Each one having a signature personality. Feeding them carrots, apples and peppermints was exciting and thrilling for us. If you LOVE horses, mischievous goats, fresh eggs and cream, scrumptious muffins and delicious ice cream ALL while being in a clean, well-kept, classy accomodation such as the Lavender Suite with a French Farmhouse ambiance then Nicura Ranch is a MUST visit. We will be back. Thank you for sharing your lovely ranch and being gracious hosts.

We stayed here while visiting horse country, and wanted a horse themed getaway. This did not disappoint! We could not believe how much we were able to interact with the horses. They are retired race horses, adopted after injuries, and the love and care these horses are receiving is incredible. One of the horses is the great granddaughter of Secretariat, and another the grandson of Seattle Slew (he stole my heart). The owners are incredibly kind. We enjoyed talking to them, especially during horse grooming (they let you groom the horses if you want…and I definitely recommend doing it!).
In addition to the horses, we also loved watching the goats and getting lots of doggy snuggles from the very sweet pups. The dog Champ even went on walks with us.
The daily muffins were delicious…each one goes with a horse (so creative). I DEFINETELY recommend getting the homemade ice cream, it’s the best I’ve ever had.

What an absolute gem! After the noise and crowds of Nashville and Louisville, this was the perfect stop on our road trip. The location is amazing and tranquil (but near to the town of Berea), the accommodation is comfortable, homely and authentic. We played pool upstairs in the barn, made use of the theatre room and very much enjoyed the daily muffins.

The owners, Nick and Laura were lovely, and being surrounded by animals was sublime. Through our road trip, we stayed in 5 star hotels, but this was the standout stay for us. Can't recommend highly enough. I hope to go back again one day.
