Perfect location

This was a perfect location for both a visit to Richmond and to Eastern Kentucky. Loved being able to walk up to a local coffee shop and having quick access to the university. Would absolutely stay here again. The only reason for 4 stars is that the property did not have laundry available - however, it was advertised accurately. I just overlooked that and being a family with teenage boys, it would have been a plus. But otherwise a perfect stay!

The property was gorgeous. It was very spacious and clean. We did find dirty sports bra and underwear under a chair that belonged to the owner of the house and their mascara. It was nice w the small touches. We booked our reservation for 6 adults. We had 5. The lady, who owned, kept asking for a number count and then try to send me an additional bill for people over 2 people. I booked here for 6 people. We had less people than 6 & we only even stayed there one night. Very ridiculous to try to send w bill after

Property is tucked into a quiet neighborhood. Modern appliances with a well appointed kitchen. Everything provided. Downstairs bathroom has a beautifully remodeled walk in shower. We spend most of our day time away from house, everyone had a bed to sleep in. Was too hot for a fire. Back porch is very nice. Loved it. Everyone wants to stay there next year!

Weekend Getaway!

Great location! We went to horse races at Keeneland on Saturday (about 40 minute drive) and hiked East Pinnacle in Berea College Forest on Sunday (about 20 minute drive). Beautiful and so much fun! House was spotless and included all necessary amenities. Host was very responsive to all my questions; provided lots of tips on dining options in area. EKU is just a block away! Beautiful campus to take a walk.
