Excellent location and space! We came for keeneland and football and this house was absolutely perfect! We will absolutely be coming back and booking this house
David had the perfect property for us. Three comfortable bedrooms and nice amenities. He was very responsive to any questions. It was a great stay for us.
This historic home has so much character and was absolutely perfect for us to stay at for our daughter‘s graduation. It’s close to Rupp Arena, close to restaurants and bars, and the owners really went all out to be very accommodating. I would highly recommend it!
This was the perfect place for our stay. The location was perfect for an extended visit to see family at UK. David was a gracious and welcoming host. Murray’s cheese platter! Great communication and had lot’s of great local knowledge and suggestions to help get a lay-of-the-land - with info on what to see, eat and tour. The place had everything we needed. Loved the style and comfort of the place.
We rented this location at the last minute and it was perfect for our family of 3. Super clean and comfortable, we enjoyed downtime between visits to local places in Lexington. We were able to walk to dinner one evening and it was perfect. All amenities were there and we felt well taken care of - a home away from home!

Gregory, we are so glad you enjoyed Historic Lafferty House. We hope you return and stay with us again very soon. David
This was a getaway trip for my adult sons and I. We had our own comfortable bedrooms and space to relax and watch basketball! Location is very convenient and easy parking on the street. We walked downtown and we also Ubers when we wanted to.The location was convenient for both! Very charming old house and the host communication was excellent! We would definitely stay here again!
David was absolutely amazing! Helpful and kind at every turn and inquired if all was going well in the middle of our stay! It’s a beautiful spot to gather with family together!
Owners were very responsive, the place was very clean! Close to everything in Lexington, we attended a concert at UK and was walking distance. Highly recommend

Michael, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. When you return, please let us know the correct number of guests so that we can properly stock the unit. We understood there were only to be 2 adults. We could have supplied additional towels etc. had we known there would be 5. Above all, we are happy that you were happy!!!
The Lafferty House was awesome! We stayed there for the night so we could attend a concert at Rupp Arena. The house came with all of the amenities you would need for a short stay and the owner was very hospitable. Seems to be a quiet, nice neighborhood. We will definitely stay again, if ever in Lexington.
Great location. Stayed for a UK football game. Not a far walk to anywhere on campus really. Owners were very very kind. Everything in the house is well labeled and marked. Would definitely stay again.
The house was perfect! Everything was very clean and things were labeled which helped out on proper use of switches and such. The location was perfect, we were 2 miles from everything we wanted which made for easy walking! Our host, David was very responsive with any questions and really friendly when we got the chance to meet! Would definitely stay here again for another Lexington trip!
