Spacious house minutes from the Horse Park

The photos in the listing lead one to believe this rental is in good shape. It isn’t. The kitchen and living room were as shown except light bulbs were burned out in nearly every single fixture/lamp. But upstairs is where things got strange. Excluding the master, which was acceptable, every other room had non-functional lights, non-functional ceiling fans, or a broken bed that was detached from its headboard and sloped towards the ground at the foot of the bed. My daughter and I slept in a secondary room where the bed frame was at least 6inches (maybe 12-inches) longer than the mattress on the bed. None of the bedding looked like what us presented in the listing photos, and I ended up buying new pillows/cases, and new white towels for friends who stayed with us for the horse show at the Horse Park because I felt so bad about not only the presentation of this property but it’s cleanliness. I bought bleach wipes for every bathroom, I spent over 60 to replace burned out light bulbs and make the bulbs that were present at least mostly uniform in color and type for the bathrooms. Some of the light fixtures were just broken and wouldn’t work even with new bulbs.The back door to the deck was jammed outward and extremely hard to open, and deck furniture hasn’t been cleaned or used in ages. The kitchen was poorly stocked with random mish-mash of glassware that was insufficient for 4 adults and 1 kid. Location to KHP was great, very kind neighbors and cute town.

The maintenance person needs to fix up like towel racks, toilet paper holders, the internet would not stay working had to use my phone hot spot had a mold smell but juat lite their candles other then that it was nice. Convenient for us going to the railbird festival

Good: Heat/AC, Hot Water, Washer/Dryer, All Kitchen Appliances work well. Large garage for unloading in private out of rain. Nice living room. Beds were comfortable, plenty of pillows. Quiet lot/area. Friendly neighbors. Walkable neighborhood. Very close to shopping and restaurants. Not so good: House in need to TLC. Master bath shower needs good cleaning. Kitchen floor sticky. Carpets could benefit from cleaning. Only one ceiling fan worked. Only 2 Bedroom TV had streaming devices that worked. Back deck was total mess and back house needs pressure washing. No working back deck light. Obvious not all sheets getting changed/washed, my bed had dog hair, a cough drop, and a small piece of metal in it (?). Neighborhood cars park everywhere. You'll need to be extra alert and careful as you need to 'maneuver' to the house. As stated with a little TLC would be an amazing location but in current state, would recommend you wash everything on arrival.

Quick trip with my mom to visit my daughter who is interning in the Georgetown area. The house is in a good location close to downtown and about a mile from a Walmart. As an over of several rentals myself, I understand there is always something to fix or address in your rentals. Sometimes they are easier than others. While we figured out how to make the house work, I would strongly recommend the following easy fixes. 1. Buy new towels. The towels located in the master bath were pretty gross. They were all different colors, pretty worn though, and had threads hanging from them. We went to Walmart and bought 3 new white bathtowels which we left at the house for the next quest. They are on sale for 3.98 so getting 10 and splitting between the bathrooms (and throwing away the current ones) would make sense. 2. There is no shampoo, conditioner, body wash/soap, etc in any of the bathrooms. I saw the owner cutting the grass and asked him. He confirmed they dont supply. This makes no sense to me as this is a need for all of our renters. Again, we went back to Walmart and purchased some small ones for each bathroom. 3. The downstairs thermostat is locked and set on 64. It was freezing on the first level. When I asked about this, I was told to adjust the upstairs thermostat which was set to 71 and unlocked. The upstairs was quite comfortable so we made due by bringing blankets downstairs. 4. More kitchen appliances are an absolute must.

Our overall stay started very positive. Although a few key things to note.... There is absolutely no courtesy amenities so be prepared to bring everything down to a bar of soap and coffee pods. The stairs could be a considered a trip hazard as the carpet is loose and the planks are not very secure. As far as cleanliness, it was not bad, however the showers/fans could use a deep clean. In regards to the comfort level of beds, the master bedroom was very nice, however the three other beds are basically relatable to sleeping on a wood pallet with minimal bedding and lacks blankets. The downstairs AC is locked with no ability to adjust and it was set at low 60's, which was extremely cold. Communication was good, aside from the rude message we received around 10:40ish that we were late checking out and we needed leave immediately to avoid an additional fee. Per the listing, check out was 11am and we were within that time frame.

I've never had to leave a bad VRBO before, so this is a first. Upon arrival the home was unacceptably dirty. Greasy stove, animal hair in the bedding, dirty coffee maker, animal hair tumbleweeds in the closets, human hair in the bathroom drawers. We left within 45 minutes and checked into a hotel. I was too angry so I waited to contact the host in the morning. We assumed it was a cleaning company issue, and after sending a message requesting a refund, we heard nothing for a week. Upon the second attempt, the host accused us of causing the problems, even though the home has a RING camera and they know we left. Then the host had the audacity to give us a poor guest review. Save yourself the frustration, and avoid this home. I'm sure there are many other good options in the Lexington, KY area.

Everything went very smoothly for our stay - easy self check-in and checkout. House was clean and well main and it was great being able to use the garage.

Nice place in a quiet residential neighborhood. About 10 min from Kentucky Horse Park and 10 min from some cute restaurants & shops in Georgetown. Clean, and as pictured.

We enjoyed out stay. The house was as listed, very comfortable, clean and just the right size. We had plenty of specious bedrooms and 2.5 baths. We have utilized VBRO on several occasions and this one has been one if the nicest by far!

We are a family of six, two adults and four children ages 8 to 13. We enjoyed this house for the location to the Ark Encounter and Horse Park. Four bedrooms and four beds worked well for our family too. Unfortunately, the dining room table only sat four people. There was not a picture of the dining room on the listing, so it's my fault, but that's one of the key items I look for in a VRBO is if the table can fit six people so we can have meals together. AC worked great. Beds were comfortable.

Just a few items for future guests. 1) not enough eating utensils for 8 guests 2) shower liner in hall bath needs replacing 3) two ceiling fans in guest bedrooms did not work 4) both trash cans were full when we got there. They were next to garage and smelled terrible. We moved them to the side of house.
