Our family enjoyed an excellent stay at this property. It was well stocked and in a great location; private enough to feel like a vacation but super close to any amenity you might need. We loved the washer and dryer off the primary bedroom as well as the basement entertainment space.

We had a wonderful family vacation with our children, grandchildren and even great grandma. The house was clean and comfortable and perfect for all ages. The location was close to many things and we enjoyed the country setting to sit around the fire pit at night. We definitely recommend this stay.

This house is amazing! Very cozy, comfortable and extremely clean. We loved the area. The location worked well for the Lexington sites we wanted to see. Decorated for Christmas which we very much appreciated as our visit was early December. Also, Dawn is the perfect host. Very responsive to our questions. We highly recommend this house and will stay here again when in the Lexington area.

So very happy you had a great time at our home! You were truly a pleasure to host and we can't wait to welcome you back!!
Dawn was great; the house was super impressive coming up to it after dark. For our four couples, all foodies, we spent a great deal of time in the oversized kitchen and loved every minute! We did bourbon tours and horse farms then came back and watched Secretariat…with bourbon! The hot tub, the fire pit, the location was all spot on!!! Dawn, thank you and hope to see you again!!!!

Thank you so much for your amazing review Jessica! We loved hosting you!
This was easily one of the best vacation homes we have stayed at, and we have stayed at many. My wife and four children loved it. The house itself was top tier—clean, nice, well maintained, and stocked well with random goods just in case you forget something. The game room, pool, and entertainment areas were well taken care of; nothing was broken or in disrepair, and the images reflected exactly what you were getting. The host was also exceptional and had great communication.This is the type of experience you are always hoping to have when you pick a home. It felt like home!It will not disappoint.
