Stepping back in time
Absolutely love the house and all the pieces in it that take you back in time. Especially love the letter written by Abraham Lincoln hanging on the stairwell. And love the book showing all the hard work that was done to rebuild this home. Very comfortable and homie would definitely stay again.

Double booked!
We checked in and entered the home, only to find out that it had been rented for the same night on another platform. (We booked five months out, but somehow this did not show as unavailable on the other platform!) As the other party had already established occupancy and left their luggage there, we were asked to leave. The host assisted with the refund and contributed to our hotel expense at a nearby property. Unfortunate circumstances, but handled well by the host. Would have liked to have stayed the night - the place looked really cozy.

Good time
Meet Friends and had a great time, liked having the bathroom in each bedroom, was able to get around town easily, as stated needed a while to warm up but it did and was able to find a 100% Gluten free restaurant that was easy to get to.

A real log cabin
Very clean and easy to find. TV's in both bedrooms. Great water pressure and hot water. Ate at Waterfront Grill-- great food especially French fries. Went to the Natural Bridge - a good hike.

Cozy, rustic cabin
The cabin was well stocked and clean. It was adorably decorated with antique decor and comfortably furnished. Plenty of pillows and linens. Convenient to the interstate in a quiet neighborhood. It suited our family well, with husband, wife and three children, 12, 10 and 6 yo. But if I had a baby or toddler it might have been a bit difficult because of the stairs/accessibility. Otherwise, we didn't have any issues.

It was beautiful and nostalgic! We only stayed one night, but wished we had mot more time!
This was a cool place to stay for our family. It had the perfect amount of space for two adults and two children. It was clean and welcoming. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Lovely cabin!
Dogs, husband and I had a great sleep in this charming cabin. Hot strong showers, comfy king size bed and plenty of kool antiques to peruse. Only nego was there were only flavored coffees for the Keurig. Yuck. For the price you can’t beat this place in the area. Thank you.

Wonderful cozy trip back in time
We had a super cozy and unique experience staying here at this cabin. We felt like it was a trip back in time. The beds were all so cozy and the location was perfect for us to visit the Ark and my sister and her family who live close by. We are thankful and when we come back to visit family we will stay here again. Thank you for the hospitality.

Dog cabin
Cut short due to storm that killed the power and blew the back door wide open, causing rain and water to come in the cabin while we were away shopping. Realize that the door was unable to lock and was never even closed at all. The deadbolt the front door does not even lineup and would not work.
The grass on the property was at least a foot-long, driveway was basicly two grassy ruts. Almost got stuck, trying to get away from the property.

Perfect Hub
The location and size was perfect for our family of 4, weeklong vacation. We traveled to the Ark Encounter, the Horse Park, and to the Gorge Underground. Each was a day trip with a short drive. We returned each evening to a hot shower and a comfy bed. It was a unique stay with an older cabin and our kids loved it. Owners were quick to respond to issues. With so much to see around the Lexington area, we can see ourselves returning and staying here again.

Perfect for Breyerfest!
We rented this house to visit Breyerfest and it worked out great! The property has a ton of charm and the commute to the horse park was easy! Not much to do in the immediate area, though. The house was comfortable and relaxing. Would definitely rent again!

Log Cabin
Very authentic 1820s log cabin. But updated with today’s technology. Love all the decor and amenities. Appreciate the brochures and information regarding the area and of the cabin. Amenities was great! Wonderful dishes, easy to clean pans and the coffee bar was a very nice addition! Only disappointment was the back porch/ yard area .. stone steps in back are a little wobbly and no close outdoor conversation area. There is a fire pit, but no outdoor grill. Owner was easy to reach for questions and requests. Overall, was a great stay

Unique
It was fun to stay in. The steps going into the bedrooms were a tricky though, but we got the hang of it. It was in the 90’s when we stayed in the cabin, the cooling system worked very well! Would recommend 100% but not for those who have trouble with steps or stepping into a bathtub.

Great spot in a quiet neighborhood
We had a great stay at the cabin, very easy to check in and prompt responses from the hosts. We loved the charm of the house, and proximity to everything we wanted to do in Lexington. We especially loved the book showing the restoration of the cabin. Definitely plan on coming back!
