Pamela and Richard were amazing hosts! My husband and I were in town for the races at Keeneland and took time to visit distilleries and horse farms too. We stayed in bedroom 3 and it was lovely and spacious! The breakfasts were wonderful and the snacks in the afternoon were a wonderful treat. We highly recommend staying at Charred Oak Inn!

A very warm, welcoming establishment. The hosts were so sweet and attentive. We celebrated my husband’s 50th birthday and they had a banner in our room and a card for him at breakfast!! The food was fantastic! Thank you Richard and Pamela for a wonderful stay.

My (now) fiancé and I stayed here for one night and were blown away by the service and kindness we received from Richard and Pamela. They put so much thought into “the little things” that make your stay extra special. I’m in Lexington a lot and I would venture to say this is one of the best places to stay in the area. Go visit!
