Wonderful Location!
This house was perfectly located for our plans in Lexington! We were able to walk to brunch at The Apiary and to other good, eclectic spots to eat. It was a very short drive to other places we wanted to go. We enjoyed staying in an historic property that is more unique than most rentals and found it less formal than the photos may make it appear. We easily found everything we needed for our stay here (but I confess that I didn’t cook given the many options to eat out nearby!). The host provided detailed information prior to our arrival which we appreciated.

We are very pleased we decided to stay at this property instead of a hotel. The location is in a beautiful historic neighborhood within walking distance of many restaurants. Getting to the Kentucky Horse Park was an easy 15 min drive. To top it off the beds were very comfortable and it was impeccably clean. In addition, our host was very responsive when we had questions. Thanks for a great location for our girls weekend!

Perfect cottage in downtown Lexington!
Beautiful historic cottage overlooking Transy campus and walking distance to wonderful shops and dining. Well appointed with everything you will need for your stay. Comfortable back patio with many shade trees. Broadway can be quite noisy, so if you are a light sleeper you may want to bring a noise machine or earplugs. No issues with parking and the owner was very responsive when we had a question about the tv. Fun weekend in a lovely setting.

A wonderful, renovated property in a nice neighborhood with excellent access to everywhere in Lex. Easy parking and a nice patio area with great outdoor seating. The 6 beds all had good mattresses. Host was kind and knowledgeable. Would definitely stay here again.

Great walkability, parking, and everything we needed!
It’s not often you find a house to stay at right in the midst of downtown that is walkable to food, drinks, and attractions and still has enough parking (3 cars in our group) anytime of day that you might leave and come back, but this place was perfect! We walked to some of our weekend fun and food and drove to others, no problem either way! Despite being historic and therefore “old,” the home’s AC kept up perfectly in the August heat and the amenities and appliances were all very modern and up to date. The furnishings and decor had a historic charm to them and the beds were all very comfortable (bedroom 1: two fulls, bedroom 2: two twins, bedroom 3: two queens). Each bedroom had enough space that we could choose any of them to set up a pack n play we brought for a baby, and we were delighted to find there was even a rocking chair which was so helpful with putting a baby to sleep in a new environment. Being so centrally located, some engine revving and sirens can be heard periodically even when using a white noise machine - however this did not hinder anyone in my party’s sleep during our stay. The upstairs bathroom has an amazingly long and spacious double vanity outside the toilet/shower door - so perfect for several people to be able to prepare all at once! In the kitchen, we found everything we needed during our stay. The hosts were responsive and seem to have thought of everything!

Awesome stay!
We had an excellent experience!! Great communication with the owner who corrected a double booking issue by keeping the stress and anxiety levels low and with a quick solution. The house is amazing, the newly renovated kitchen and baths, the decorations, well stocked kitchen, parking and location are incredible! The special touches and care readily come through. We would rent from the owner again when back in Lexington!
