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.
Old log cabin, steep old stone steps leading up to the cabin. Clean modern kitchen. Steep stairs to second floor living room, good Wi-Fi, comfortable chairs, couch, king size bed.
Easy drive to downtown Lexington and the racetrack, Five minutes to Proud Mary's for great BBQ and music.

Why they chose this property
This 1907 cabin will take you back into time. You won't even feel like your 15 minutes from the city. The nostalgia and the coziness of this beautiful home will encourage you to rest, relax and tap a nap. While we would encourage you to unplug and play some board games or enjoy sitting outside listening to the ripple of the river, we realize you may have to work or check in with the world via internet so high speed wireless internet is also available.
What makes this property unique
This cabin was built in 1907 and while clean, sturdy, and cozy, it does have the character of some un-level original hardwood floors. The loft with 2 twin beds is accessed by a ladder only so picturing a scene from Little House on the Prairie should help you understand the cool factor of your stay.
