Beds were comfy and had lovely bed linens. Area rugs had no non-slip padding and slipped around while walking on them. No grab bars in bathrooms. We are both older and look for safety features. Living room furniture could use some refurbishing especially the upholstered pieces. Chairs with wheels on wood flooring not completely safe.Very unique tho, staying in a house that is 239 yrs old. enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed this step back into time by staying at the Morrison cabin. The host provided wonderful ambience with a live Christmas wreath on the front door & a small tree indoors. The kitchen was well stocked with nice dishes & glassware. We used the combo coffee pot & espresso machine. The location was perfect for walking tours of downtown Lexington. It was very comfortable for our family of 6 adults.

Lovely historic home in a great location except for some traffic/street noise. Some of the kitchen appliances were not working (ice maker, water in fridge door, oven wouldn't bake or broil - just convection), and there is no toaster. Bathmats are missing, and some of the towels need to be retired.
