Great property in the perfect location for exploring downtown Lexington. The townhouse is huge and had plenty of room for our party of 8 to spread out. The living room and dining table were perfect for gathering. The decor was very nice in a fun style. Beds were comfortable. We were able to walk to restaurants otherwise it was a quick inexpensive Uber ride. Our host was very responsive to my questions both before and during our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

Gregory's house was perfect for our guys trip to Lexington. Perfect proximity 5-10 min walking distance to Rupp Arena and the downtown area. House was super clean and had everything we needed. Communication with Gregory at checkin and check-out was exceptional. He even had a couple of suggestions for where we should go out.

Thank you, Vickie. I’m so glad that you and your group enjoyed your stay!
This property is awesome !!! 4 couples weekend at Keeneland.
Walking distance downtown. Home was clean and decorated very nice. WE are hoping to rent again next April.
We used this property during our wedding weekend. My husband and his groomsmen stayed here the night before our wedding. It was a lovely space and perfect for a bunch of couples to stay and each be very comfortable and have their own space. Great location in downtown Lexington. I would definitely stay here again.

Family and friends weekend for Kentucky football game
This house is spectacular and that does not even come close to describing this home!
Fantastic location, tons of room, beautifully decorated! We will definitely book through this owner for all of our upcoming trips!
We enjoyed our stay at Greg’s Rental and it was even better than in the photos! You can’t find a better location for downtown Lexington and the Gratz Park area is top notch. Greg was very accommodating and met us when we checked in. The home is lovely with top end furnishings. Thanks for a wonderful 3 night stay!

Thank you, Eric. I'm thrilled to know that you enjoyed the property and your time in Lexington. I hope you'll stay with us again :)
We've stayed at numerous rental homes...this house is absolutely one of the most beautiful homes and exceeded all others as far as being furnished and the thoughtful placement of mirrors and outlets. The house layout is perfect for providing privacy and multiple spaces to hang out. We hope it will be available, the next time we stay in Lexington.
