It's rare to find a place that's both historic & one-of-a-kind

It's rare to find a place that's both historic & one-of-a-kind. That's exactly what you are going to get at The Beaumont Parlor! Formerly an old milk barn & milk parlor for the City of Harrodsburg, this newly restored unit features old world charm & all the modern amenities a guest could ask for. Featuring a King bed, Queen Sleeper Sofa & Full Bathroom.

The Owner's have spared no expense and you will find charm at every angle. Guests will be able to walk to Beaumont Inn & Downtown Harrodsburg

Guest can walk to Historic Beaumont Inn for dinner or to Downtown Harrodsburg. Beaumont Ave is full of charm and historic homes. Perfect for a late night stroll after touring Central Kentucky!

Harrodsburg, was founded in 1774 by a stalwart band of pioneers led by James Harrod, of Pennsylvania. It was the only “colonial” city and the first permanent English settlement west of the Allegheny mountains. Referred to as the “Birthplace of the West,” Harrodsburg has a proud and remarkable heritage.

Full of history and charm, Harrodsburg is allows guests to step back in time and be surrounded by the beauty of the Bluegrass. Centrally located, guests are able to Live Like A Local and experience the best of Central Kentucky.

Tucked off of Beaumont Ave, this recently renovated Milk Parlor offers guests a unique and modern stay experience. Guests will be dazzled by the eclectic and one of a kind décor.

Guests can walk to local attractions, but the best way to navigate Harrodsburg & Central Kentucky is by vehicle.

Wonderful Cottage

This was our second time staying at Beaumont Parlor. The cottage is well maintained and comfortable and the host really goes a step beyond supplying bathroom amenities and kitchen extras. The beds are comfortable and the overall vibe is so cozy. The location is within walking distance of downtown where there are several small shops and restaurants. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely Place, Lovely Location

This property was just what we needed. Very spacious. well-appointed and quiet. A little hard to find as it’s behind two other houses, but worth the search. Location also has many historic markers within walking distance, so we enjoyed a fun walk.

Perfect little red barn

I am in love with this cozy space. Really close to main street. Easy drive out to visit friends on Lake Herrington. Parking is good. I loved my time with my best friend having coffee and just hanging out. We will definitely want to stay here again.

Unique and Lovely Home

We were visiting family nearby and booked this home for our stay. It is nestled in an old established neighborhood, convenient to local shops and restaurants, but secluded enough to provide privacy. We loved the way it offered modern perks while retaining the ambiance of the original structure. We hope to be able to stay here again the next time we're in Harrodsburg.

We only stayed one night, but loved our time as a family here. We went to the local Kroger and picked up groceries and cooked a nice meal. We had everything we needed. Thoughtful touches included snacks and waters. Loved the decor. The bed was very comfortable. Quite spacious and it was nice to do our laundry. Quiet area and felt private. We would stay here again.

Quaint in historic district

What fun to stay in this cute place in this beautiful historic district of Harrodsburg! We enjoyed hearing the rain pelt the metal roof as we stayed secure and dry. Nice selection of games in the old bank safe. Comfortable beds and bedding. The owners thought of everything. Thank you for sharing.

Asbury Seminary Hybrid Class

The property was great! Clean and comfortable. The house had everything i could have needed from kitchen utensils to the layndry room. Plus the owner/landlords are fabulous and super responsive! It was the perfect place for a hybrid class at Asbury Seminary which is only a 25 minute drive. 10/10 would recommend!

Property is as described. Beautiful neighborhood. Quiet. OK, the metal roof is a bit noisy when it rains but it's just part of the experience. This was a historical working barn! Very well supplied with everything you needed including smacks

Great house for a family

This house was wonderful! There were 4 of us, our teenagers got separate beds with the twin futon and pull out underneath (both mattresses comfortable), which is always a plus! There was also a pull out sofa if needed. So many pillow and great blankets! Which is great if you are traveling. You will need to bring. Plenty of basic supplies (soap, trash bags, shampoo). Plenty of towels for our size. Could not ask for anything more from this listing! The area does not have a lot to do, be aware of that.

Back to Kentucky

Four years ago we visited this area and loved the rolling hills, the quaint towns, Harrodsburg and Danville and, of course, Shaker Village. Then we were along the river and across from the Palisades. This time we chose to be closer in and stayed in the historic Milk Parlor and what a delight it was. It was equally as quiet as down at the river but only a short walk into town, which was part of our daily routine. We had all the comforts of home and we were surprised at the spacious accommodations, comfortable bed and well equipped kitchen, although this time we did more dinning out. We loved the Old Owl Tavern, and lunch and dinner at Shaker village. There was nothing lacking which made our 5 days there most memorable. We would love to return again someday and maybe we will!

The good and the bad

I have given 5 stars because I believe most of my negatives are either personal preference or something that the host will fix once they know.ProsVery cute house. Nicely decorated. Plenty of room.Included Netflix was nice to not have to figure out my password.Great location. Quick walk into down town. Or walk the neighborhood with really neat old houses lined with old fashion light posts.Amazingly quiet for how many apartments are nearby.The host has thought of everything as far as necessity or convenience. Well stocked. I brought TP and paper towels because some places are chincy. There was plenty of both. ConsOutdoor pictures online are misleading. All cute decorations on front porch are no longer there. It was bare and dirty.Pictures also gave the impression you were in a more open area with some buildings behind you. There is a house right outside the front door with enough room to park 2 cars. They were totally quite the whole time, I was just expecting an open area which is specifically why I chose this house over rentals in Lexington that were in neighborhoods.Housekeeping needs to do better. Our tub had not been cleaned. There was a ball of hair in the bottom and soap scum that accumulated around a bottle on the shelf.The bed. Totally subjective. I know many people loved it. We slept so bad and woke up with such back pain we actually left a night early.All in all, if the bed were different we would totally go back.

I'd seen in reviews that others had challenges with locating the driveway and using the entry keypad--and we did too. The following would have helped:- Noting that there is a red house number attached to a telephone pole and there is a historical marker next to the driveway.- Noting that after the code is entered, turn the dial left or right to lock/unlock the door.We enjoyed our stay. The accommodations were comfortable, the various treats were appreciated, and it was in a nice section of town, with easy access to get on main roads.

The property is beautiful and comfortable. The only thing that I would change would be to have been told that the property is at the end of a alley/driveway. I had difficulty reaching it and was nervous about driving down to the end of the driveway.
