Our stay was excellent in every way!

We found multiple restaurants nearby which were all very good. We came for a concert at the Rupp Arena and the cabin was conveniently located. We especially enjoyed hiking at nearby Ravens Run. The communication with the host was excellent and the cabin was a special treasure! We were blessed to make some treasured memories!

Unique cabin

We stayed here while visiting our son who goes to UK. It was exactly as listed. We knew going into it that the outside stairs were hazardous, but we took our time. Our dog enjoyed her stay as well. The price is right for this cozy cabin.

What a gem!

My friend and I absolutely loved this little place! It was very cute, very comfortable, and very clean. We would not hesitate to stay again! Everything was exactly as described. I would say if you have difficulty walking, which we do not, the stairs getting into the house might be tough.

River Cabin

Very cute and peace place. Truly and old cabin, low ceilings. Steps are step and corners are tight in places. Shower is very small. But very relaxing and just right off the interstate but on a very calm street. I didn’t see anyone else at all.

Perfect getaway

Close enough to Lexington for daily fun. Short enough drive to the Ark and Creation (max 1.5 hours) It was quiet and peaceful. The stairs outside were a bit tricky, but we knew that when we booked. The new HVAC system did struggle on a really hot afternoon - but we were able to stay cool in the downstairs area. My husband and I had a blast and highly recommend!

Great rustic cabin

My wife and I had a great stay at this cabin. Perfect for the two of us. Even in the heat, the AC kept the cabin comfortable for sleeping. Don’t miss out on the great food and fun at Proud Mary’s just a few minutes away.

Secluded nostalgic cabin

You can feel the history of this place while it still has all the modern amenities. It was very unique, cozy and secluded but still within 15-20 minutes of anything you could want. The stone stairway up to the cabin absolutely does add to the charm and was fine for us to navigate but I could see where it could be a little difficult for those with mobility issues. Definitely would stay here again if we are back near Lexington!

Great Stay, Price Reflects Property

Overall, this was perfect for our weekend! It is fantastic to see something in its original condition. Owners were upfront about the size and the unique challenges of old structures. The only problem would be that the bathroom and shower need some TLC due to peeling wallpaper. In addition, the parking space was a little tight for our vehicle. We made it work, but parking was a challenge. For under 80 a night - no complaints! However if price were to increase we probably wouldn’t stay again unless there were upgrades.

Quiet, Clean rustic cabin.

We had a pleasant stay in this home. It was well stocked and clean. The cabin is old and comes with all the quirks that an old home brings. The beds were comfortable. The loft was a little difficult for a tall adult to get up and down from. The heating is uneven, so it stays much colder in the downstairs and bathroom. As noted the stairs leading to the house are very rough and make for a challenge carrying suitcases. All of this is noted for knowledge, not a complaint. We are very happy we chose this house to stay in.

Nice but not really on the river

Nice clean, quiet, quaint cabin in rustic setting. We enjoyed our trip, and are glad we stayed there, but would probably not return. We expected to have a river view and access to it based on ad saying it was a cabin on a river. Yet we could not even see river either from property or Beach Street (that may be different in the winter), and there is no walking access to it. That was disappointing as we expected enjoy a cabin "on the river." While technically correct, it's not what most envision from that phrase.

Cozy log cabin

I really enjoyed my overnight. The living area is so comfortable and the decor and books right up my alley. The bed and linens as well as pillows were so comfy and I slept great! Nice and neat kitchen and bath. A few suggestions I have would be to just add a railing up the stone steps from the street. I knew about them but with luggage and food bags it’s very difficult to walk up and down only touching a tree stump or rock here and there. Also the cabin did not smell fresh. I would maybe spray febreeze before each visitor. Also I had wished to have access to walk down to the river. I wish that had been advertised that there was not access.

Nice antiques, but….

The antique furnishings were exactly my style. The king bed was very comfortable. I somehow missed in the description of the property that the bedroom and living rooms were up a steep flight of stairs, while the kitchen and bathroom were on the first floor. We found our clothes covered with animal hair after sitting on the couch. The stairs to access the property were VERY treacherous. I can’t believe there is no railing and the top portion of them are so very uneven. Would not stay there again.

Perfect for a weekend getaway

Great location and perfect for a long weekend. As mentioned in the description the steps to the house are a little daunting and steep but we did enjoy the house and loved we could being our pup with us. You can't beat the price for this house. Make sure to swing by Proud Mary's BBQ right down the road for good food and music!
