Aurora, Kentucky

 

Hitching Post in Aurora Kentucky

Beautiful Aurora, Kentucky is conveniently located near lots of water fun!  Kenlake State Resort Park is only one of the nearby attractions. The Hitching Post is a favorite spot for tourists as well as locals. If you love antiques, The Hitching Post (which boasts some of the friendliest workers in the world) is your place.  Friendliness is one of the first words I think of when I think of Aurora.  People at The Willow Pond, The Brass Lantern, Aurora BBQ, The Hitching Post, Kenlake State Resort Park, and Dixie Dogs (yes, Dixie Dogs!) are so friendly you’re certain they’re mistaking you for long lost family members.

    Johnnie,
    I’ve never had their prime rib, but I’m sure it’s out of this world. I certainly agree with the service. Great people and very, very, very friendly. Beautiful restaurant, too! – Joi
