About this house rental

A beautiful 3,000 sq. ft. house in an upper-middle class neighborhood, 7 miles from the University of Kentucky and downtown Lexington, and 5 miles from the airport and Keeneland. There is a small park across the street and a grocery store (Kroger) about half a mile away.

Although listed for 12 people, that's an arbitrary number because it depends on your sleeping arrangements/needs. There are six proper beds, plus two high-quality roll-away beds, a cot-like pull-out ottoman, an air mattress, a baby crib, and multiple couches and recliners.

One television in a common area downstairs and another in the master bedroom, both with YouTubeTV and Netflix subscriptions (or you can connect to your own streaming subscriptions). The internet speed is 500mps.

~~~~~

Bedroom 1 (master): king bed + + 1 queen bed + en suite bathroom
Bedroom 2: queen bed + shared bathroom
Bedroom 3: double bed + shared bathroom
Bedroom 4: double bed + shared bathroom
Bedroom 5: queen bed + half bathroom
(Bedrooms 1-4 are on the second floor; Bedroom 5 is on the first floor.)

Additional beds:
2 twin-size roll-away beds
1 cot-size pull-out sleeper ottoman
1 baby crib

NON-SMOKERS ONLY.

~~~~~
When making a reservation, please purchase trip cancelation insurance (it's really not very expensive) to protect yourself in the event of an unanticipated circumstance that forces you to cancel the reservation late (e.g., someone gets sick, injured, or dies; your event gets canceled or postponed; weather or other circumstances prevent you from traveling). I take no pleasure in keeping the money if you have to cancel late, but the cancellation policy is my trip cancellation insurance; I do not waive my insurance to protect you from the consequences of not having your own insurance.

In accordance with zoning ordinances and/or to address problems that have occurred with past guests, the following additional rules are enforced:

1) MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY of the property is limited to the lessor of (a) 12 people at any one time, and (b) one daytime visitor per registered guest at any given time. For example, if you have 5 registered guests then you can have a maximum of 5 additional awake-time visitors at any one time; if you have 10 registered guests then you can have a maximum of 2 additional awake-time visitors (to not exceed 12 total). These limits are determined by local regulations on short-term rentals.

2) QUIET TIME is 10pm to 7am. This is a quiet family neighborhood; if the neighbors can hear your voices, your music, or anything else from their property then you are too loud.

3) INTERFERING WITH THE SECURITY SYSTEM IS PROHIBITED. This includes tampering with, disabling, repositioning, or covering the cameras or security system equipment. (FYI, the cameras are positioned to watch all entrances/exits from outside of the house and in the garage; there are no cameras inside the living area of the house itself.)

4) NO SMOKING/VAPING. If someone has smoked/vaped in the house it will be quite obvious to those who do not smoke/vape (e.g., the cleaner, myself, and most subsequent guests). Any evidence (including smell) of smoking/vaping anything in or near the house will result in a minimum $200 charge to the damage deposit.

5) NO MOTORCYCLES. Due to noise complaints from neighbors every time a motorcycle has been at the house in the past, motorcycles are no longer permitted.

Most guests followed these common-sense rules even before they became explicit rules, but those who didn't have upset the neighbors (or the cleaner, myself, and/or subsequent guests in the case of smoking/vaping). Therefore, failure to comply with these rules can result in police involvement, eviction, and/or forfeiture of the deposit. Please note that the neighbors are aware that this is a short-term rental, and I have encouraged them to call the police and/or me if problems arise. That said, follow these rules and everyone will be happy. :)

Such a great location - Lexington is so easy to get around- we were about 20 minutes from my daughter’s house and the wedding venue - we had my 89 year old mother with us and the first floor bedroom was perfect- a couple friends from out of town which the extra full bath upstairs was just perfect for them.The kitchen of course is the gathering place and it was so well appointed- could have cooked easily with all the great pans and grill- but we ate out mostly. Our host Jason was great and we highly recommend this property for a short or long stay! Also it’s in a wonderful neighborhood!

We had 7 guys down there for a bachelor party. The place was in a great location with plenty of good restaurants and highway access to satisfy any party. We all had plenty of space with 7 adult guys, and the house was well maintained and clean.

Our daughter got married at nearby Talon Winery. We are from out of state, and this house was a great place for us to stay together for the event.

Used this house as a place to stay for the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Close enough to all distilleries, plenty of space and parking for a large group. We had the air conditioning go out on our stay and the owner came and had it fixed within the hour of me notifying him. The beds were comfy and the outside patio was nice. A great quiet neighborhood too. Highly Recommend!

We stayed at the property with our group of 8 friends for a golf trip. We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the property. We have stayed at this property at least 4 or 5 times and we look forward to our annual trip. The house is perfect for our group.
