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.

Disliked: Location
The property welcomed pets. The only issues i had were they was an infestation of bugs. There were at least 10 lady bugs in the downstairs area, kitchen, bathroom and when you walk in the cabin. There were also lady bugs in the master bedroom. There was also 2 stink bugs that i saw in the master bedroom. I hate bugs. The steps, if that's what you want to call them, leading to the property we're in severe disrepair. I didn't like that the bathroom was not in the same floor as the bedrooms. The bathroom shower stall had visible dirt around the outside. This location is not close by any activities and you can't even have food delivered. If you like to live in a place reminiscent of the 1800s you would appreciate it more then i did.

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!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Laura Ratliff

Host profile image
Our Family loves farming and living in rural Lexington, not far from the Cabin. Laura is a native to the area and grew up on the same road we live on. We attend church close by where Chris serves as the youth director. Their 3 daughters are active in the family business and enjoys leaving special treats for youngsters that are staying with us.

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.
