Clean, quiet, great location

Highly recommend this property when visiting Lexington. Julie is a fantastic host and photos are exactly as described. Great location with restaurants, Walmart, and Kroger within 10 minutes.. very little to no traffic in this area which was refreshing compared to other parts of Lexington. We would definitely stay again!

Peaceful retreat!

Our peaceful retreat to Lexington was blessed with our stay at Julie’s house. The house fit my family of 6 perfectly. More than enough towels, cutlery, plates, bowls, pillows, blankets, etc. for us during our stay. The backyard was peacefully bliss for morning coffee and evening wind down time. Location was very convenient for us as we were able to get to New Circle or I-75 in 5-10 minutes. The neighbors were very kind and helpful with recommendations on where to eat.. which helped us narrow down the large list of good options that Julie provided too. Check in was easy and Julie was quick to answer my couple of questions. We travel frequently through the year and this home was one of our favorites. Thank you Julie!

Kentucky Vacay

We came to Kentucky for the first time to attend Breyerfest 2023. My husband, daughter (age 12), myself and our spunky Boxer puppy stayed at this cute house. Julie was fantastic at communicating with us. The location was perfect for our touring needs as it was no more than 30 - 40 minutes from all the attractions we were interested in seeing, and only 15 minutes from Kentucky Horse Park, where the festival was held. It was so nice having a fenced in backyard for the dog. My daughter loved having her choice of two bedrooms, and I certainly appreciated having access to a washer/dryer, Keurig Machine, and all the other appliances that made it feel like home. After hearing many other tourists complaining about how overcrowded the hotels were due to this festival, I was super thrilled that we made the choice to book through VRBO and chose one of Julie's properties. We will definitely go this route again, and recommend you do the same.

First time in Kentucky

My daughter had a horse show at KY Horse Park. Her fiancé, aunts and I decided to go watch since we’d never been there and chose to rent a house. The property we rented was immaculately clean and well furnished in a quiet neighborhood. There was a slight mixup upon arrival but the property owner quickly responded to my call and easily rectified the issue. Strongly recommend this property.
