For those who want the convenience of walking around the downtown area, this is a great location. The space was clean, bright, easy to find, and secluded enough for privacy. The small outdoor deck was a quiet spot for morning coffee and news browsing. The kitchen was well-equipped and even had some bonus snack items. The bed was clean and comfortable, the bathroom was bright and convenient with a walk-in shower and bathing supplies. This was a perfect spot for two people and we would definitely stay there again.

Fantastic property. Perfectly setup for 2 adults to work remotely, one in the front room and the other at the kitchen counter. Property seemed new/fresh. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Location is super convenient to walk to restaurants/shops. Only difficulty is the parking. There is no dedicated parking for this property. You have to rely on public parking which requires moving your vehicle every day between a lot that allows daytime parking and the street that allows overnight parking.

Perfection!

So charming and comfortable, this cottage provides absolutely everything one might need. Serene, uncluttered, well designed space…plus walkable to shoppes, great restaurants, church. Every aspect was well planned and thoughtful. Communication was super prompt, friendly and clear. We will absolutely book this again next time we visit Lexington. Highly, highly recommend.

Cottage is as advertised plus more. Location was smack in the of attractions and restaurants. When asking questions the reply is quick. Cottage was clean and fully stocked. This was our first VRBO where coffee, sugar and cream was supplied so it was one less thing to pack for our trip. Bed was comfortable with enough blankets to bake under (we had to remove one of the comforter). If you forget any toiletries dont worry they have a basket of commonly used items. They think of everything for you to make your stay unforgettable. Businesses were all friendly and they remembered you if you returned. Visitor center was just around the corner and very knowledgeable on getting around town to see the sights and eateries. We had a awesome time visiting Lexington
