About this house rental
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.

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!
