Creekside Barn was the hidden gem we were searching for to host our wedding. From the moment we reached out, their communication was quick, transparent, and filled with genuine warmth and care. The venue itself is a beautifully rustic and charming space, tucked away in a serene countryside setting. On our wedding day, the Creekside Barn team took care of everything, handling any issues with our guests seamlessly behind the scenes so we could fully enjoy the occasion.

Simmstown Manor 

5.0

Springfield, KY
  • Up to 400 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor & indoor

Built in 1842, historic Simmstown Manor has a rich story. Originally constructed by Harvey McElroy for his daughter Mariah, the home later passed to John Simms after the Civil War. Unlike many, Simms preserved his wealth through the war and acquired the mansion and its surrounding land, eventually owning 2,400 acres. The Simms family added a two-story north wing and moved in by 1868, hosting grand gatherings for the region’s most prominent families. When John’s wife, Sarah Cecilia, died in 1895, he divided his land among their five children, giving Simmstown to his youngest, Mary, with whom he lived until his death. The property remained in the family until 1983, when it was sold to the current owner, Larry Hodge. Both the house and grounds later underwent extensive renovation, preserving as much historic character as possible.

My family rented this property to celebrate my son's graduation. We rent 5 or more properties per year and none is as nice as this property. Each room is a work of art. The mansion is a working horse and cattle farm and it was wonderfully relaxing just to watch. While we spent a great deal of time doing all the surrounding activities, we could not wait to return to this property just to continue to explore all the nooks and crannies. The house is filled with history, the architecture is wonderful, and the experience of staying in an authentic Kentucky mansion is not to be missed.
