About this property

The Barn at Deva's Farm: Haute Blue Grass - Modern Retreat in the countryside

In the gently rolling Bourbon county hills between Paris and Cynthiana, travelling down a gated crunchy gravel drive a red barn comes into view – a surprising hideaway.

Unexpected, modern serenity awaits you on the other side of the traditional barn doors. A bright, airy, open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area with a high ceiling all feels uncluttered, peaceful, and inviting. Relax. Sink into a chair with a book, or kick back on the sofa. Underfloor heating keeps things cozy on cold nights, while central air-conditioning and ceiling fans ensure comfort in the summer.

Multiple sun-drenched windows offer far reaching pastoral views and amazing sunrises and sunsets. Outside patio and sitting areas bring you even closer to the natural beauty of the land and are a perfect spot for a quiet morning coffee or tea, or to socialize with others over pre-dinner drinks.

The European-modern kitchen with island seating is a well-equipped place to gather, whether simply making plans for the day over breakfast, lining up wine glasses and snacks for an afternoon nibble, or preparing a savory dinner (feast) for friends and family.

At the end of the day, two spacious boutique bedrooms await you. Fall into bed, adjust the firmness to your liking, and drift off to good night’s sleep. Also, two modern,
aesthetic bathrooms offer luxuriating rain style showers, lovely soaps and plentiful towels.

Whether you are avid cyclists, a romantic couple, a family, or group of friends looking to spend time together, this is a special get-away-from-it-all place. It is just the spot for lovers of the outdoors and those who enjoy something a little different than the norm.

Days out might include a visit to one of the famous horse farms, Claiborne Farm, The Kentucky Horse Park, a wager or breakfast at the Keeneland thoroughbred race track, stops on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, Craft Bourbon Trail , and BREWgrass trail, local shopping and dining in Paris- a town that exudes small town charm in every way, a drink and meal with friends at Rose & Thorne Pub or Trackside Depot - both in downtown Paris, The Ark Encounter, The Creation Museum, golf & fishing nearby, hiking at The Red River Gorge and Natural Bridge state park or simply exploring the history and rural beauty of the bluegrass. Just lovely.

Wish we could have stayed longer!
Gwen is a delight and has outdone herself. This property is a must stay! It is very unique and so well thought out. I really appreciated her attention to detail since I had forgotten to bring a few things. My oldest son and I live far apart and had the opportunity to meet up and I knew instantly it was perfect for us to stay here. The drive to it was gorgeous and the property itself is really well taken care of. The kitchen was organized and so easy to cook in, which we loved. The beds were such a wonderful surprise as they are adjustable and boy did we appreciate that. Best sleep ever!! If you enjoy beautiful views, peace and quiet, all the amenities you could ever want, including pet friendly, STAY HERE! It will not disappoint. I can't wait to visit again and explore the beautiful area.

The best location for a perfect girls trip
This is my second time staying at Deva Farm and it’s perfect. The host thinks of everything and the property is gorgeous. A quick 15 minute drive into Paris KY is a must. Thanks Gwen for having us and we will see you again!

Beautiful Barn for Bridal Room and Honeymoon
My stay at Deva Barn was more than I could have hoped for. I stayed the first night with my bridal party and used the barn to be able to get ready for my wedding. The Barn was clean and had everything I could have needed. We enjoyed an evening around the fire pit watching the sunset, stars and the Starlink Satellite train. It was the perfect place to relax the night before my wedding. It was a beautiful place to get ready for my wedding. I had all of my pre-wedding pictures taken on the gorgeous property. Gwen (the hostess) was incredible to work with and she did everything she could to make my stay for my wedding as stress free as possible. I’m already trying to figure out when I can return for a longer stay!

Farm Fabulous
Property was everything it claimed to be and more. Farmhouse has beautiful fixtures and amazing morning and evening views. I drank my morning coffee to the sounds of the country. We planned activities in the surrounding areas but would have been happy to spend it all on the property.

About the host

Hosted by Gwen Dever

Host profile image
Gwen, native Kentuckian, organic vegetable farmer, bourbon tour guide, loves to cook, comes alive when meeting new people, and volunteers for several organizations in Paris, Ky. Mark, originally from Williamsburg, Virginia, loves Kentucky for it's pastoral views, excellent cycling roads, and Bourbon whiskey. Both enjoy travelling wherever it may take them, domestic or international with a penchant for Italy and the UK.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Bourbon County, Kentucky long before we lived in its look-alike cousin, Wiltshire, England, for five lovely years. Our plan several years ago was to buy this Kentucky pasture (37 acres of gorgeous views and fertile soil), build a homestead and live out our years tending to the earth, our animals and ourselves.

The lovely town of Paris is 6 miles away and while we could use that as our base for most of our needs, with Lexington only 30 minutes away we knew we were set. We almost did exactly that, but with just a few changes. Whilst living in England, we bought a historic home in beautiful downtown Paris, Kentucky, rented it to others while we were away, and then moved into that house upon our return from England. Now, since it is not yet the time to retire, you will find Gwen tending to the earth at the farm while Mark is at the office (bringing home the bacon).

We now have a barn at the farm! Well, this barn is just a bit different as it includes an apartment and a farm kitchen to suit our changing needs. The barn allows us to get on with it, and to rent the apartment to others who enjoy gorgeous country views, relaxing atmosphere, small town living, sweet country cycling roads, and all things Bourbon and Horse! We know our friends and family love to visit the area, and we know you will, too. We love to hear the stories of your stay and adventures at week’s end. Come see us!

What makes this property unique

At The Barn you enjoy the serenity and beauty of the countryside all the while enjoying the European modern decor inside. The outdoor seating areas bring you directly in touch with Mother Nature. A perfect retreat if you usually live in a congested area- relax and take in the wonder of Bourbon County and its surrounds. Horse, bourbon, wine, beer, cycling, shopping, history, all these appealing pursuits are catered to here!
