We live nearby, but give guests privacy.

Jefferson Street & the Historic Western Suburb is a lively & vibrant neighborhood in the west section of downtown Lexington. You'll notice some revitalization happening nearby, from restored residences to new businesses in formerly-abandoned buildings. We are located on a one-way alley with some run down homes in need of repair, along with other homes that have been renovated. Our street is home to a diverse mix of renters & homeowners. Only a couple blocks from our home, you can visit West 6th Brewery, Smithtown Seafood, County Club, The Green Lantern, Blue Stallion Brewery, The Blue Heron Steakhouse, Distilled, Stella's Deli & Sorella Gelateria. A 5-minute walk will take you to Gatton Park, Rupp Arena & the Central Bank Convention Cente. A 5 minute drive or 10 minute walk will take you to the Distillery District, with restaurants, shops, distilleries, breweries, bars, an ice cream shop & bourbon tastings. Keeneland, the KY Horse Park & the airport are 10-15 minutes away. If you bring your bikes, you can enjoy the Legacy Trail - a 12-mile shared use greenway that connects downtown with area neighborhoods, parks & historic sites. Hop on near our house on West 4th or at West 6th Brewery & ride to the Kentucky Horse Park, savoring the character that makes Lexington truly unique! Also, be sure to be on the lookout for the many murals & public art throughout our neighborhood & downtown!

Guests will have access to the entire home, inside & out. An open kitchen/living space, 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms & a private back patio.

We have taken great care to provide everything you might want in a vacation getaway. The primary bedroom features a king bed, 55" smart TV, walk-in closet w/ luggage rack, hangers, a dresser, a small fan, hand-held steamer, iron & ironing board + & a private en suite with a tiled shower where we provide shampoo, conditioner & body wash that’s good for your hair & the planet. The additional 2 bedrooms feature queen beds, spacious closets with hangers, a luggage rack, a dresser and a shared bathroom with a tub/shower combo, tile surround and a large vanity with drawers for your personal belongings. We provide shampoo, conditioner & body wash in this bathroom too. We think you'll love the plush memory foam mattresses (green certified), down-alternative comforters & the well-appointed kitchen with dining service for 12, local coffee, a variety of tea, sugar & sugar-free packets, an electric tea kettle, 2 coffee makers & a french press. Street parking (free) is available in front of the home or on the adjacent intersecting street.

The surrounding neighborhood is very walkable. Lexington offers bus service, but it's not very efficient for getting around in a timely manner. Uber & Lyft are available. Bird/Spin scooters can be found in & near downtown. Bike racks are plentiful.

If we can do anything to make your visit more enjoyable, please let us know! We are very familiar with local restaurants, bars, breweries, shopping & local events. We want you to have the BEST time & come back often! (And tell your friends how great Lexington is!)
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We stayed here while attending a horse show at the Kentucky Horse Park, and it was a great place. Quick & easy drive to the horse park, and there were several restaurants within walking distance. We were able to park right in front of the house for our whole stay. The house was well stocked and we appreciated the washer and dryer. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Very cute and charming place. The perfect spot to stay to visit our son at UK and make it feel a little more like home. The location was close to everything. Had it not been so dang cold we could have walked.

We enjoyed our stay over Easter weekend. While the street itself is modest, the property stands out as the nicest on the block and made for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The home was very clean - many features felt almost brand new (bathrooms are beautiful) and spacious, and it’s conveniently located at the end of the street with ample parking and is an easy walk to downtown Lexington. The yard is smaller than we expected, but it wasn’t an issue—we still had plenty of space for an Easter egg hunt both inside and outside the home.

This home is on a one way street in the middle of a historic neighborhood! The street itself, is a street of cottages and working class folks! Everything was quiet and safe! A walk to Rupp and other downtown destinations are within a 10 minute walk! The home was so roomy and well appointed! I could have used a few more dish towels and designated dish wash cloths. I absolutely thought the back porch was really cool, however, there was a trashcan full to the top of stagnant water with a couple of bottles floating in it that needs attention because it’s mosquito season it took away the backyard ambience.! This house well worth a rental and a great place to say in a really convenient place in Lexington and the host is very quick to answer. Any questions! I really do get this a five out of five.

About the host

Host profile image

I'm a busy mom, realtor & house beautifier. My husband & I are both from Ky and have lived in Lexington most of our lives. We love to share all of the great things Lexington has to offer & love traveling the world ourselves. We are so happy you're staying with us & hope to provide you the BEST experience in our hometown!

Why they chose this property

I love modern design and found a vacant lot downtown, in great proximity to Lexington attractions. I hired an architect who brought my vision to life on paper, then hired a builder who completed the build in August 2022. I love beautifying my city with beautiful homes that feature modern design & colorful decor!

What makes this property unique

The clerestory windows & large front window allow so much natural light into the space. I love the leathered granite island, the gorgeous teal green tile, the stunning black & white star-patterned tile, the king bed in the primary bedroom & all of the luxurious bedding - so soft & heavenly.
