At the Home of Frontier Nursing Service in Wendover, Kentucky.
If you are looking for seclusion and desiring to steal away from the busy life,
this is the place for you. This two-story rustic log home is the perfect place
to get away from it all. The Bed and Breakfast is steeped with tradition from
its displays of heroine nurses to it roaring fireplace. Guests travel from all
over the United States to be a part of this historical and inspiring experience.
The beautiful log home known as the Big House was built in 1925 by Mary Breckinridge, founder of the Frontier Nursing Service. When it was completed in 1925, Mrs. Breckinridge held an open house and invited everyone in Leslie County to come and be a part of the celebration. To Mrs. Breckinridge’s surprise, nearly 500 people showed up, the majority of them on horseback. In 1991 the Big House became National Historical Kentucky Landmark.
The Bed and Breakfast Inn has eight guest rooms: Four rooms in the Big House and four in the Barn. The Barn at one time was where horses were kept. Today it is the home of our Gift Shop and male Courier housing. Our guests love browsing the Gift Shop looking at FNS memorabilia and crafts made by local craft artisans.
Your stay at the Wendover Bed and Breakfast includes a hearty country breakfast served in the " dogtrot" dining room, surrounded by beauty and history. The Big House is a licensed Bed and Breakfast Inn.
