Amazing property in every way. Super clean and a great location. The hosts literally thought of everything to make this a five star stay. All the comforts of home, but in such a fun location. We would without a doubt stay here again.

This place is awesome! First, the location is only 1 block off of Main St, with easy access to shops and restaurants. Second, it is a gem of a house. Beautifully decorated, comfortable, and clean. Third, it has so many amenities that are sometimes lacking in rental homes. There was a good supply of pots, pans, utensils, etc, which made cooking easy. There were extra blankets and throws. The details were thoughtful and appreciated. We really enjoyed the patio at back of house. The grill was great, and sitting around the propane fire feature was relaxing. It was a little private oasis. You could hear the music and crowd noise from the Irish pub nearby, but that didn't bother us too much at all. Thanks to the hosts for the attention to details and great communication. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay here again.

I can't think of anything negative to say about this place. It is well-stocked, roomy, well decorated, and has a great private patio in the back. The 2 bedrooms are on opposite ends of the house with their own bathrooms. Perfect for 2 couples. The owners are quick to respond and thorough. It's 1 block from a very nice downtown with good restaurants. A must have.

Fantastic Stay

The house is adorable and just as pictured. Location is great as it is quick walk to the main street where there is shopping, food, and drinks. Check-in and check-out processes were a breeze. Will definitely stay again in the future when we are in the area.

Beautiful, clean & walkable!

My friends and I stayed here for a girls weekend and loved it! Beautifully decorated, super clean and downtown Georgetown within steps. We ate our breakfasts and one dinner at the house and it had everything we needed - Keurig and regular coffee pot, pots and pans for cooking, etc. Before our stay, I had a few questions and the host answered promptly each time. I would stay here again and highly recommend this place!

Gem in Georgetown!

We were in town for the 149th Kentucky Derby (a bucket list trip for us)! This home was in a wonderful location and our stay was comfortable....it was the perfect size for two couples with everything we needed! Such a cute little historic town. We enjoyed 4 bourbon tours in the area as well as the Kentucky Oaks and the Derby. So glad we found this gem in Georgetown, KY! We would highly recommend staying here!

Great place to stay

A friend and I stayed for Horsey Hundred weekend. The house was perfect. Very contemporary furnishings. We each had our own bedroom with bath. The owners thought of everything and the house had every furnishing we needed. The house was less than 1block from downtown and very convenient to Georgetown College. I highly recommend staying here.

Is there a better location in Georgetown? It's not possible. Everything about this place is top notch. Loved that the only TV was in the shared space. We didn't eat here but certainly could have as the kitchen was stocked with anything you could need.This place was in an extremely walkable location. Parking was across the street in a lot that we pretty much had to ourselves.The design of this place was beautiful. My only complaint was that the main bath had a rain shower head instead of a wall mount with a detachable handle. But that is my personal choice and no reflection of the construction. The other bathroom had a traditional shower head, but we traveled with friends so that option was out. Just be aware if you prefer that type of shower.If we travel this way again, this would be our first request. This place was BEAUTIFUL! You won't regret staying here!

Great little house in cute downtown Georgetown

We were in town for my daughter’s horse show and had a quick weekend stay in this adorable house located in downtown Georgetown. This house is an easy 12 minute drive to Kentucky Horse Park and it’s newly updated and beautifully decorated. The master bathroom had a double sink vanity with an awesome rain shower. Both bedrooms had comfortable beds and linens. The house was very clean and had a fully equipped kitchen. The owner left a vase of fresh flowers on the kitchen counter for us which was lovely. This property also has a cute little backyard with four chairs and a gas fire pit and nice landscaping. Parking was across the street in an empty lot and the area was quiet but around the corner from a number of cute shops and restaurants. Would definitely recommend and will stay again!

A Great Stay in a Great Spot

This property was amazing, every detail thought out. The beds were comfortable, and everything was spotlessly clean. It is located in historic downtown Georgetown which has its own charm. Many eateries and shops within walking distance, you almost don't need to leave town. We visited the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum which were a good drive out to each, but we thoroughly enjoyed coming back to the property each night. There is a gas fire pit on the back patio that wasn't pictured, so that was an unexpected surprise. It is an old frame of a house that has been completely updated in every way. Lots of historic buildings and churches along with the college campus to see and plenty of restaurant chains and groceries a short drive away. Some things to note; when we stayed the coffee maker was a Kuering but pods were provided - thank you! It was cold and a steady temperature was hard to maintain throughout the house but using the electric fireplace in the front bedroom helped. There were also plenty of cozy, clean blankets to keep the cold at bay. There was live music from the main street just up the hill on Friday night but it was not disruptive nor did it go on very late due to the noise ordinance of the little town. If you need a place to stay in the area for your small family or maybe two couples, I highly recommend this spot!

Gorgeous property! Light, airy, impeccably clean, spacious home with high ceilings, an extremely well-appointment kitchen, and beautiful finishes throughout. The whole house felt elevated, elegant, and modern with a cozy and welcoming vibe. The hosts have thought of everything from plenty of soft throw blankets to easily-accessible supplies and a list of fantastic local independent restaurants. We definitely felt more like invited guests than renters- a rare thing!The house layout in genius. The two bedrooms are on opposite sides of the house (one front and one back) with the kitchen and living room between them. They each have their own spacious bathroom and each has immediate access to outdoor seating areas (the front porch or the back firepit). I travelled with family but I can imagine this would be perfect for two couples traveling together as the privacy was outstanding.The location was great- just a block off Georgetown’s cute historic walkable Main Street with several restaurants and shops. It was very quiet and parking was readily available right across the street.The hosts’ communication was fantastic and proactive.We will definitely stay here again in the future and recommend it to other people visiting the area. This property is a gem!
