Mid-June Lex Visit for W&L Maze Program

We (family of 5 - 2 adults, 3 teens) rolled into Lexington on a Thursday evening and stayed through Sunday. The home was lovely and the convenience of walking distance was fabulous for us to come and go, dine and sight see, walk to W&L Campus, etc. Plenty of room for more - as we were hoping another couple and their son were joining us - home would easily have accommodated 2 more adults and another teen. Beds were comfortable, kitchen / living area wonderful and front porch made for a relaxing retreat! As my husband and I are W&L alums, hope to re rent for reunions and other events in the future!! Owners and local friend very easy to reach with any questions we may have had, overall 10 stars if I could!!

White St Wonder

This is an amazing, well appointed, beautiful home. We enjoyed coffee and cocktails on the front porch, cozy family room connections with old friends, meals via the upgraded kitchen, and good nights rest in the comfy beds. This is our favorite home in Lex and where great memories are made. Hosts are responsiveness and Anna-Lisa was so very helpful at check in and throughout stay. Thanks for sharing your home.
