It's an old house, but lot's of character. A few small issues, the plug in the bathroom didn’t work. Slippery shower mat in the tub. A fire pit, no chairs to sit on. There was plenty of space for the four of us. Comfortable beds. Dim lighting, but we made it work.

Thanks for taking the time to review Victor. I sincerely apologize for your poor experience. We take all complaints seriously and work to resolve issues immediately. We had the home inspected after your departure and issuing your full refund. The exterminator did not find any nests or rodents. For extra measures, anywhere that looked as if animals could access the home, were blocked off while he inspected. We hope you give us another chance to host you at this home again or one of the many properties we manage. To anyone reading this, we take pride in providing great experiences for our guests and handled Victor's complaint asap. We have had guests stay at the home since this reservation and have received many glowing reviews on the multiple platforms we have it listed. Thank you for taking the time to read this. We will continue striving to ensure each of our guests have the most enjoyable stay possible!

Lexington michigan

The location was perfect since we had friends at the marina - getting in/out of driveway was a bit of a challenge with cars parked close to the narrow drive. There were plenty of towels but no extra paper towel (barely a 1/2 roll when arrived and toilet tissue) - window in bathroom over shower could have been a little more private

Thank you for your kind words Kathy. I have spoken to our cleaning company in regards to the amount of supplies they leave for our guests. Unfortunately, there is not much we can do about the parking situation. The home is a historical home (and as you stated) in a great location; right downtown where people do park on the streets to shop, eat, explore, etc. We enjoyed hosting you and hope you give us another chance. Thank you again!

If you like a 100 degree house with no air conditioning and love to lose power during the day and night this is the house for you! Hopefully you don’t like to cook breakfast, lunch or dinner because if you use the toaster or oven you’ll lose power. Hopefully your kids don’t like movies at the end of a long day because the tv doesn’t work and when it’s plugged in, the power shuts off!

Downtown Lexington Cottage

This place is cool. My wife and I stayed at this cottage with our child for a week while visiting her family. The combination of the funky decorating and location made for a unique and memorable experience for our family. Although the cottage is fairly old, it has all the elements needed to live comfortably for a week including cooking and laundry. A TV with streaming service is available, but it was actually more fun to browse the collection of CDs and DVDs on the few rainy days during our stay. Lexington had a festival going on during our stay (didn’t know this when we booked) and we were able to listen/watch live music right from the cottage. In the words of my wife, we made some core memories at this place. I would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a historic cottage vibe in the heart of downtown Lexington while maintaining all the usual amenities. We would certainly come back for a stay in the future.
