A beautiful 3,000 sq. ft. house in an upper-middle class neighborhood, 7 miles from the University of Kentucky and downtown Lexington, and 5 miles from the airport and Keeneland. There is a small park across the street and a grocery store (Kroger) about half a mile away.

Although listed for 12 people, that's an arbitrary number because it depends on your sleeping arrangements/needs. There are six proper beds, plus two high-quality roll-away beds, a cot-like pull-out ottoman, an air mattress, a baby crib, and multiple couches and recliners.

One television in a common area downstairs and another in the master bedroom, both with YouTubeTV and Netflix subscriptions (or you can connect to your own streaming subscriptions). The internet speed is 500mps.

Bedroom 1 (master): king bed + + 1 queen bed + en suite bathroom
Bedroom 2: queen bed + shared bathroom

~~~~~
When making a reservation, please purchase trip cancelation insurance (it's really not very expensive) to protect yourself in the event of an unanticipated circumstance that forces you to cancel the reservation late (e.g., someone gets sick, injured, or dies; your event gets canceled or postponed; weather or other circumstances prevent you from traveling). I take no pleasure in keeping the money if you have to cancel late, but the cancellation policy is my trip cancellation insurance; I do not waive my insurance to protect you from the consequences of not having your own insurance.

In accordance with zoning ordinances and/or to address problems that have occurred with past guests, the following additional rules are enforced:

1) MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY of the property is limited to the lessor of (a) 12 people at any one time, and (b) one daytime visitor per registered guest at any given time. For example, if you have 5 registered guests then you can have a maximum of 5 additional awake-time visitors at any one time; if you have 10 registered guests then you can have a maximum of 2 additional awake-time visitors (to not exceed 12 total). These limits are determined by local regulations on short-term rentals.

2) QUIET TIME is 10pm to 7am. This is a quiet family neighborhood; if the neighbors can hear your voices, your music, or anything else from their property then you are too loud.

3) INTERFERING WITH THE SECURITY SYSTEM IS PROHIBITED. This includes tampering with, disabling, repositioning, or covering the cameras or security system equipment. (FYI, the cameras are positioned to watch all entrances/exits from outside of the house and in the garage; there are no cameras inside the living area of the house itself.)

4) NO SMOKING/VAPING. If someone has smoked/vaped in the house it will be quite obvious to those who do not smoke/vape (e.g., the cleaner, myself, and most subsequent guests). Any evidence (including smell) of smoking/vaping anything in or near the house will result in a minimum $200 charge to the damage deposit.

5) NO MOTORCYCLES. Due to noise complaints from neighbors every time a motorcycle has been at the house in the past, motorcycles are no longer permitted.

Most guests followed these common-sense rules even before they became explicit rules, but those who didn't have upset the neighbors (or the cleaner, myself, and/or subsequent guests in the case of smoking/vaping). Therefore, failure to comply with these rules can result in police involvement, eviction, and/or forfeiture of the deposit. Please note that the neighbors are aware that this is a short-term rental, and I have encouraged them to call the police and/or me if problems arise. That said, follow these rules and everyone will be happy. :)

    On the plus side: it was a great place for a family gathering of 11 - space for us to all be together with bedrooms enough for private times; we observed no safety problems; kitchen, bath and bedroom supplies met all our needs. Jason responded quickly to texts. On the minus side: we needed instructions on such things as using the coffee pot, use of the fireplace and regulating temp. - could never get it above 68 degrees with some areas much less. It was in the 20's outside. One of the folding beds was broken but not needed. Before checking out we awoke to find significant amounts of water on the kitchen floor in front of the sink and on counters which we later observed over flowed the sinks when the upstairs bath tub was drained. Jason assured us he would be checking on that immediately.

    Our host had truly thought of everything. The instructions were the most thorough and well-organized I’ve ever encountered in a vacation rental. Every question was anticipated, every detail explained, and every feature of the home was clearly laid out.Because of that, we were able to focus entirely on the wedding weekend and not waste a moment trying to figure out where anything was or how anything worked. It made our stay smooth, comfortable, and absolutely stress-free.A first-class experience in every respect.

    A great stay ! The host was so quick to respond and allowed us to stay a few extra hours, thank you for being so flexible! The house was well stocked with everything we needed, did not skimp on bedding, toilet paper, etc. It was clean and the grounds/neighborhood are quiet and relaxing. Twinkle lights on the patio! My recommendation is to update the mattress in the room to the right of the upstairs bathroom, otherwise all was comfortable!.

    The house was very cozy and comfortable. However, If you like a softer mattress the room next to the master bedroom has the most comfortable mattress in the house, and is really low to the ground The rest are a little on the firm side. The queen bed in the master is softer than the king bed. That was really the only downfall. I would stay again.

    We loved staying here. Everything was streamlined. It was perfect for our group. It had a big table for games, a seperate room with a tv for football, all the rooms were comfortable.... lots of things you need to settle in. The only thing I would mention is there is only a tv in the small living space and in the master bedroom. For us that wasn't a big deal since we were there to unplug and spend time together. Just a great place for a stay in Kentucky!
