We enjoyed our stay in Martin Manor. It was clean and well l furnished. We had a small issue but owners went over and above and made it right. We would absolutely stay again. The owners were great to work with.
We thoroughly enjoyed all the amenities of this site. It was well appointed and provided a very comfortable retreat. The history of the building and creativity in incorporating three original log cabins into the design was intriguing and lent a sense of charm and tranquility that was truly unique.
This home was beautiful and even more spacious than we expected. The host was just amazing - John did everything he could to be sure we enjoyed our vacation. He was very friendly, responsive and helpful. The fishing was great too. Highly recommend staying here!!!
We had a great time. The location was perfect for our men's golf trip. All of us enjoyed the grounds, especially the fishing. The sleeping arrangements worked out very well compared to a lot of places we have rented. Check in was easy and the owner was friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. Definitely would stay again!
Extended family annual vacation. The bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and clean. The common rooms were big enough for family dinners and nightly games. Location was great for quick trips to grocery store or shopping mall. The ponds were well stocked too. We truly enjoyed our trip.
Our group of 8 was a mini-reunion of friends who attended Berea College together in the late 1960s. This home is spectacular, and we were delighted to learn that it had been built from separate log cabins by one of our classmates. While we experienced a rather typical central KY fall with rain and cool weather on all 5 days of our stay, the many cozy seating areas supported hours of conversation and reminiscing. The outdoor areas were delightful to gaze upon, even with the drizzle. On first glance, arriving guests may think they are in too urban an area, but the entire back side of the home opens to spacious views of nature....and in warm, non rainy weather, there are numerous places to sit, swing, and enjoy the firepits, etc. We only left the premises once during our stay....for dinner in Berea....that says it all!
It was absolutely the most beautiful place. It was even better than in the pictures. The cabin and the property was just perfect for our trip! We saw the Northern Lights while we were out by the campfire fire. It was truly amazing! We will definitely return!!!
This property is all it says and more. Lovely location. Amazing spaces. We loved the fire pit. The porches. Beautiful place. I would recommend and hopefully return someday
We enjoyed our stay with tthe Martin's and staying at Martin Manor immensily! The hospitality was outstanding! The cabin very homey and cozy! Our grandaughter loved the "little pool" (hot tub). The property is beautuful and everything is very well maintained. Given the opportunity, we will definitely stay at Martin Manor again and very highly recommend the accomidations!
We were celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary and we gathered all the family, children, spouses, and grand children. it was a very restful and relaxing week. Would highly recommend!
We stayed for 4 nights and really enjoyed what the place offered. It was in the 90s each day, but the wrap around porch offered quality shade no matter the time of day. The house had everything we needed. Despite the area offering so many things, we just stayed on site and had a blast catching up and playing games. The pond produced several nice sized bass. We'll be back!
We stayed at the log cabin for our yearly family vacation! We had plenty to do at the house without even leaving! Fishing, pedal boating, ping pong, foosball, swinging on the many porch swings, hot tub, and feeding Flag the horse. It was a very relaxing week! It is also close to Red River Gorge area and many other activities within about an hour drive. Great communication from the owners and quick to make sure our stay was comfortable!
We had a wonderful time. The house and grounds were beautiful and great for the family outing. The pond, fire pit, home game room, two dachshunds and the horses were great, while I did not catch the bass 😀 my son in law and grandson did 😀. I will catch him next time. It was a great multigenerational home. The host family was very attentive and helpful and friendly. I’d recommend this home to anyone seeking a nice country experience.
We had 10 of us that stayed here in the cabin for my son's wedding in richmond. What an awesome and beautiful place!! John and Jennifer were extremely responsive to any of our questions and quick to get back with us. They stopped by to see us while we were there and they were so kind. The place was extremely clean and well taken care of. So many awesome amenities. We will absolutely come back to this cabin if we are ever in the area again. Absolutely loved the swings and wrap around porch and the beautiful view of the lake. Very calming during hectic preparations for a wedding. Highly recommend!
We had to gather from various parts of the country for a funeral in Richmond, Kentucky, and were in search of accommodation for our group. This log cabin on VRBO turned out to be the ideal choice for our party of 9. It provided the perfect balance of staying together while enjoying individual rooms, beds, and bathrooms.
The cabin facilitated our needs perfectly, allowing us to share meals and engage in board games we brought along. The picturesque surroundings added to the charm, and we even had the delightful opportunity to feed apples to the horses. We unanimously agreed that if we ever find ourselves back in Richmond, this would be our go-to place without a doubt.
Our experience was made even better by the fantastic host who was a pleasure to work with. A big thank you for hosting us and making our stay so memorable!
This was a great place to stay with the family.
We needed a large home to stay in because we live in different states and wanted to vacation together in a peaceful atmosphere.
Enjoyed the wrap around porches and swings.
The fire pit area and BBQ pit was good for us because we like to cook outdoors and roast marshmallows.
Paddle boats and fishing in the pond was fun. Wish the pond didn’t have to be treated. Although the children probably wouldn’t swim in it anyway.
We try to leave places in better shape than when we came. Could use a little spring cleaning. But overall it was a great place to stay. Thanks to the host family for their hospitality. We enjoyed our stay!
Martin Manor was a great place for our group of 5 couples and 1 single to stay for our 50th college reunion. There was space galore and a beautiful view of the lake/pond. Even though there was a hot tub and also activities at the lake, we really did not have time to use them. My husband and I did enjoy the paddle boats on the last day. There are two sets of stairs leading upstairs which really helped with our group. The kitchen was well stocked with pans, plates and dinnerware, although I forgot to look in the island storage the first day! The dining room table could accommodate 8-12 people. The king suite on the first floor was very roomy. A smaller bedroom with a double and 2 twins opened into that room. There were three bedrooms with queens upstairs. The 6th bedroom was actually a living room but could become a bedroom with the use of an air mattress or fold out couch. It was a beautiful place for our reunion. The owner was next door and very helpful when we had questions.
Host had been very welcoming and so accommodating. Great communication leading up to and during our stay. Everything was clean and spacious. So thankful for this place for our family to gather and celebrate together. Everyone mentioned how they look forward to returning to enjoy the property in the warmer weather.
