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.
