This property is a jewel: small (just right for two!) but so, so beautiful. It is in a historic structure, with fabulous thick walls and operable screened windows with wooden shutters set into them, hardwood floors, high ceilings and tons of authenticity. The decor is just perfect for an old southern flat, with just the right amount of necessities for living and cooking for a week, and not a spec more. Mary, our host, was communicative and we had no trouble accessing the unit, nor did we lack for a thing. We will stay there every time we are in the area. Loved it.

From my arrival to departure, my stay was perfect in every way. The Castle was historic (a history was provided in the welcome folder) with comfortable and attractive furniture and decor. The location was quiet, but a short walk to the downtown and colleges. A beautiful patio adjoined the living room, overlooking trees and gardens. Birds sang in the trees, and a horse-drawn carriage was a block away, adding the lovely sound of the clip clop of hooves! The bed was very comfortable, the bath tiled and sparkling clean! A wonderful, efficient kitchen separates the living and bedroom areas. My host responded to every question and need, and her service was beyond superb! I attended graduation events at a nearby college, and I looked forward to coming back here to rest and refresh. I highly recommend this property - much to enjoy!

We had a very enjoyable stay at the historic “Castle” in Lexington. It has been completely refurbished and is very comfortable. It is also conveniently located in downtown Lexington one block off of Main Street. It makes for an easy walk for shopping and dining, and to VMI and W&L. I highly recommend it.

My better half and I wanted a quick getaway. Property is elegant & charming. Turnkey stay -- everything we needed was at hand. Upscale soap and shampoo in the bathroom. A nice bottle of local wine and fruit/snack basket took it over the top. Highly recommended.

We love visiting Lexington and now we have a new favorite place to stay. This property has it all the luxuries of a modern home yet it's one of the oldest buildings in Lexington. Very cool place! The location can't be beat and the host, Mary, was very welcoming. We will definitely stay here again....and again!

Perfect spot for a long weekend, mere steps from all that Lexington has to offer! For a small town, there were so many good spots to eat. The apartment was very clean and comfortable, we especially enjoyed the balcony for our morning coffee and the fireplace on a chilly evening. We will definitely return and maybe stay longer so we can try some of the eating establishments that we didn't get to!

“The Castle” is a wonderful location when staying in Lexington. The accommodations were perfect and just as described. The communication between us and the owner was always prompt and always friendly. I would not hesitate staying here again and I would recommend “The Castle” to anyone. It was as perfect a stay as we have ever experienced on VRBO. I highly recommend!

A cultural experience

A cultural experience

We have stayed in many vrbo properties and this was the cleanest one by far! The apartment is in the perfect location to walk to everything downtown. It has everything you need for comfort and convenience. We were even welcomed with a bottle of wine and snacks! Being built in the late 1700s, the Castle has been improved and updated for comfort and beauty, but the historical character of the times was preserved. We wish we could have enjoyed the cute veranda, but it was too cold in February. We actually had snow while we were there and the owner, Russ, came over twice to salt and shovel our stairs and sidewalk. Mary was also very responsive and accessible via text message. I highly recommend the Castle for a true cultural Lexington experience!

Great Start to a Great Vacation

Great Start to a Great Vacation

This was our first stop on our two-week vacation. It was a way to decompress before starting our "actual" vacation. The house was lovely, and we especially enjoyed the outside space for morning coffee and evening adult beverages. It is located very centrally to the restaurants and bars and the area felt extremely safe. The house was very well-appointed, and although I did not have time to make a meal there, I am sure I could have whipped up anything in the kitchen. Communication with the hosts was excellent and checkin/access to the house was a breeze. Parking was very easy and felt very secure. Highly recommend this lovely property for a nice couples getaway. We would definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

Charming old property in the heart of the historic district

Charming little property with plenty of room for two. Nicely decorated with lots of little nooks and other touches. Can't beat the location. One block from restaurants. (We enjoyed TAPS at the Georges for outside dining and drinks.) Lexington was a surprising treat for a weekend getaway.

Our Lexington stay.

Our Lexington stay.

We were the first to reserve this property and we sincerely hope there will be many more take time to relax and restore at this beautiful property. The "Castle" is an excellent little flat in the middle of the Lexington, very quiet area and centrally located to everything within a few minutes walk. Well decorated and very comfortable sleeping area. The terrace overlooking the yard is very peaceful and relaxing. Thank you and cheers to future rentals.
