About the Inn

History:

As the story goes Mr. Lowery, the local banker, built the house in 1889. When he married in 1921, his wife informed him that the house was too small for entertaining. He expanded the house, of course.

Fast forward to 2005 when the farm property was being sold. The city of Wilmore didn’t want to see this historic home destroyed and asked current owners, Rudy and Pat Medlock, if they would move and restore the home. They were happy to do so and were able to purchase property just across the street from the original site.

Location:

The Inn is a few blocks from Asbury University and Asbury Seminary, as well as the Wilmore downtown featuring local coffee, ice cream, and pizza shops. Attractions such as Shaker Village, Keeneland Racing, and Lexington Horse park are a short distance away.

The rooms:

There are four rooms for rent. Three of the rooms have ensuite bathrooms. The fourth room as its own private bathroom located across the hall. Breakfast is provided with the rooms.

The mission:

The name for the Potters Inn is two-fold. First, it is our hope that guests will come to the inn to find rest and to hear a word from God. There are numerous places to relax including the sun-room and wrap-around porch. Guests will also find on display pottery and other artwork collected by owners Rudy and Pat Medlock.
