This property is absolutely amazing. We stayed during Parents Weekend at W&L. Brian and Michael were excellent hosts and went above and beyond to make our stay welcoming and comfortable. Check in is very easy. Baked goods and local beverages were delicious and fresh flowers were such a special touch. This is an easy 20-25minute drive to campus and a nice getaway from all the crowds in town. Book it, you’ll be glad you did!

The hosts did seem welcoming. The house is great although there needs to be more towel hooks for drying or several more towels when 4 people are there for more than a couple of day.

This place is absolutely lovely! The pictures don’t do it justice. The house is very clean, well stocked, well decorated, and they even left fresh flowers on the table, which I loved!! Also, there were treats in the kitchen. Bread, cookies, and cider from a local business. These were such nice touches. The cider was delicious! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!

Gorgeous property in lovely location!

We dropped our son off at a local college in Lexington and stayed in this lovely property for the weekend. I’m from the gorgeous decor to the welcome treats, every part of our stay was perfect. The home is delightful and the owners were attentive and friendly. We plan to stay here each time we visit our son! Thank you for a great time!

Gonna save this one

From character to location to cleanliness and hospitality, perfect is the best adjective that comes to . mind. Very quiet area and very convenient access to the interstate. When the host renovated this place it is obvious there was attention to detail in making it an impressive little place.

Perfect little nest

This rental was beautifully decorated in such happy and bright colors and artwork. The property was stunning. It was fascinating being surrounded by such wonderful, historic places. The hosts left us cookies, bread, and beer all from local artisans. So very thoughtful and welcoming. The bed is incredibly soft! We would certainly recommend staying here!

Weekend getaway

From the moment we stepped into the exquisitely renovated home, we were in an aura of tranquility and refinement. Every facet of the house exuded a perfect blend of comfort, style, and charm. Every corner unveiled a new marvel, from the tastefully decorated living space to the impeccably appointed bedrooms. The location was perfect for our stay, with access to all the local parks and breweries we were looking to visit. The recommendations for eateries also helped us find another location we'll be sure to visit again.

We stayed the weekend at the Kitchen house at Firmstone Manor and are leaving more relaxed and restored than we could have hoped for, and we are already planning our next trip back. Situated away from the busyness of Lexington but close enough to get to any events, the fresh air and proximity to hiking trails had us spending lots of time outdoors and gave us excellent sleeps. The beds and linens are very high-quality at, and the whole interior is thoughtfully and carefully appointed. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners, Michael and Brian, and it’s clear that their top priority is to create easy, calming, and memorable stays for their guests. Upon entering, we were greeted with a vase of fresh flowers. local baked goods in the kitchen, and local juices, and beers in the fridge! When we travel as a family, we always need more than one bedroom and the nightly rate makes this an excellent value relative to adjoining rooms in a hotel. We cannot wait to return!

Perfect home base for adventure

With rain in the forecast we decided to cancel camping and look for alternate accommodations. We found the Kitchen House last minute and ideally located. It was the perfect home base for our biking adventures, central to the areas we wanted to visit. Brian was responsive and gave us a place to hose down and securely store our bikes. The cottage was clean and colorful – we had everything we needed – the local cider, craft beer, cookies and bread were unexpected and pretty much gone by the time we ended our stay. We will absolutely return if they'll have us.
