Welcome to Rose Hill Inn, one of Kentucky's finest bed and breakfasts, only 15 minutes west of Lexington, Kentucky, in Versailles. Built in 1823, the historic home has been wonderfully renovated, but features of the original mansion are preserved and enhanced. The parlor, library, front porch, and 3 acres of grounds are all for your enjoyment.
Near to horse farms, Keeneland and the Kentucky Horse Park.
Rose Hill was built about 1823 as the residence of Dr. William Terrell, by Henry Crittenden. Henry Crittenden was the brother of John Crittenden, one the governors of Kentucky in the 1840's. Henrys son became the governor of the State of Missouri. They were a political family, raised here in Woodford County in a log cabin, which is preserved by the Historical Society.
The home was originally called "Rose Hill", and is the oldest home in the Historical District. The original structure was a federal style home, but many changes occurred in the 1880's to make it as it appears today.
We have found dated signatures under the wallpaper, which were photographed and traced, from many of the past residents of the house.
The first occupants were the Terrell family, who originated in Virginia and moved to Kentucky in 1807. They had slaves and children. It is reported that both North and South occupied the grounds during the Civil War. Blood stains, which were discovered when we refinished the floors, testify to the use of the home as a hospital for the wounded. We have a cabinet which contains our collectible artifacts found on the property.
