It is hard to put into words just how amazing this property is. My family and I travel all around the country each summer attending College Gymnastics camps. This summer was UK. Needless to say, we see rental properties of all shapes and sizes. This property was AMAZING! Gregory was an absolute joy to work with and the house was beautiful!! The house had every little detail taken care of, and the second you walk in, you feel like you are at home. The kitchen was beautiful and each bedroom had a stunning bathroom attached. We could not be happier. The house is close to the main strip downtown and even though we could have gone into the city for dinner each night, we found that all we wanted to do was sit on the huge front porch and have drinks. Thank you Gregory! The house exceeded all of our expectations! We will definitely be back!

Traveled with my husband and two older teenagers to the Lexington area. House was perfect. Beautifully decorated and kept. Gregory was a wonderful host and so helpful. It was walking distance to coffee shops and restaurants.

This is a stunning, luxurious property with added benefit of pool table and dartboard in the garage. It was a fabulous place for a family weekend and although it is a little bit pricey, we felt it was completely worth the expense. Within walking distance of two restaurant brewpubs. The owner was extremely helpful and accessible. The driveway is negotiable by an SUV, but would suggest parking on the street because it is precarious. The bedrooms were exquisitely comfortable the bathrooms gigantic the entire house was divine.

This home exceeded all expectations! All of the rooms were large and comfortable. There was more than enough room for 6 people. All appliances had a like new quality to them. For as old as the house is, everything felt modern and updated. We walked to downtown Louisville within minutes. We cooked an Easter meal and the house had everything needed to do so. Our teens loved the pool table/entertainment area in the garage. The only downside was that we left a half a pizza out on the counter overnight and some ants made a visit. So don’t leave any food out overnight. Overall this is an amazing property, in a great location, and would definitely stay here again.

Nice place. Great location. I would come again. We had major issues with getting in the place. People were unresponsive and gave us the wrong address. You need to double check but I liked the place overall

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Gregory Clarke was a hands on property manager. We were able to check in an hour earlier and get settled in from our long trip. My family of six was very comfortable in their own bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. We enjoyed the outside recreation area in the garage. The house is in a beautiful location, steps away from a short walk into downtown.
