Perfect place for guys trip

Gregory's house was perfect for our guys trip to Lexington. Perfect proximity 5-10 min walking distance to Rupp Arena and the downtown area. House was super clean and had everything we needed. Communication with Gregory at checkin and check-out was exceptional. He even had a couple of suggestions for where we should go out.

Beautiful and fully furnished.

We've stayed at numerous rental homes...this house is absolutely one of the most beautiful homes and exceeded all others as far as being furnished and the thoughtful placement of mirrors and outlets. The house layout is perfect for providing privacy and multiple spaces to hang out. We hope it will be available, the next time we stay in Lexington.

Great stay

Gregory’s place offered what I would consider a rare balance between being beautifully decorated and yet feeling comfortable and accessible. We have often been frustrated by rentals in the area having less than the bare minimum, This place restored our faith. It was extremely well stocked. I still don’t understand how the parking permit works because it seems like other people would be able to park out front on the weekend, but we had no trouble and were parking on a parade day, and the garage was also very convenient. all in all this is an excellent place and an excellent location. The only drawback is that Broadway is loud, the house is right on it. Anywhere in downtown Lexington is very loud because of motorcycles and ambulances, But a lot of the through traffic is on Broadway. I woke up a lot at night even with earplugs in. But for some people this is a non-issue. I would recommend this rental to anyone apart from that issue.

Graduation Weekend

Beautiful home walking distance from Rupp. Gregory was there to greet us upon check in and was kind and considerate. We really enjoyed our time in this very comfortable and well appointed property. Being able to walk to Rupp Arena was such a bonus because traffic and parking would have been very stressful on such a busy weekend! We would definitely stay here again.

Army buddies and their wives

We all met in Lexington at this wonderful home to fellowship and hit the bourbon trail. Gregory, the owner of this lovely home was fantastic from the point of booking until checkout. He met us at the house when we arrived and gave us a complete tour. The home was wonderfully appointed, from the bedrooms and bathrooms to the kitchen and gathering areas. We were in need of nothing. All the basics were provided. Throughout the weekend, there were many comments from our group as to how much we enjoyed staying here. Gregory, thank you for the use of one of your homes and for your gracious hospitality.

UK graduation

We have stayed at this property multiple times mainly because the owner is amazing and the house accommodates everyone. We brought our daughter’s three octogenarian grandparents to see her graduation and they were very mobile and comfortable. The layout of the Helm House is fantastic and very close to everything in downtown Lex.

Great property!

We just returned from a long weekend in Lexington at this property and thoroughly enjoyed it. The property was clean and the listing was accurate. We had a maintenance issue that required attention from the owner (Gregory) on our first day, we texted him on our way out the door and he was there with a handyman within the hour and the issue was resolved before we returned. We would definitely stay here again!

Great townhouse

We really enjoyed the townhouse and Greggory is a wonderful host. The location is perfect for walking downtown. The only thing we didn’t care for was how noisy it was at night. We are from a very quiet street at home so this was our only compliant. Everything is else is perfect, there were 10 of us staying in the home.
