Morrison Cabin Offers The Finest Interiors, Unique History & Very Best Location

Historic Morrison Cabin is the oldest home in Lexington on its original foundation. It was built by John Morrison in 1787 when Kentucky was still a part of Virginia. John Morrison was one of Lexington's founders. He built the home for his wife, the first woman to live in Lexington. It is ideally located in historic Gratz Park, across the street from Transylvania University.
Morrison Cabin has been meticulously restored, offering all modern amenities while maintaining its historical elegance and integrity. Guests will be just a few short blocks and within easy walking distance to the Lexington Convention Center, Opera House, Rupp Arena, and the best dining and nightlife Lexington has to offer. Free off street parking is available directly behind the cabin. The location offers convenient and easy access to Keeneland, the Kentucky Horse Park, The University of Kentucky, Commonwealth Stadium, Kentucky's famous horse farms and distilleries.

Friends & Family Getaway

Loved the history and charming personality of the cabin! Our group of seven wanted a unique place to stay and the Morrison Cabin was ideal. In addition to all the modern amenities, the beds were comfortable, plenty of hot water and easy access to local restaurants and attractions. Communication with John was great, we highly recommend this gem!

Charming, Comfortable, Clean, and Great Location!

My girlfriends and I loved staying in this cabin. It is both quaint and historical with comfortable, clean, and modern provisions. The neighborhood is adorable and it's a 5 minute walk to downtown. Honestly I do not have a single complaint, other than I wish we'd had a bit more time to spend in the cabin!

Comfortable cabin in convenient location

Comfortable cabin in convenient location. Clean, well appointed, and walkable to Rupp and several restaurants. Only complaint was the street noise due to proximity to a fairly busy intersection. Stayed over a holiday weekend and heard several emergency vehicles throughout the night.

Great place and incredible value

The house was very nice and clean. It was also exactly as represented. A great location and easy walking distance. The owners called to make sure I didn't need anything at all. I will be back for sure.
