Comfortable stay in a sweet home
We were very happy with our one night stay here. There was plenty of room to house our group of five. We all had a good night's sleep thanks to the very comfortable beds. We also appreciated the special touch of the artwork by the owner's mom; it made it feel like home.

Beautiful Home in Close Proximity to EKU
This was such a perfect home for our campus visit to EKU. The owner was so responsive and the home was beautiful, well-maintained, and felt warm and welcoming. Would absolutely recommend this home for those reasons as well as walking distance to EKU and many restaurants.

Convenient location
Close to campus and downtown. Stepped outside Friday evening 12/1 to witness the Richmond Christmas parade running along adjacent Lancaster Ave. Was a sweet surprise just steps away. Plenty of room for a family of 6-8 without feeling cramped.

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!

College orientation
This was a great place within walking distance of EKU for my daughters college orientation. Very clean and comfortable beds. A great yard area is included if you are staying longer, as well as a grill! We would stay here again!
