Whether visiting for a wedding, a weekend retreat, or a peaceful escape through the Bluegrass, McIntyre Hall offers a rare combination of history, beauty, and hospitality.

Shared spaces:
The shared living room is the heart of the hall, layered with coral velvet sofas, patterned wingback chairs, and soft blue walls that create a sense of calm and warmth. It is a space for conversation, reading, or enjoying a quiet moment by lamplight.

Beyond the sitting room, the bright dining area and kitchenette blend functionality and style. Crisp white cabinetry, marble-style counters, and brass lantern pendants frame the space. Guests can heat meals, brew morning coffee, or share an evening bourbon at the island or dining table.

Every element of the design-from the textures to the lighting-has been chosen to reflect both Kentucky's heritage and the ease of modern living.

Guest access
Guests have access to their private suite, the shared kitchenette, dining room, lounge, patio, and the surrounding Mustard Seed Hill grounds. The estate's walkways connect McIntyre Hall to beautifully restored brick buildings, shaded lawns, and peaceful sitting areas.

Private tours of the historic Allen House, a celebrated example of Greek Revival architecture, can be arranged upon request. Guests are welcome to enjoy the South Lawn and Terrace for morning walks or quiet evening reflection.
