Two Commonwealths: Virginia to Kentucky

Kentucky is one of only four American states that call themselves commonwealths. Virginia is another, and that's where our family started.

When we moved west and found 85 quiet acres in Bloomfield, the name came easily. A commonwealth is built for the common good, and that's the kind of house we wanted: a place where everyone has room and everyone is welcome at the table.

Each suite is named for one of the four commonwealths: Kentucky, Virginia, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. The fifth is named for the Rickhouse, where the bourbon ages.

From Our Family to Yours

A home before it was a getaway.

The Commonwealth was our family's home before it welcomed guests. From Virginia to Kentucky, our story brought us to 85 quiet acres in Bloomfield—and a house with room for the people we love.

Now it's a place for your people, too. Dinner around the island. One more conversation on the deck. Time together, with a room of your own.
