Awesome Time!!!!
I recently stayed in the Kentucky Daisy in the Stone Lion. This was my 2nd visit to the Stone Lion and I plan on going back again. I went during a 20's themed mystery the first time and a 40's themed mystery this time. When I called to schedule my murder mystery the receptionist went out of her way to make sure I didn't get the same plot twice. Upon arrival we were met at the door by the owner, Becky. Becky was very kind to us and showed us to the living area to wait for another employee Michelle, to check us in. We were then given our clues and showed to our suite. The suite was absloutely beautiful. The only thing I MAY change is that the doors do not have locks. That being said, NO ONE at the Stone Lion went into our room unless they found us and asked us if it'd be okay if they looked at our room. I could, however, see how this could be a problem if you ended up with a less than honest group of guests. After getting settled in our rooms, we got dressed and headed down to the living area to meet the other guests and have hors d'oeuvres. Shortly after, we met in the kitchen where we had a wonnnnderful dinner. The salad was amazing and I've been trying to replicate the soup since. The dinner was HUGE and delicious. We got to meet with other guests and had a great time chatting over candlelight. After dinner we began the mystery. We read our clues in order and the host, who was also in character (a very funny one at that) and told us each when it was our turn. She kept us laughing the majority of the time. After the mystery was over we all visited a while then crashed for the night. In the morning we met for a big, tasty breakfast while Becky visited us and told us the ghost stories associated with the Inn. She is very accommodating and jumped up before any of us could get up to get drink refills. She is a wonderful story teller and kept all of our attention and kept us laughing all morning. I would recommend anyone to visit this Inn. The only slight problem we encountered was it was slightly warm in our room. However, when we opened the window the temperature was perfect. I can't understand why there are any bad reviews. Yes, the owner sometimes pokes fun when things are passed incorrectly which, to anyone with a sense of humor, is hilarious! I've been the "butt of the joke" and couldn't stop laughing, myself. Perhaps people are being a bit too serious on their vacations... 5 stars from me!!
