Exceptional!

Family loved the house
My family stayed at the house for the weekend and loved the historic gem located greatly in downtown.
Warm and welcoming
Each year a group of us return to W&L to catch a game and catch up on life. Usually we rent several hotel rooms- this was so much better! Plenty of space for all of us, beautifully decorated, and a very workable kitchen (stocked with all you need, except regular glasses- but everything tastes better in a wine glass :)
We will definitely return next year!
Perfect house for a group getaway
The pictures somehow don't do this house justice - the interior is beautiful, clean, and welcoming with plenty of room for our group (4 couples). The house is located right in town with most places within walking distance. Peter was a very welcoming host - check in and check out were seamless. Overall the house is a perfect mix of historic charm and modern amenities where it counts (kitchen, bathrooms). Highly recommend!
Beautiful historic home in charming Lexington
This was a fantastic home for our family to celebrate Thanksgiving away from home. We had plenty of space to gather to play games or watch movies, but there was also space to spread out. The kitchen was fantastic, I loved the stove--cooked a perfect turkey! We would love to stay again in the future.
Fantastic home! Great location!
We were in town for a horse show at the Virginia Horse Center -- this house was perfect. Town is so close to the show grounds. House is beautiful. It was so great to come home to and enjoy the quiet backyard. And so many wonderful restaurants within walking distance. I can't wait to come back to the horse show grounds just to stay here.
Comfortable and convenient
Our group of 3 couples rented this house for a weekend in Feb and the property was a perfect fit. The bedrooms were all extremely comfortable and offered us the privacy we wanted, while the kitchen, dining room, and other living spaces were great for hanging out. The owner has done a fantastic job restoring the property - tastefully decorated and extremely well equipped. The location of the property was also excellent - we never had to fight for parking when going to dinner or breakfast. Everything, including W&L, was within walking distance. Definitely the best rental in Lex. I look forward to booking again the next time I visit.
