A Thanksgiving to Remember My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Goose Hill Downs. We were looking for a peaceful and relaxing place to spend Thanksgiving, and we definitely found it. It is located on a quiet country road. Our rooms were spacious and comfortable each with a private bathroom. The hosts were wonderful. They were so kind and welcoming, and they made us feel right at home. They also served amazing breakfasts each morning - true farm to table fare! Goose Hill Downs was the perfect place to spend Thanksgiving, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway. (And getting to feed Maybelle, the resident cow, each day was a fun treat 😊)

Owners Rene' and Andy have a wonderful little farm with a bed and breakfast less than 5 minutes from Berea, KY but you would think you were farther out in the country. What a wonderful experience here. Here for a motorcycle trip and the location was so convenient for some great riding in the area. From the main road, the driveway starts and ends with concrete with a gravel stretch of about 50 yards up a hill and curve. This leads to the main house with the bed and breakfast on the lower level. The property also has a green house and garden. A gazebo is available just off the patio area for a peaceful evening retreat. The bed and breakfast is located on the ground level of the main house. There is a long covered patio with plenty of seating areas. Sit there for awhile and you might see some wildlife as I did (and the morning rooster sounds!). The room: Perfect. Spotless. Clean. Antique furniture. Comfortable memory foam mattress. The breakfast: Rene' made a wonderful country breakfast with eggs, potatoes, sausage, fresh tomato with mozzarella, etc. The verdict: Yes! It was a pleasure to talk to Andy and Rene' about the property, the farm, gardening, and area motorcycle riding areas.

The owners, Renee and Andy, are very knowledgeable of the area and the many motorcycle routes in the area. The beds were super comfortable and the breakfast was outstanding!! A hottub to relax in after long rides and busy days. Very clean, out in the country home away from home setting.

My wife and I loved our stay here! We were participating in a conference at Berea College, and Goose Hill Downs was a lovely spot to decompress. The bedrooms are spacious, the breakfasts are delicious, and the surroundings were wild and wonderful. Various free-range chickens and Mabel the cow greeted us each time that arrived and departed. Coming from the metroplex of Toronto, this place felt just magical!

Truly an awesome, amazing experience! The owner, Rene’, was an amazingly friendly person, not to mention an astounding cook. She greeted us as we arrived and showed us to our room. She made small talk and explained the general layout of the beautiful farm the B&B was located on, and about the house itself. She made it clear from the start that she was there to make us comfortable and handle any issues we might have, which was comforting. She even took my wife and our son on a trip to feed the animals and to see the barn, which he had wanted to do. We were in the “Blue” room which was very nicely, but efficiently decorated and in the lower level of the home. The room had a private bath and king size bed. She gave us several options for our little one’s sleeping arraignments, and after we left for the evenings events came in and set up his little cot, which was far nicer than any roll away bed. She asked up what time we wanted our breakfast and offered to serve us in the lower level’s common area. After the events that night we returned and the house was gorgeous at night. Sitting on top of a ridge, and well lit, it was welcoming even though we appeared to be the only ones awake. We entered through the private entrance to the lower level and headed to bed for the night. The only downside we ran into was the temperature of the room, as we like to sleep like penguins. While I am sure Rene’ would have gladly adjusted it to suit us had we made her aware, it was easily placated by opening a screened window and enjoying the cool fresh fall air. The next morning as we were showering and preparing for the day I got a text from Rene’ that said our breakfast was placed and ready. I was expecting slightly more than a continental breakfast, but surprised to find a well decorated place setting with country style ham, fresh chopped pineapple, orange juice, and the best scrambled eggs I have ever eaten. It was delicious and fulfilling. Perfect before our busy day ahead. As we were enjoying our meal Rene’ came downstairs to check on everything and made small talk as we ate, while also playing with our son. The next morning we were showering and packing and again I get a text that our food is placed and ready. This spread was even better than the morning before. She had prepared a delicious, homemade “French Toast Casserole”, sausage links, fresh strawberries and bananas, orange juice, and more of her amazing scrambled eggs. This was one of the best breakfasts I have had, and again, protein packed and perfect for our crazy busy day.  Rene’ again came down to check on everything, and even brought us fresh baked cookies to take with us. Truly could not have asked for a more caring and friendly host. Overall our stay was fantastic. The extra care Rene’ took to make sure our family was taken care of, the amazing food, the gorgeous house and property, and the comfortable, spacious, and clean room and common area was exactly was we needed for our stay. I would have no issues about returning, and will gladly refer family and friends.

Clean, beautiful scenery, excellent food. proprietors really love what they do. horses nearby, very private feel. would be great for a family group.

Perfect place to stay. Reasonably priced. Great food and excellent hosts. Very accommodating of the needs of their guests. Highly recommended.
