Now, the Big House and three other properties at Wendover are operated by the Leslie County Betterment Foundation and available for nightly rentals. Guest Access: Guests will have access to all areas of the house, however, we DO NOT allow guests to use the kitchen. We offer a microwave, coffee maker and full size refrigerator. Other Things to Note: We do not allow guests to use the kitchen in the Big House. The fire hazard is too great for our beloved historical home. However, we do offer a microwave, coffee maker and refrigerator. Also, cell service can be a challenge at Wendover especially if you have an out of area provider.
