Family Wedding
Came for a Family Wedding. Stayed from a Friday to Sunday.
Danville KY was about 30 Minutes away. It's the closest city, enjoyed the shopping area. Had a Bk, McDonald's, Cracker Barrel and a Pizza/Italian Buffet called Giovanni's very good. Has a Walmart and Ollie's. Good location to check out for shopping.
House was Beautiful inside, nice setup upstairs and downstairs.
Hopefully Host got toilet downstairs in full working condition so you can have full use of toilet & tub.
All in all we had a nice Visit.

One toilet didn’t work, no railing at entrance, ceiling fan in kitchen was filthy, several chairs in the kitchen were broken. Our car drug when we pulled out of gravel parking area. We had 2 on canes and with no railing it was very hard entering and leaving.

Nice Place
We enjoyed our stay and were pleased with the house overall. It was very clean and communication was top notch and timely. Our only issue was the cleanliness of the pool. The pool required us to thoroughly skim it (well over an hour) and we were unable to completely remove the large amount of decayed and decaying leaves. When questioning whether the pump was operational we were told that it was on a timer to run over night. While we believe that this was the case the cycle may need to run for a much longer time due to its location under a walnut tree. Overall we had a great stay.

Great setting in central location
Location central to Shaker Village, Danville and Lexington - we spent a day in each, along with several tours on the Bourbon Trail. The house provided a wonderful gathering place, with kitchen/living room, front porch and firepit. Enjoyed the rural location, with lots of walks in the neighborhood. The house has been nicely updated and has lots of nice decorating touches. Very comfortable for our group of 6 senior (or almost senior) women.

Not as expected
Below is the owners response to me asking if he would consider some type of refund for the issues we had at his place. The sewer line was stopped up for the down stairs bathroom. We wasted a day waiting on the plumber to come and fix the line. The wax ring was bad on the toilet after they fixed the line so then the smell from the septic tank was flooding into this bathroom so it was unusable. The toilet was grouted to the floor so the plumber couldn't replace the wax seal. We just kept the door shut. My full review was to long and they want allow a link to a full review with pictures of all the issues we had at this location. So here is the summary. No heat in the basement. There were two hot water heaters but we didn't have enough hot water for only 6 adults spacing out showers. The kitchen in the basement was unusable. The washing machine was standing full of smelly water as it was broken. Below is the response that I received from the owner. Owner: Let me suggest that next time you come to this area that you stay at the FULL SERVICE Marriott downtown Lexington! They have a concierge, full time staff, maintenance and cleaning! No it runs about $xxx a night so 3 rooms will set you back $xxxx a night. Oh yea they don't come in your rooms during your stay so don't count on maid service. This is a post Covid19 thing. This way next time you can have a nice Easter and get all you are looking for in a place to stay! Oh by the way my Easter wasn't good either bc I had to deal with an unrealistic guest that spend his whole time complaining about the house and yet he calls himself not a complainer. That is funny. Good luck to you.
I have rental property and I don't like people complaining about minor issues. This was a major issue that someone knew about and should have not rented this property until it was fixed. The bathroom was locked when we arrived and windows upstairs were left open. I feel this was done to air the smell out of the house and hope that we just didn't need to use the bathroom downstairs. I wish I could put the full review here but this is all that will fit.

Worked for 2 nights (sorta)
Huge house. Only sleeps 10 comfortably. The futon was hard as a rock which meant we had to sleep with a child between us.
The vrbo search stated the property was close to the Kentucky Wildcats football stadium, but it was almost an hour away. I should have messaged the host prior to booking.
Cleanliness was not to our standard. We had to buy detergent and wash the master sheets to remove musty smell. Master bath toilet had a mold ring. Trash in downstairs fridge, kitchen and laundry room when we arrived. Bugs ran out from behind downstairs oven when we turned on the lights. Upstairs fridge, oven and warming tray were dirty.

From the initial communication to locking up on the way out, our experience was flawless. A truly beautiful property with plenty of room for a large group. We were in town for Railbird at Keeneland and this was the perfect place to rest and relax outside of the festival. The host was communicative and eager to help. This was such a great experience and we absolutely reccomend this property!

Perfect Staycation
After months of staying home we needed a change of scenery without breaking the bank or a long drive. This home was the perfect oasis for our family to celebrate a birthday weekend with close friends. The house was very clean and had plenty of space for the kids and adults to spread out and enjoy. All of the beds and bedding was comfortable and felt very clean. The dads and the kids ventured out one morning down the creek bed all the way down to Lake Harrington and came back with drenched shoes and huge smiles! The property owners were extremely hospitible and we felt like we were staying at a friend's home rather than a rental.
We would love to come back sometime, and hear there may be a swimming pool coming next year!! Our only suggestion would be to increase comfortable seating both inside (Dining area and basement) as well as outside around the fire pit, so bring your own chairs for your outdoor relaxing.
Thank you for a memorable weekend!
