Girls Weekend

This adorable house was the perfect place for our girls weekend. It is so well stocked with anything we could have possibly needed. The location was so convenient; we walked to Bella Care & Grille and Josie's and the UK campus. The host was quick to respond with all communications. We would love to stay here again on our next Lexington trip. A wonderful experience!!!!

Clean, Spacious, and Convenient

This was one of the cleanest, most well-appointed places that we've rented. The location was great for walking the dog or walking to neighborhood restaurants, etc. Centrally located for driving around Lexington. A quiet neighborhood but still close to the action. One of the best places we've rented.

Great Host

The host was very accommodating and caring for my situation. The property was conveniently located to the hospital. I tried not rate it overall because of 3 concerns, large spiderwebs were in the window of the guest bedroom, no window covering on several windows, especially at the entrance door, and the size and location of the toilet in the guest bedroom but I had to…

A merry Christmas

We had a wonderful time on Sunset over the holiday. The house is perfect for 3 adults or a few more and had everything we would need or want for a holiday visit. Our small dogs enjoyed having a fenced yard and could keep an eye on everyone fairly easily. We were visiting family a short walk away and regularly walked to shops in the area and around the UK campus on Christmas Day. This will remain high on our list for future visits and to recommend to friends.

Fabulous!!

Lovely home located in a quiet area of Lexington. The house is very clean and organized with essentials and some non-essentials provided. Everything is labeled so that you can easily find whatever you’re looking for. Communication with the owner was excellent. Check in and out was a breeze. Easy drive to distilleries and Kentucky Horse Park. Within walking distance of some must try restaurants. Will stay here again if ever traveling to Lexington again.

An absolute gem of a house and host

This host was an absolute pleasure to work with. Exceptionally responsive and kind. Went above and beyond to help us with a mistake I made when booking. The house itself is in an amazing location and is beautifully maintained. We felt so at home. We all had plenty of room and had a great time. We loved how easy it was to find everything with it all clearly labeled! Do yourself a favor and book this one for your stay in LEX. You won’t regret it.

Perfect Location

Another mom and I stayed here with our daughters who were commuters for UK’s volleyball camp. This place was a home away from home. Nestled in a quaint little neighborhood, the location was perfect getting the girls back and forth from camp, there were plenty of places to walk to - Grocery, coffee, restaurants, shops, etc! The house had every amenity necessary for a comfortable stay. I also can not say enough good things about Cathy. She was such a gracious and accommodating host, and always replied to questions in a timely manner. I would rent this property over and over. ~ Mandi M.

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Burke

Host profile image
My husband and I are travelers, close to retirement, and some would call us nomads! We just opened our 3rd vacation rental...all in cities we love....Lexington, Asheville, and Chattanooga! Soon to open, one in Charlotte. Our home base is in Cincinnati and we truly love our hometown city just as much!

Why they chose this property

The Lexington home is perfect for your gatherings. We have never accually lived in Lexington, but our kids attended college there...I especially love going to this house for my getaway retreat for just a few days! It's comfortable, convenient, spacious yet cozy, quiet...I love the front porch adirondacks and drink my coffee out there almost every day, weather permitting...sometimes even in the rain!
