Bball weekend
We came to town to visit our son and attend a baseball game. We had a group of 9. There was ample free parking. It was a very easy walk to downtown and Rupp. We had the “house chef” cater a brunch for us and that was amazing!!! The kitchen is very small so would advise against trying to cook for a large group. Overall a fantastic experience! And a big win for the cats too!

We stayed at Morrison Cabin for a family wedding. It was an absolutely perfect place for a gathering. Sparkling clean and comfy. The antiques are just gorgeous. This was our first time in Lexington, and Morrison Cabin was a perfect home base. We didn't need to rent a car. Easily walkable to wonderful restaurants and coffee shops.Instantly responsive host.

Comfortable cabin in convenient location
Comfortable cabin in convenient location. Clean, well appointed, and walkable to Rupp and several restaurants. Only complaint was the street noise due to proximity to a fairly busy intersection. Stayed over a holiday weekend and heard several emergency vehicles throughout the night.

Part of Lexington’s history
We stayed at the Morrison cabin for our daughter’s graduation from Transylvania. It was the perfect location for all the events on campus and for going out to eat and enjoying downtown. Once we parked the car we did not need it again until we left. The cabin comfortably accommodated our family of 6 adults. It was also beautifully decorated.

Perfect Christmas Stay in Historic Lexington
We brought our 3 children ages 4-9 to spend Christmas with their cousins in Lexington and loved the neighborhood and character of this restored cabin. Tasteful art and decor throughout this gem. Convenient to historical properties in Gratz Park, but also to the Henry Clay estate and within walking distance to Mary Todd Lincoln’s childhood home. There are several great local restaurants and bars nearby, within walking distance or a short drive away. Highly recommend!

We rented two houses from John. He is a true gentleman and a very caring person. We had an issue with one of the houses. He not only responded instantly, he went above and beyond to take care of the problem. Always kind and preofessional on the calls, John provided and excellent stay for our family and friends in these beatifully decorated, historical and beautiful houses. I recommend the house with great confidence and you will not regret. Sibel

Morrison Cabin is delightful
Wonderful, historical cabin in great neighborhood with everything close by. Comfortable and clean with tasteful and updated amenities. Great beds, fluffy pillows, located by great restaurants, bakeries and loads of historic landmarks. Parking is easy and convenient. The cabin is located on a very busy street. Luckily, your hosts are kind enough to provide white noise machines in the bedrooms that block out most of the sounds. Lovely and unique place to stay! Would highly recommend.

Really beautifully unique historic home
We stayed at this house for 1 overnight to reconnect with friends and overall we were delighted. It was very clean, comfortable beds, etc. Unfortunately this property is on a major thoroughfare for emergency vehicles and as the house is old, and right up against the road, people sensitive to noise might want to carefully consider before booking. Bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. The location, otherwise, is very convenient to shops and cafes.
