History
A successful part of the Kentucky wedding industry since 2007, our history dates back to 1840. Built by a southern family whose son-in-law marched by the estate on his way to fight in the Civil War, the historic venue served as both a dairy and a school before becoming The Meadow Lake Equestrian Center, the venue’s on-site, multi-discipline, full-service equestrian facility. Beautifully restored and tastefully decorated, The Ashley Inn is the perfect choice for romance and nostalgia.
