Very nice place for family at UK graduation weekend. Clean & comfortable. Had brunch together in the kitchen one day. Well equipped home with extras like the luggage racks, kitchen set up, lots of USB chargers. Easy short ride to downtown and no traffic to Rupp arena when other siblings from other direction had half hour delays.
We had several adults and 3 dogs and we enjoyed our stay here. The app needed for the lock caused a little confusion but other than that we have no complaints.
Great location when visiting the KHP! Comfy home with garage space which was really nice. Fire pit out back is especially enjoyable. We would rent the home again for sure.
Highly recommend this property when visiting Lexington. Julie is a fantastic host and photos are exactly as described. Great location with restaurants, Walmart, and Kroger within 10 minutes.. very little to no traffic in this area which was refreshing compared to other parts of Lexington. We would definitely stay again!
We have stayed two years in a row at this VRBO home and have thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Great home, well equipped and nice backyard. Julie is very helpful and responsive. Wonderful place to stay!
This house was comfortable and clean. In a quiet neighborhood. The host helped with questions and stocked the house with essential items. Convenient to the airport also.
Our peaceful retreat to Lexington was blessed with our stay at Julie’s house. The house fit my family of 6 perfectly. More than enough towels, cutlery, plates, bowls, pillows, blankets, etc. for us during our stay. The backyard was peacefully bliss for morning coffee and evening wind down time. Location was very convenient for us as we were able to get to New Circle or I-75 in 5-10 minutes. The neighbors were very kind and helpful with recommendations on where to eat.. which helped us narrow down the large list of good options that Julie provided too. Check in was easy and Julie was quick to answer my couple of questions. We travel frequently through the year and this home was one of our favorites. Thank you Julie!
We came to Kentucky for the first time to attend Breyerfest 2023. My husband, daughter (age 12), myself and our spunky Boxer puppy stayed at this cute house. Julie was fantastic at communicating with us. The location was perfect for our touring needs as it was no more than 30 - 40 minutes from all the attractions we were interested in seeing, and only 15 minutes from Kentucky Horse Park, where the festival was held. It was so nice having a fenced in backyard for the dog. My daughter loved having her choice of two bedrooms, and I certainly appreciated having access to a washer/dryer, Keurig Machine, and all the other appliances that made it feel like home. After hearing many other tourists complaining about how overcrowded the hotels were due to this festival, I was super thrilled that we made the choice to book through VRBO and chose one of Julie's properties. We will definitely go this route again, and recommend you do the same.
Great property and location! Really enjoyed our stay- easy check in process, clean and comfortable with a well stocked kitchen we used for cooking Thanksgiving side dishes!
We really enjoyed our stay in Lexington. The home was nicely decorated, clean, with attention to details that made our stay really wonderful. Great backyard! Very responsive host.
We had a wonderful time making our turkey dinner in this cute rental home. It was perfect for our family and fur babies with fenced yard. Good location for Bourbon Trail too. Clean with comfy beds, well equipped.
This was the best equipped house we’ve ever rented. The linens were top notch. Kitchen. Had everything we needed and plenty of cleaning supplies and paper products. Julie was so easy to work with and super helpful.
My daughter had a horse show at KY Horse Park. Her fiancé, aunts and I decided to go watch since we’d never been there and chose to rent a house. The property we rented was immaculately clean and well furnished in a quiet neighborhood. There was a slight mixup upon arrival but the property owner quickly responded to my call and easily rectified the issue. Strongly recommend this property.
