About the host
Hosted by Laura Ratliff
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.
