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.

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.

Had a great stay! Electricity went out during a storm so they moved me to another place and even helped me load my stuff and unload. Very nice at both places and they couldn’t have been nicer. Thank you all so much!

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.

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.

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!

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.
