The NoLi District (North Limestone) is a lively & vibrant neighborhood in transition just north of downtown Lexington. You'll notice lots of revitalization happening on every block, from restored homes to renovated boutique businesses. You will see some buildings in need of repair. You will also see people that might not look like you. Our guests love the location, the proximity to downtown & the homey getaway we created in such a central location.

Only steps from our home, you can visit Al's Bar, Backroads Bakery, SRO - (standing room only) an authentic japanese happy hour bar, Arcadium - an arcade bar, Favor - fantastic restaurant behind Arcadium, Rock House Brewing, Minton's (brunch every day!) & the eclectic Julietta Market at Greyline Station.

A 10-minute walk will lead you to the Central Bank Arena. The Distillery District is 10 mins. away by car. The Ky Horse Park, Keeneland & the airport are 15-minutes away. If you bring your bikes, you can enjoy the Legacy Trail - a 12-mile shared use greenway that connects downtown with area neighborhoods, parks & historic sites. Hop on just 2 blocks away & cycle through downtown to the Kentucky Horse Park, savoring the character that makes Lexington truly unique.

We have taken great care to provide everything you might want in a vacation getaway. We think you'll love the plush memory foam mattresses (green certified), 100% cotton sheets (green certified), down-alternative comforters, the well-appointed kitchen, thoughtful bathroom amenities, LG laundry tower, plus games. Off-street parking is available for 2 cars behind the house on Harry Street. There’s also street parking in front of the house (free).
The surrounding neighborhood is very walkable. Uber & Lyft are also available.

NOTE: We highly recommend travel insurance. If you need to cancel for any reason at any time, a processing fee will be deducted from your refund, regardless of the cancellation policy.

The location was great for what we needed. The house was very clean and they definitely went overboard on amenities. Everything you could need was there amd more. We will absolutely be booking here when we visit Lexington again next!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
The house itself was wonderful, and the owners responsive. However, I was very surprised by the surrounding area. As a female traveling alone, I did not feel safe whatsoever. I also did not feel comfortable to have guests over, which was my sole reason for renting this specific property. This property in another location would be delightful. On a more positive note, the owners were responsive to my questions and were flexible when I thought I would arrive a few hours earlier. It would be nice if there was a coffee maker with pods rather than a drip, as well as available creamer, even dried, for coffee rather than just sugar. Overall, I can't recommend the property due to the security of the surrounding area and that nothing in the property description indicated as such. The omission of this information is not appropriate as it is obvious upon arrival. I had to have my two sons and his friends come in the front door and leave through the back so neighbors wouldn't know I was in the property alone.

A perfect bungalow

We absolutely loved the place. There were a couple of local bars we could walk to . It was great place to tour the bourbon trail from. The kitchen was fabulous for our Thanksgiving dinner. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. It’s close to the university and downtown. A perfect location. We will stay here again when we visit again.

Amazing Getaway Place!

As a group, we came down to celebrate our sons and their Senior Year at UK. The house was perfect for our weekend. It was spacious for us to gather for a mini-happy hour before going out to dinner. The house was VERY clean and with the 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, it was perfect for the five moms. The owner made sure we had everything we needed, and great with communication. Highly recommend!
