Host very polite and informative! Carriage house was modern and chic, such a good feel. The fireplace in living room was calming and the tub down stairs was relaxing after the concert! Great location! We walked to Rupp in about 5 minutes, maybe not that long!
Great area for walking the neighborhood which took us to the Mary Todd Lincoln home and we found an Opera House during our first walk. We went back to see a show that night which was an unexpected joy! We walked to some great restaurants/distilleries downtown as well. It was definitely a SMART home with artsy decor in an historic Lexington Carriage House. Enjoyed our stay very much.
This unit was phenomenal! We booked it last minute and was shocked it was available. It’s also the smartest smart house I’ve ever seen so if you’re allergic to technology…may not be for you but we loved it!
We had a wonderful one night stay in this beautifully decorated, super smart, well equipped charming house. The fun lights in the shower were a highlight! We would stay again!
This property was perfect for a quick overnight stay. We attended a concert at Rupp Arena, so the short walk was great. There are plenty of places to eat and drink within walking distance as well since you are downtown. I'd stay here again!
Overall, we had a great stay at this location! Heath and his crew were very good at responding to messages and we enjoyed this beautiful carriage house. I hosted our family Thanksgiving here since my family is spread out between three states and all in all, it went very well!
This carriage house is located right downtown, easily walkable to many shops, restaurants and of course Rupp Arena. The decor and design is outstanding. The 2 bedrooms are upstairs, both have very comfortable beds and share a bathroom with a really nice shower. The downstairs bathroom has a tub. There is plenty of room for everyone to relax in the living room and a nice TV to watch sports or shows. All in all, we had a great Lexington weekend and will definitely rent this carriage house again!
This historic carriage house has been converted into a super cool place to hang out before a show at Rupp Arena or if you’re in town for the weekend. Slick furnishings, and cool lighting made this a great place to chill before and after the show we saw. Highly recommend.

This place is stunning. Everything has been curated to “wow” you. It’s unlike any property I’ve ever stayed at. I highly suggest it. 10/10
This property has many high-end details, including its excellent location and cleanliness. The king bed was not for us, but bedding is super subjective! It's a coffee lover's paradise. The book provided gave excellent advice. We visited several recommended restaurants and Harvy's bar. All were within walking distance and better than expected.
