Authentic, Rustic, Historic Log Cabin

We had a girls trip weekend to the cabin and it was PERFECT! It was so thoughtfully decorated and stocked for whatever we might need and the host was incredibly communicative and thorough with information for the weekend. Don’t forget to bring carrots for the horses!

This was the perfect setting to celebrate our Dad's 80th birthday! The kitchen was well equipped for all our meals and the coffee maker kept up with us. We put the hot tub, ping pong table, fire pit, game room, hammock, and swings to good use. No need to leave the property as there was plenty of space for all of our differing ages to enjoy. It was an extra fun bonus to have horses to feed apple pieces too :) Thank you for hosting our family on your property! We will keep this spot in mind for future family get-togethers.

The cabin was so clean and spacious and the host left excellent instructions

We were satisfied with the hot tub.

Perfect place for our family to meet for “The Cousin Crew Celebration”. The young ones did not want to leave. Perfect because they love the outdoors, roasting marshmallows, seeing the horses, exploring and having room inside too to play games, do crafts and just enjoying each others company. No one was on their computers or watching TV even though there was plenty of television to use. The only thing is the kids want to come back when it is warmer so they can fish and swim in the pond. Great stay and it was nice to meet the owner too.

This is a lovely, well-kept property with a thoughtful, helpful host. We were sent all the info in advance with instructions for things about the house and things to do around the area. The house itself is warm and welcoming. It was perfect with a dining area big enough for our large group. We would definitely visit again...hopefully in warmer weather so we could enjoy the outside amenities as well!

Host was great very accommodating to our needs. Loved the cabin.

Host had been very welcoming and so accommodating. Great communication leading up to and during our stay. Everything was clean and spacious. So thankful for this place for our family to gather and celebrate together. Everyone mentioned how they look forward to returning to enjoy the property in the warmer weather.

Enjoyed our stay in this log cabin home. Had everything we needed. Beautiful surroundings. Very relaxing. Hosts very gracious and accommodating.

Our group of 8 was a mini-reunion of friends who attended Berea College together in the late 1960s. This home is spectacular, and we were delighted to learn that it had been built from separate log cabins by one of our classmates. While we experienced a rather typical central KY fall with rain and cool weather on all 5 days of our stay, the many cozy seating areas supported hours of conversation and reminiscing. The outdoor areas were delightful to gaze upon, even with the drizzle. On first glance, arriving guests may think they are in too urban an area, but the entire back side of the home opens to spacious views of nature....and in warm, non rainy weather, there are numerous places to sit, swing, and enjoy the firepits, etc. We only left the premises once during our stay....for dinner in Berea....that says it all!

Martin Manor provided the perfect location for our 10th annual girls trip! The grounds- with horses in the paddock, many ponds and docks- wrap around porch, multiple porch swings, lots of nooks to read and a cozy great room for late night conversations was ideal! The one thing to note would be there are 5 bedrooms and then the living room with an air mattress. I’m certain we’ll be back!

Beautiful property with lota to do on site: we sat on rhe porch, sat around campfire, hiked, used paddleboats, discovered history of thw property. We had a relaxed fa ily style dinner around dining room table. Went to Berea, ate dinner at boone tavern, relaxed at their bar, wwnt ro Tater Knob Pottery

Amazing cabin to get the whole family together for a 50th birthday bourbon weekend for my husband. We have zero complaints and would definitely stay here again!

Everything was fabulous! Check-in was simple. The owner provided a very thorough document about the property that includes all of the information you need. We had a wonderful family reunion here with family meeting up from 3 states. We hope to come back next year!

This was a great place for family and friends got get together. The cabin and grounds were large enough that we did not feel crowded but we always felt like we were together due to the unique layout of the cabin. We really liked the fire pit in the back. We also enjoyed the hot tub on the second floor.

Nice trip with friends

Beautiful property! Perfect for our family vacation!

The property was beautiful and well-maintained. Lots to do inside and outside. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming.

Our stay at Martin Manor was perfect for our family! We were from 3 states, in town to celebrate two graduations at EKU. Loved the historic nature of the home and the spaciousness that gave us plenty of room both to spread out and to congregate as desired. Situated in a pastoral setting, we enjoyed porch time and scenic views on all sides of the house.The owners were kind and helpful well above and beyond what is normally expected. Can't say enough good things about this home and its owners. It was just wonderful!

Has a lot if breakable items. A air matteress in the living room is not a bedroom.

The house worked great for us. Plenty of room and options. The only problem was there’s only 4 bedrooms. The 5th bedroom has 3 beds, but the only way out is to go through another bedroom. The hot tub was great. The decks were great. We even enjoyed the pond and fishing!

Had a great stay.

Enjoyed our three night stay. We had plenty of room for six ladies. Very well stocked with everything we needed. The setting is absolutely beautiful and serene. Unfortunately, the weather was chilly and rainy and we couldn't enjoy the outdoors. Thanks for sharing your log home with us.

We had a great time! There was plenty of room, it was clean and the host were so nice!

Martin Manor's description didn't do it justice. We six were overwhelmed with the character, peacefulness, and warmth of the home. Weather did not permit enjoying the paddle boats or pond, but we loved the grounds and found the house to more than meet our needs for a fellowship gathering of friends from five states. We enjoyed visiting with another friend in nearby Versailles, a bourbon tasting, and two wineries during our stay. We would definitely recommend a stay at the Martin Manor.

We enjoyed our stay in Martin Manor. It was clean and well l furnished. We had a small issue but owners went over and above and made it right. We would absolutely stay again. The owners were great to work with.

Overall, the property is wonderful and we had a great two days celebrating our dad’s birthday! 11 adults were there in total. I was satisfied and would stay again— just posting here for others who may be considering and would like details. Of course it was January when we stayed— so summer may make a diff but the temperature was inconsistent in different rooms— particularly the room off the downstairs master. There are only 2 tvs— one in the fireplace room downstairs (which we never found the Apple Remote for in order to use) and the other, in the downstairs master. (Again, didn’t matter to us, but it may to others)The downstairs 3rd “bedroom” is actually a second living room and has. O door or bed— it’s a blow up mattress. (We didn’t need this room as a bedroom— but if your looking for 6 actual bedrooms— this may not work for you)Also— the second bedroom off the master downstairs (the one pictured with three beds) , is just off the main bedroom downstairs and you have to walk through the master to get in and out of this room. Also— you can hear everything from these rooms in the upstairs game/bedroom(as there is a second set of stairs in the master bedroom that go upstairs to this room— even though there is a door that closes it off)——-AGAIN— we were there to enjoy outlet dad— so not an issue for us— but it may be for you. We couldn’t get the upstairs fireplace to light— even with the instructions— though the downstairs one worked just fine.

Beautiful property and amazing host!Communication is top notch!This was our third time staying at this homey cabin and hope to visit again in the future!

This home was beautiful and even more spacious than we expected. The host was just amazing - John did everything he could to be sure we enjoyed our vacation. He was very friendly, responsive and helpful. The fishing was great too. Highly recommend staying here!!!

We had a great time. The location was perfect for our men's golf trip. All of us enjoyed the grounds, especially the fishing. The sleeping arrangements worked out very well compared to a lot of places we have rented. Check in was easy and the owner was friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. Definitely would stay again!
