We enjoyed our stay over Easter weekend. While the street itself is modest, the property stands out as the nicest on the block and made for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The home was very clean - many features felt almost brand new (bathrooms are beautiful) and spacious, and it’s conveniently located at the end of the street with ample parking and is an easy walk to downtown Lexington. The yard is smaller than we expected, but it wasn’t an issue—we still had plenty of space for an Easter egg hunt both inside and outside the home.
We loved the house. Make sure you read the description about the location. We walked to dinner the first night and found it easy to get to the distilleries on our list.

So glad you enjoyed our house & its central location, Laura! Hope to host you again soon!
The house is the perfect place to refresh ourselves and lay our heads after a full day of touring the local distilleries. Clean and stocked with the basic supplies any traveler would appreciate.
We came to Lexington to do a part of the Bourbon Trail. Our location was within walking distance to downtown area with many good restaurants and amenities. The house was exactly what we were looking for. Spacious for the four of us with full amenities for our use! The host replied to our inquiries quickly and the cleaning staff did a meticulously job of preparing the house for our stay! We definitely would come back to stay again!!Highly recommend
Came here to celebrate my sister getting married. Property was clean and super cute! Communication was amazing and Shevawn was very nice. No issues or complaints whatsoever!
This property was clean and very cute. It fit our needs very well. The area was a bit sketchy but we had no problems.We walked to downtown and the Jefferson St restaurants.I wouldn't walk at night though.
What an amazing property - had absolutely everything we needed for girls Bourbon Trail getaway/birthday celebration. VERY close to everything, including amazing restaurants (we've never eaten so well) and cocktail lounges. Neighbors were quiet (don't listen to other reviewers - it's a neighborhood in transition and was perfectly safe). Super Clean, really well thought out, great communications, and entire manual/handbook online. Highly recommend!

Loved it!
We loved this house and will definitely be back! Very comfortable and conveniently located!
We needed a quick stop on our way to Tennessee as we were traveling with our 87 year old mom. The place was beautiful and very comfy. The neighborhood was a little sketchy (definitely the nicest place on the road) but convenient to places to eat and walkable in a group! Next time, we would stay longer.
The property was lovely, we had what we needed for the long weekend we booked.

About the host
Hosted by Shevawn Akers
I'm a busy mom, realtor & house beautifier. My husband & I are both from Ky and have lived in Lexington most of our lives. We love to share all the great things Lexington has to offer & love traveling the world ourselves. We are so happy you're staying with us & hope to provide you the BEST experience in our hometown!
Why they chose this property
I love modern design and found a vacant lot downtown, in great proximity to Lexington attractions. I hired an architect who brought my vision to life on paper, then hired a builder who completed the build in August 2022. I love beautifying my city with beautiful homes that feature modern design & colorful decor!
What makes this property unique
The clerestory windows & large front window allow so much natural light into the space. I love the leathered granite island, the gorgeous teal green tile, the stunning black & white star-patterned tile, the king bed in the primary bedroom & all of the luxurious bedding - so soft & heavenly.
