Authentic, Rustic, Historic Log Cabin

Sparkling clean and sanitized. Large restored log home located just south of Lexington in historic Richmond, KY. Beautiful private property including picturesque ponds with docks and paddle boats where guest can fish, swim or float. There are horses, opens fields, wooded areas, abundant wildlife, picnic tables, fire pit, fishing ponds and out door grill. The 4200 sq ft home is furnished with treasures from around the world, art, pottery, crystal and some primitive antiques. A rustic style parlor offers a large stone fireplace and a perfectly restored and playable pump organ from the 1800s. The welcoming wrap-around porch was featured in the book Perfect Porches and features porch swings and big hammocks.

You’ll have your own two acres, but still have the convenience of level paved roads in a quiet neighborhood just two miles from the nearest gas and groceries.

The fabulous Red River Gorge is 45 minutes east into the rugged mountains of Kentucky. And 45 minutes North is Keenland, The Horse Park, Lexington and the Blue Grass airport. And The Ark Encounter and Creation Museum is less than 2 hr away in Northern KY.

This rambling handcrafted work of art invites visitors to recall days past when time spent on a porch swing was enlightening, and a stroll around a pond is healing. There’s an enclosed hot tub off the upstairs bedroom that extends into pine trees with an outside entrance onto the back deck. It overlooks the pond and is totally private. The big windows provide beautiful views year-round, perfect sunsets and stars twinkling through the pine boughs at night.

A king sized bed and private bath are on the first level in a very large master bedroom. Off the master bedroom is a separate bedroom with a standard and two twin beds. Up the stairs from there is a queen bed in a room that opens into the hot tub room, a large bathroom with garden tub and washer and dryer. This area also has a stone fireplace with gas logs. Down the hall on the second floor are two more bedrooms. One is large with a queen size bed and record played. The fifth bedroom has a queen size bed with a full view of the pond and private entrance onto the upper deck. There is a bathroom in this area, too.

Also, on this second floor is a balcony room that overlooks the large floor-to-ceiling hand laid stone fireplace. This area has a large comfortable couch and is the perfect spot to escape to read a book.

A unique spiraling staircase leads to the open kitchen on the first floor. The dining room off the kitchen is a one room log cabin with a handmade oak table and woven hickory bottom chairs that seat 12 comfortably.

Excellent stay for a weekend wedding
We had 10 of us that stayed here in the cabin for my son's wedding in richmond. What an awesome and beautiful place!! John and Jennifer were extremely responsive to any of our questions and quick to get back with us. They stopped by to see us while we were there and they were so kind. The place was extremely clean and well taken care of. So many awesome amenities. We will absolutely come back to this cabin if we are ever in the area again. Absolutely loved the swings and wrap around porch and the beautiful view of the lake. Very calming during hectic preparations for a wedding. Highly recommend!

Family trip
It was a great 1/2 way point between Michigan and Georgia. There is so much to do on the property itself that everyone could spend time together or in small groups. The fishing ponds were fun for kids, the instructions for the house were very detailed and ideas for the area were great.

Great experience
We had a birthday getaway for 4 adults and double that in teens for a murder mystery party. The house was great for that, and every amenity from paddleboats to video games were used. Great stay, lots of space for the group.

Great Weekend Getaway
John was a wonderful and responsive host! The cabin comfortably fit our group of 6 couples and everyone had their own room to sleep in. The cabin was well equipped with everything we needed for our stay, we loved the kitchen and the big dining room for meals. It was great to sit by the fire and feed Flag apples. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful Family Vacation
This was the best place we could possibly have chosen for our week of family time with kids & grandkids! Beautiful, fun, & relaxing for all 15 of us! We had such a great time fishing, swimming, paddle boating, grilling, playing games, feeding the horses, playing with the sweet dogs & kitty, & hanging out on the lovely porches! Hosts Jim & Dinah couldn't have been more welcoming & helpful throughout our stay! Highly recommend this gorgeous place!

Family Vacation
We stayed at the log cabin for our yearly family vacation! We had plenty to do at the house without even leaving! Fishing, pedal boating, ping pong, foosball, swinging on the many porch swings, hot tub, and feeding Flag the horse. It was a very relaxing week! It is also close to Red River Gorge area and many other activities within about an hour drive. Great communication from the owners and quick to make sure our stay was comfortable!

Kentucky Vacation
This was a great place to stay with the family. We needed a large home to stay in because we live in different states and wanted to vacation together in a peaceful atmosphere. Enjoyed the wrap around porches and swings. The fire pit area and BBQ pit was good for us because we like to cook outdoors and roast marshmallows. Paddle boats and fishing in the pond was fun. Wish the pond didn’t have to be treated. Although the children probably wouldn’t swim in it anyway. We try to leave places in better shape than when we came. Could use a little spring cleaning. But overall it was a great place to stay. Thanks to the host family for their hospitality. We enjoyed our stay!
