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!
A great way for a little pool, music and TV.
Beautiful - Gregory had even planted some fresh flowers in the pots - despite a chilly forecast the week ahead.
Our adult daughter loved sitting on the front porch in the evenings.

Family is still raving!

My family had a wonderful time staying in this beautiful home. Plenty of space to spread out. Loads of cafes, restaurants and things to do within walking distance. Nice touches like a triple head shower and a steamer for getting wrinkles out of suits and dresses.
