Maria, so glad you and your friends were able to stay again this year for your annual girls trip! I love having repeat groups!!! You are awesome guests!!
Stayed at the property for 3 nights and used it as base camp for our distillery tours. Great location near local restaurants, bars, and grocery stores. House was very clean and had everything we needed. Would stay there again.
This was our second stay at this wonderful house! We came to visit family and had a wonderful time. The house is fully equipped and the owner answered any questions we had in minutes! Highly recommend!!
This property worked out very well for our family to attend a family wedding. The host was very friendly and responsive. The property is very close to UK. There was plenty of space for everyone. We would stay here again when visiting Lexington. Thank you for a great stay!

Charming Home in Great Location
Lovely home with a beautiful kitchen and comfortable bedrooms in a great location. We stayed 5 nights and felt like we were at home! Heating/cooling system works great, bathrooms are updated and our host checked in to make sure everything was satisfactory and to see if we had any questions. Would highly recommend for anyone staying in the Lexington area.

Thank you Becky! I so enjoyed our conversations and would love to have you back!!
We had a great stay! The house had everything we needed. Cathy went above and beyond thinking of the needs of guests. The house is such a great location to shops and restaurants too. We will definitely be looking forward to staying again, next time we come to Lexington.
This house was the perfect location for a football weekend. So convenient to the stadium, walkable to Chevy Chase, and a lovely neighborhood. Clean, comfortable, roomy, well-stocked with attention to details. Owner is very responsive and helpful. We hope to stay here again!
Another great stay in this cute bungalow for Keeneland weekend with family. Walking to Josie’s for breakfast has become a tradition, and it’s an easy drive to the track on race day.

My husband and I are travelers, enjoying retirement, and some would call us nomads! We have 5 vacation rentals...all in cities we love....Lexington, Asheville, and Chattanooga and Charlotte!! Our home base is in Charlotte and we truly love our hometown city just as much!
Why they chose this property
The Lexington home is perfect for your gatherings. We have never accually lived in Lexington, but our kids attended college there...I especially love going to this house for my getaway retreat for just a few days! It's comfortable, convenient, spacious yet cozy, quiet...I love the front porch adirondacks and drink my coffee out there almost every day, weather permitting...sometimes even in the rain!
