We rented this beautiful home to gather with our adult kids while visiting relatives in Lexington. It was lovely! There are so many places to go in this house - the carriage house, the sunny back porch, the lovely front porch with rocking chairs plus all the space in the home. It was walkable to downtown with many restaurants, bars and historical markers. It couldn't have been better - we thoroughly enjoyed and Gregory was a fantastic host!
Thank you for your kind review, Cindy. You and your group were wonderful guests. I hope that you'll consider staying with us again on your next trip to Lexington.
Gregory was an amazing host. So kind and helpful. I cannot say enough about him and his hospitality. His home was beautiful, spotless and just perfect.

This was a wonderful home for our family over the Easter weekend when attending the Keeneland races. Everything in the home was well-appointed and we could want for nothing while there. Location was perfect.
We had a wonderful adult weekend staying in this beautiful home. The owner is amazing and we hope to visit again!
