Outstanding host and very clean property

Ann was an amazing host and went above and beyond for us. If we had a question, Ann responded super fast. She was wonderful and the house way very lovely and nice and clean. The location was great and the neighborhood was nice , safe and friendly when we would walk our dog. We will definitely stay here again. My daughter moved to lexington for her job and this house is a 4 minute drive from my daughters home.

It was fine....

The house was cute and clean but there were lights that didn't work including in the bathroom. Also, the cleaning requests also required starting laundry and dishwasher before checking out.

Nice backyard for pets. The gate in the backyard is a wide farm like gate and may not keep smaller dogs from escaping.

Thanksgiving’24

The house was perfect for us. We used all three beds, the inflatable mattress that got great reviews! Our niece stayed 2 nights with us and slept on the pull out couch. The two bathrooms were great too. The only complaint was the lack of full size baking dishes and sheet pans. There was no foil and no trash bags but we got that from my sister. If it hadn’t been thanksgiving the kitchen would have been perfect.

Comfy Home in Keswick

The house was in a perfect location in Lexington. Nice, walkable neighborhood, and close to UKY. We had plenty of room and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with anything we needed. The home has a lovely deck and backyard. Would be nice to have a grill. Overall, we'd love to come back again!

Great location, great communication with owner.

The community is very nice and inviting. The owner was very responsive and gave suggestions of things to see and do in the area. Some things could be updated regarding decorating but that isn't a big deal. Beds were comfortable and the neighborhood is quiet.

Great house in a great location

House was perfect for our group of 4. Neighborhood was quiet and cute. The coffee shop/bar down the road was awesome and we found ourselves a fun new little place to get a pick me up when we visit. Owner was responsive and gave us great suggestions for places to visit and eat during our stay. We were very satisfied and would not hesitate to stay here again. Next time we will bring our fur babies, since the home is pet friendly and the fenced in back yard would be perfect for our pets. Thank you!

Lexington Getaway

We (college friends in their 70's) enjoyed our stay and had everything that we needed except we are college football fans and missed some TV games on Saturday night. The house lacked cable TV or the capability to stream. It had an antenna. Any other visit this would not have been a problem. Overall it was great. We were within walking distance (about 2 miles) to Kroger Field. We loved the neighborhood and was similar to the one that I live. I recommend this place and the owner was very good with providing places to eat and other information.
