Creekside Cottage is a winner

Creekside Cottage was a perfect choice for us- Grandparents and 11 year old granddaughter. She loved the upper room, although it did get quite hot. This cottage had everything… perfect location, impeccably decorated with every amenity you could imagine. We didn’t have a chance to spend much time on the deck but I can imagine it the perfect place to relax for an evening. Our granddaughter loved the turtles & ducks she found on the stream! If and when we return to Lexington, this would be our go to place! Thank you for providing such lovely accommodations!

Sparkling clean and a great location !

This property was sparkling clean and we really enjoyed our stay in this quiet quaint neighborhood that was perfectly located to downtown restaurants and near Keenland for the racing weekend. It should be noted that although this property was perfect for me and my adult children, if there were 2 couples staying - there may be some problems because of the disparity in the sleeping situation. One room is a luxurious master suite with a private bath. The other is really only appropriate for kids. The attic bedroom is a LONG way to the downstairs bathroom if you need to get up in the night. I ended up using the downstairs pullout couch instead, which meant I had no privacy. Not a problem for our group - but it should be noted.

Lovely Cottage Home

We attended the high school sweet 16 basketball state tournament which was held at Rupp arena and the location could not have been better for us. The cottage is exactly as described and had all the amenities for a short or long stay. We had a wonderful time at this peaceful home and would highly recommend it for anyone considering Lexington as their destination.

Vacation with son’s family

A clean and comfortable home. The attic type bedroom was a bit smaller than we expected. Otherwise we had an enjoyable time.

OK Stay

Our stay was a very quiet one in an older but very nice neighborhood. It is located close to town, main streets, shopping, and restaurants with easy access to interstates. This cottage was very tastefully decorated, and the downstairs was extremely comfortable. However, not knowing what a Cape Cod house was, I was disappointed in the cramped bedroom upstairs which had no bathroom. No bathroom at night and having to negotiate stairs for senior adults was not desirable. This house is perfect for a couple with smaller children. The easy-flowing creek on the side of the house was a plus, and kids would enjoy it. I might add that our host, Kathy, was very sweet and accommodating, always available when we had questions.

June 9th visit

This quaint house was perfect for our needs during a weekend stay. A couple of friends and I were in town for a funeral and needed a relaxing place to gather. The house was clean, comfortable and centrally located. Even though the the indoor space was pleasant, we spent most of the time enjoying the front porch. The weather was excellent for porch sitting. The street was quiet and there was enough parking. I believe the only thing I might change is having the check out time at 11:00 instead of 10:00. Other than that, everything else was fine!

This quite home was perfect for a getaway in Lexington. I couldn't have found any better and the experience was far more delightful than staying in a hotel. I will definitely book another week here!!

Neat and convenient

Clean and neat little house. It is at the end of a dead end street helping to keep it quiet even though a lot of typical shopping is a block away. Check in is as easy as it gets. Shower is in master en-suite so the entire group has to use/go thru mbr.

Quaint Cottage

We had a wonderful stay for 10 nights in this adorable cottage. My kids loved playing in the creek and the location was perfect-close to downtown and tons of restaurants. Super clean and had everything we needed to be comfortable. The neighbors were all super friendly and the close proximity to the airport was ideal after delayed flights.
