Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Mercer County

We had a great stay at this house! It was clean and spacious and had everything you could ask for. The dock was beautiful and was a perfect spot to hang out at. Would definitely book again when going to Herrington Lake.

I would need way more than a 1000 characters to describe how amazing Shirley and Dave were. One of the things we like to do as cigar smokers is sit around the fire pit. Each day filled our fire pit was filled with fresh lumber. We were ivited to a personal private gathering and recommended to an event that happens only twice a year. If it weren't for Shirley we would not have even known the event was happening I can go on and on.... amazing host. If you start another tier of host higher than super host put Shirley at the top of that category. Did I mention amazing?

What an amazing place to stay! The scenery was breathtaking, the owners kind, and it was so peaceful. My 16 yr old got to pet horses and talk to cows, and my 5 yr old flew a kite and had plenty of space to run around. I definitely recommend staying here for any getaway and some fresh air!

Susan was a wonderful host and her home was beautiful with a historical charm (and spotless). We had a party of 8 and it left us more than enough room for privacy and socializing. We enjoyed the small (and large) touches that made this a special and unique stay. We all enjoyed the train more than I expected and spent a late night playing family games in the dining room. The girls all enjoyed the decor for social media worthy pictures and it was fun for us to be able to get ready together in the large master bedroom and bathroom with the cutest dressing area. Prime location for distilleries and a nice break from the crowds after a day at Keeneland. We hope to return again and be able to use the outdoor space as we just ran out of time. It made for wonderful memories for everyone and I thank Susan for that opportunity and her great hospitality.

My husband and I and another couple stayed at The Blue Heron for a long weekend, hoping to get some golf in. Shelly was helpful prior to our arrival with grocery and dinner suggestions. We were able to find the place with no problems and had easy access to get in. Very quiet location. Did not see anyone the entire stay. The main house was the perfect size for 4 people. Living room/kitchen provided enough space for us all to be together. The deck would have be great space with the fire pit and outdoor seating. We just happened to come during a 4 day nonstop rain. Which did make for great sleeping. The boathouse provided space for the couple we came with. It had a queen bed, small sitting area bathroom and a great view. The main house had a great loft for the other bedroom. The bed and pillows were amazing. Although we did not get one round of golf in, we did find fun things to do in Lexington. It was very relaxing and we look forward to coming back when the weather is better/warmer.

This is my second time staying with Wayne. it's a beautiful area and Wayne is a great host!

Anessa is a great host, very responsive and her listing was everything that you should expect in an Airbnb! Very well stocked and you can tell that she puts a lot of thought into what to provide to assure that you have the best stay possible!

Loved your place. We were there during one of the worst floods in Kentucky history. Watching the river rise & feeding birds kept us entertained. Best of all was spending quite time with my daughter.

We had the best weekend! Great location but felt away from the business of Lexington! Wish we would have been able to stay longer than the weekend.

This listing in Midway was just wonderful. Beautiful location, easy check-in and access and pristine, clean unit. We booked this listing last minute due to visiting family in the area with some medical needs. The kitchen was so fully stocked we were able to prepare a few meals for family with no issues. Our request to extend the stay an extra night was accepted with kindness. If you are traveling to Midway or the greater Lexington area do not hesitate to book this lovely listing in a beautiful location.

Great location. Accurately described. Nice quiet space with all the amenities of home.

this is a very nice place in old house but very thoughtfully remodeled parking was easy all in all a nice stay!

We were doing a bourbon tour in Frankfort, but wanted to focus more of our time exploring Harrodsburg and Shaker Village, so Sharon's place was in the perfect location for a quiet retreat with our little dog. We haven't lived in the country for years, so it was wonderful to view the Pink Moon with a beautiful sky full of stars, and enjoy the amazing sunrise the following morning. It was pretty chilly when we were there, but the electric fireplace was a wonderful addition. The lovely little bistro table outside is a great place to enjoy a morning coffee, or a glass of wine or bourbon in the evening. I highly recommend, but pay attention when navigating our Kentucky country roads, as some of them are pretty narrow. We hope to visit again in the not too distant future.

Sable, my beloved black lab, and I were absolutely captivated by the amenities, the breathtaking surroundings, and the warmth of Rachel’s humble abode. Every moment we spent there was a true delight! Thank you Rachel and Airbnb!

My stay here was wonderful. The apartment is beautiful and so peaceful and serene. The bathroom is gorgeous, the bed was so comfy. Kathy was wonderful to speak to and I felt right at home. I would absolutely stay here again if I am ever back this way.

What a wonderful place to stay within easy reach of Hwy 64! I only spent one night as I was traveling through the area, but I loved the farm setting which was private, quiet, and beautiful. Rebecca was a great host and allowed me to visit with her animals while she was caring and feeding them. The apartment was clean and very comfortable with an outside patio perfect for enjoying the outdoors. I would happily stay there again as Lexington is one of my favorite places to visit and this location can't be beat, especially if you enjoy the farm setting.

We LOVED our time here. It was perfect. So peaceful. The cabin was so cozy and clean. It was decorated very cute. It had everything we needed. We loved it!! The owners were so nice and responsive. There was a boil water advisory while we were there (due to the floods), and they brought us bottled water. Definitely a place I want to come back to.

What a lovely place!! We needed a little peace and quiet & that’s exactly what we got. Fishing was so much fun & much of the gear was provided. Amenities & necessities were spot on, and the house was super clean & so charming. The hot tub was the icing on the cake! Definitely going on our favorites list!

Affordable, beautiful and unique little place perfect for a couple, but we are proof it even works for a family of 4 😊 Kim and Ryan were very attentive and responded immediately to every question we had and made every step of our stay easy and enjoyable. We really loved the playground and all the animals, especially the cats who were very friendly...and the goats as well! We will definitely be back for our next trek down south! Thanks so much!

The cabin was beautiful. Very peaceful and quiet. It was very clean and nicely furnished. We felt right at home. Very comfy. We loved having a fire at night. The donkeys were cute and we had a visit from their dog. We were in the middle of the bourbon trail and got to go to several distilleries. Nice location. We enjoyed our stay.

We had a great stay, perfect for attending a wedding at a nearby venue. Would definitely stay again!

We love this place! It's so perfectly appointed. We're a group of older women who go away together on a regular basis. 1.) We need to have enough beds that we don't have to share one (but will if its a king). No one needs to share here! We almost all get our own rooms which is incredibly wonderful!! 2.) Our mission is to get away from life for a few days and hang out together. The main living room offers plenty of seating for most - with super comfortable seats with reclining and foot rests - all circle the wood burning fireplace. Heaven! 3.) The kitchen has everything you'll need - and I say that on behalf of the 10+ plus women who have cooked for decades. 4.) Bridgette is so great with communication and responded quickly to our requests and even offered more than we asked we asked for, thank you Bridgette!!

Our family recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful cabin on the lake, and it truly felt like home. The perfect getaway! The cabin was well-equipped with everything we needed, and the peaceful surroundings allowed us to relax and unwind. Whether it was enjoying a morning coffee on the porch or spending evenings by the fire, every moment was special. The kids even caught fish ! I highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat—it’s a place where you can truly feel at home!"

Quiet, peaceful, and serene. The cabin is reminiscent of days gone by as they say. Updated nicely and well cared for. We enjoyed our stay in spite of the rainy weather while we were there. It is close to Lexington for restaurants and shops. Also a beautiful drive through the horse farms to get there!
