The space was clean, bright, easy to find, and secluded enough for privacy. The small outdoor deck was a quiet spot for morning coffee and news browsing. The kitchen was well-equipped and even had some bonus snack items. The bed was clean and comfortable, the bathroom was bright and convenient with a walk-in shower and bathing supplies. This was a perfect spot for two people and we would definitely stay there again. ##### Allan B. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeanne S. 8 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Fantastic property. Perfectly setup for 2 adults to work remotely, one in the front room and the other at the kitchen counter. Property seemed new/fresh. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Location is super convenient to walk to restaurants/shops. Only difficulty is the parking. There is no dedicated parking for this property. You have to rely on public parking which requires moving your vehicle every day between a lot that allows daytime parking and the street that allows overnight parking. ##### Jeanne S.

So charming and comfortable, this cottage provides absolutely everything one might need. Serene, uncluttered, well designed space…plus walkable to shoppes, great restaurants, church. Every aspect was well planned and thoughtful. Communication was super prompt, friendly and clear. We will absolutely book this again next time we visit Lexington. Highly, highly recommend. ##### Roberta R.
