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!

What a fabulous experience. We are 3 generations traveling together and the hosts of this amazing Inn were welcoming and attentive to all our needs. What a memorable stay we had! The home is immaculate, relaxing. and perfectly appointed. We also appreciated the modern bathrooms and incredibly comfy beds. Great TV selections for the teens as well. The hosts are also very covid conscientious and careful. We were traveling with high risk individuals and felt at ease at the Inn. Treats, beverages, and breakfast were perfect - great selection for all palates. I would give them 10 stars if I could. Overall perfect 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!
