Cute and Close

Cute place about three blocks from downtown! They have done a great job with renovations. They had lots of amenities and greater you with drinks in the fridge and snacks on the counter.

Property was very clean and a very smooth check in and check out process. This place was great for a two day stay. We were close to different breweries and it was very easy to get to UKs campus with an Uber. The location was okay.

Lexington Weekend

My wife and I have stayed in multiple short and long term rentals over the years but this home in particular was, by far, one of our favorites. The property was extremely clean and welcoming and the host provided more than enough extras for us to enjoy our stay. We visit the Lexington area a couple times a year and this will be our stay of choice from this point forward.

Great stay in Lexington

The house was perfect - very clean, cozy and modern. The host thought of everything including things like Q-tips, tooth paste, snacks, and stocked soft drinks in fridge. The host Sky was very responsive and pleasant to speak with. I would stay again next time I’m in town and would recommend this home to others!

Property was modern spacious and clean. It was also well supplied with toiletries drinks and snacks. The host was very responsive and eager to please. Parking is a bit of a challenge if you have multiple vehicles- but this was duly noted in the listing.

U Kentucky Move In

This was the best Vrbo that I've ever stayed in once we were in the home. The neighborhood was a bit scary and loud at times. But the Vrbo was completely clean, spacious, decorated beautifully, modern appliances and plumbing, and so well stocked from drinks in the refrigerator to zip lock bag and tea. We enjoyed every minute.

Perfect rental for our stay in Lexington!

My son and I had a wonderful stay at this rental property in Lexington, KY! The home was clean and comfortable and had all the amenities of a truly relaxing rental for the week. Sky is a responsive and reactive owner to any issue that needed to be clarified or resolved. My son and I both felt like this was a "home away from home"! I truly recommend this rental when visiting the state of Kentucky! Thank you Sky!

Outstanding!

The host, Sky, thought of everything! Coffee, bathroom toiletries, snacks, drinks and more! While there was a small snafu with the listing details- hence our decision to stay there- sky made it right. Went above and beyond. If I had a question, it was answered immediately. Would definitely stay again!!

K3DE

This property was perfect for our extended stay during the Kentucky 3 Day Event. It was conveniently located within 15 minutes of the Kentucky Horse Park and easy driving distance to shopping and restaurants. The property was spotless and well-appointed. Not only were there plenty of bedding, towels, dishware, glassware, and utensils but there were a ton of extra kitchen appliances such as a crockpot, air fryer, toaster, and tiny cube ice maker. It was perfect since we did do a lot of our own cooking. The only thing I need to mention is the parking situation. If you have a full sized truck such as an F150, it barely fits down the driveway alley between the houses and does not fit well in the space behind the house without blocking some of the driveway. I would plan on using the on-street parking if someone is occupying the sister house next door.
