Five day stay for family wedding.

The property was perfect for our stay. We enjoyed the lovely indoor decor and all of the available kitchen items. Gregory allowed us to check in a few hours early which was so helpful to our schedule. The driveway was our only challenge. When we parked in the back of the house the turnaround was difficult. But there is an option of street parking .

Incredible weekend stay!

The Lexingtonian was a perfect home for a getaway weekend for 5 friends. What a treat to stay in a historic mansion! Gregory was very thoughtful in making sure the home was well-stocked and comfortable. We enjoyed morning coffee in the sun room (space heater provided), preparing meals in the gourmet kitchen and hanging out on the front porch during the evening. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance, as well as a brewery and distillery where we took a fun tour. I would highly recommend this home!

Beautiful Home!

This is our second time staying at this property. Again, we had the best experience. If you are traveling with multiple couples for an event downtown, this is the place for you. Ideal location, less than a five minute walk to downtown Lexington. Equipped with first class amenities throughout the home. You won't be disappointed!

Bourbon and Bama Football

We visited KY to enjoy bourbon and attend a football game at UK. We were 3 couples and the home was perfect for our stay. 3 bedrooms and 3 en suite baths made the stay comfortable for each person. Kitchen was great and big table for playing games while watching Saturday games. Location was great to restaurants and coffee shops with lots of recommendations from the host. We loved our stay!
