Stellar, all around!!!
Beautiful, historic home located steps from everything downtown has to offer, with a very well stocked kitchen and fantastic screened in porch (where we spent much of our time!). We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate my son’s law school graduation.

Fabulous House in Lexington
Very, very clean house with everything you need to cook including a Thermador stove. Restaurants are steps away and include Sushi, Pizza, Greek and Bar food. Beds are very comfortable and bedding is lovely patterns. Dog friendly home with fenced in yard in back. Close to VMI and Washington and Lee universities.

Perfect home for downtown wedding
This house was a perfect setting for wedding prep. We stayed there with family. The dining room was perfect for having hair and make up done- out of the way from foyer and kitchen areas so other guests not in the way of day of wedding prep. Kitchen is large and great for entertaining. Each guest room has a bathroom and upper level rooms allowed privacy from the main level. Very clean and we also enjoyed the very lovely screened in porch. Close and within walking distance of our venues. Our stay couldn't be more perfect.

We loved this house!
We rented the house this past weekend for a family wedding and couldn’t of been happier with the accommodations. Staying in a historic home in downtown Lexington was just perfect. You can easily walk to the restaurants and shops, as well as to the universities. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect for a family or group of friends
The property is very well layed out and thoughtfully appointed to be very comfortable. The location near town is extremely convenient, and invaluable to be able to walk to and from Washington & Lee events. The 3 parking spots behind the house are a big bonus.

Location
The house is right on the edge of downtown. There is a pizza restaurant right next door. There was some noise from there at night but not too late. It was graduation weekend so there were also some house parties going on in the neighborhood. Our only issue is that we were never able to contact the host either during or after our stay.
