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. ##### Diane S.

This log cabin on VRBO turned out to be the ideal choice for our party of 9. It provided the perfect balance of staying together while enjoying individual rooms, beds, and bathrooms. The cabin facilitated our needs perfectly, allowing us to share meals and engage in board games we brought along. The picturesque surroundings added to the charm, and we even had the delightful opportunity to feed apples to the horses. We unanimously agreed that if we ever find ourselves back in Richmond, this would be our go-to place without a doubt. Our experience was made even better by the fantastic host who was a pleasure to work with. A big thank you for hosting us and making our stay so memorable! ##### Carrie D.

We traveled from San Diego to Martin Manor for a 5 day getaway after reading the book Giver of Stars. Martin Manor just could not have provided our group with a more memorable experience. The log cabin is very spacious, comfortable and so welcoming from the very first step you take through the front door. You will love the charm of every nook and cranny of this beautiful home. Beyond the beauty and charm of this log cabin, the grounds are just breath taking, a little slice of Heaven on earth. The host family, The Martins, were gracious, kind, loving and giving beyond! We all felt like we gained a new part of our family after spending time here. We will all definitely be back some day. ##### Anita D. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martina W. 3 Sept 2018 #### Beautiful cabin! We had a wonderful, relaxing weekend with our family. There were 3 families with kids ages 8-18 plus grandma and we had plenty of room for everyone. The pond was a refreshing swim temperature & also fishing fun! The hot tub was great for finishing off each day. Things we did at Martin Manor: swam, fished, slept on hammocks, played games, roasted marshmallows, karaoke (off our laptop) & fed the horses. The kitchen is very well stocked and you won’t need any extra items. We brought 2 crocks but there was already one there. Maybe an additional skillet (non stick of some kind) would have been handy for eggs & French toast but we managed without. The dining room table was perfect size for meals and games. ##### Martina W.

Decades later, we returned to visit the old home places and spend time together—but there's no where big enough for all of us to stay together in Salyersville. The best solution was Martin Manor! We spent the weekend basking in this gorgeous, unique space. No one had ever seen a house like it: It's got two log cabins in it! The kids loved the hot tub, paddle boats, and the animals that can be found everywhere. We loved the comfy beds, calming views, and porch swings. Our hosts were the best hosts I've ever experienced—they rushed straight home from church to snap some family photos of us before we had to get on the road. They were always helpful and sweet. Treat yourself to a memorable stay here! ##### Rebecca F. Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katheen L. 28 Sept 2018 #### Beyond what we expected for our family get-together! Martin Manor was a lovely log home with a wonderful legacy to offer us! We were greeted by the owner, Dinah, and her 2 sweet "guard dogs". She gave us a quick tour of the place then left us to settle in. The grounds are beautiful with fishing ponds, horses, porches and hammocks. The log home is filled with the Martin family momentos and historical keepsakes! The collection of local pottery is quite extensive, even the "everyday" dishes are locally made. While it rained the entire time we were in Kentucky, it was a perfectly pleasant time for us. The owners felt so bad that the rain never stopped, they brought us a surprise to share! The hot tub was a favorite at the end of the day, a nice place to unwind and chat. There is so much room in this special house that we each had places to read, play cards or do crafts. If you are considering this place for your next get away, don't hesitate...book it! You won't be sorry. ##### Katheen L. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carolyn H. 2 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place for a group to stsy Martin Manor was a great place for our group of 5 couples and 1 single to stay for our 50th college reunion. There was space galore and a beautiful view of the lake/pond. Even though there was a hot tub and also activities at the lake, we really did not have time to use them. My husband and I did enjoy the paddle boats on the last day. There are two sets of stairs leading upstairs which really helped with our group. The kitchen was well stocked with pans, plates and dinnerware, although I forgot to look in the island storage the first day! The dining room table could accommodate 8-12 people. The king suite on the first floor was very roomy. A smaller bedroom with a double and 2 twins opened into that room. There were three bedrooms with queens upstairs. The 6th bedroom was actually a living room but could become a bedroom with the use of an air mattress or fold out couch. It was a beautiful place for our reunion. The owner was next door and very helpful when we had questions. ##### Carolyn H. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Stephen M. 26 May 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very nice house on idyllic property We had a great stay at John’s house. It is a really fun house with a beautiful wrap around porch, a nice backyard and a pond you can paddle boat on. A couple notes: - If you have significant mold allergies you probably want to avoid this house. It is old and in a humid climate. We had a member of our group that ended up having to get a hotel because the mold smell was too bad, but she is very sensitive to it. - You technically can swim in the pond, but I wouldn’t recommend on planning on it. It is great for paddle boating on, but it has a lot of algae. - The house is in a rural area which comes with its positives and negatives. The outside furniture was less than ideal cleanliness wise because it seems the birds tend to like to sit on it to do their business on the regular. So just be prepared to clean it if that kind of thing bothers you. ##### Stephen M.

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! ##### Charlene S.

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! ##### Ken L.
