Birthdays Celebration

Came to Lexington to celebrate my sister's 70th birthday & our friend from collage days birthday. Jen's home was the perfect location as we visited places in Lexington, Midway, & Frankfort. We enjoyed the lovely & private brick patio, the home was very clean & spacious & the beds were very comfortable. Jen responded quickly when I had a question.I would recommend Jen's place to anyone! I'd rate this place a 10!!

Absolutely perfect!

We don’t have a single complaint or suggestion. It was so clean, and it had everything we needed. The beds, linens, and furniture were so comfortable and the shower had good water pressure. We loved that it had the charm of an older home, but with all modern conveniences. I cannot say enough about how easy it was to communicate with the property manager. We will be back.

Great House with Private Back Patio and Yard

We had a family wedding at Gratz Park to which the house was so conveniently located. The neighborhood is in the process of purchases and updates which will make this house even better! My kids loved the snacks the host provided and the bang for your buck on the nightly cost is of great value.

Perfect stay!

The house was exactly as pictured on the listing! So many great details, and the decor was so cute! We really enjoyed our stay. You're able to walk into town in less than 20 minutes, and the house was very spacious. We were there with two adults and two small children, and it was exactly what we needed! Great place to stay with the family. Nice big backyard short walking distance into town, overall, A perfect stay!

Horse show rental

Stayed here for USEF Pony Finals. House has plenty of room. Great water pressure in master bath shower. Cute decor and not hard to get to from KY Horse Park-@15 minutes. House is in a sketchy neighborhood though and house is starting to show signs of needing repair and a deep clean and needs lightbulb replacement in multiple kitchen light fixtures. House was well stocked. Overall suited our needs.

The Spot

We stayed her for a girls' trip and loved it! It was well decorated, clean, and a perfect size. It was close to food and shops. The owner thought of everything. This was one of the best stocked homes I have stayed in. We loved the horse decor and the thoughtfulness of the owners. I would stay her if ever back in the area!

Great bourbon weekend!

Three couples had a great stay. Plenty of room for everyone. Appreciated the off-street parking. It is very quiet at the end of a dead end street. Neighborhood looks a bit rundown, but no issues at all. We walked downtown for dinner when our Uber cancelled. Kitchen was functional, beds were comfy. Everything was updated and nicely decorated. My brother-in-law loved the bird cage chair. We would definitely stay again!

Gameday Weekend

We were 3 adult couples in town for the Georgia-Kentucky football game. This place is in a transitioning neighborhood in a good way, it's trending up definitely. It's near the end of a dead end street so there's no traffic to worry about. We walked from here to downtown on our way to Kroger Field (a long walk, but with pop-ins to various bars, etc, it's not so bad - definitely parked a car on campus to drive home after the game). Post-game - midnightish - we walked from the house to a nearby corner with a couple of bars (a dive and an arcade themed) for post-game fun. We felt fine walking that bit after dark. We went on a morning walk by lovely Bluegrass Trust properties, Transy U., downtown Lexington, and back with a park or two along the way. The space is lovely, clean, and more than accommodating. The host was responsive to the only issue and even that was more our fault than anything. It all worked out. I would definitely stay here again. The beds were very comfortable. 5 out of 5 would again, as they say.
