The Inn at Wilderness Road

I’ve stayed here several dozen times, and I always have a pleasant experience. The rooms are clean and cozy, the beds are wonderful, and the staff, especially Caroline, go out of their way to accommodate their guests. Give this place a try - you won’t regret it!

If you find yourself in or around Standford, KY The Stanford Inn at Wilderness Road is the only place to consider staying. The building itself is one of the town historic buildings that has been redone into the most cozy and comfortable rooms. Rooms are small, but they are more comfortable than any chain hotel I've ever stayed in. Fully adjustable heating and air unit in the room for your comfort. A fan is also provided. A gift bag of toiletries is provided in the room from Kentucky Soap and such which is located just a couple of door down on main St. My room was impeccably clean with fresh linens that still held the scent of a very pleasant laundry soap. I travel for work and the staff were more than accommodating as my work ours are not the typical 9-5. I would not even consider staying anywhere else in Stanford. There are houses/cottages available as well and I plan to come back for a leisure visit to stay in one of those.

If I could give more stars, I would! My family as well as my husband and I stayed here for our wedding weekend. Each house was more impressive than the next! I cannot overemphasize the attention to detail and comfort present in these gorgeous homes. They were unbelievably clean and had anything you would need from kitchen supplies to wood and a lighter to make a fire in the fireplace. Better than anywhere I've ever stayed. My only regret is that we were not able to stay longer and truly relax and enjoy the coziness. We will be back!

We found the well-restored and comfortably-appointed rooms of the St. Asaph Hotel to be in keeping with the simplicity and uncluttered condition of what we expect was their original, circa 1920's design. Our two-night stay was very pleasant--the hotel was exceptionally quiet despite the wooden floors, the beds were quite comfortable, the "blackout" louvered shutters easily blocked out the early morning sun, and the AC performed outstanding effectively and flawlessly. Perfectly situated directly across the street is a barber shop and what turned out to be a fantastic little diner (The Bluebird), where I had some of the best damned fried green tomatoes I've ever eaten. All told, a great place to visit, slow down, and relax.

We stayed at the Shelby Cottage and it was amazing! We walked to the Bluebird for all of our meals but if we had chosen to cook we had a well stocked kitchen. Every Possible utensil was In the kitchen including pans, dishes, and towels. The steam shower was amazing! The bed and pillows were heaven. We received this past weekend as a gift from family. We had previously gifted a weekend for them in December for a family funeral. They were very happy with the cottage as well. We actually live up the street! But it was like a different place and time. We have started a new tradition. We will return to the Shelby Cottage!
