We really enjoyed our stay, besides being interested in the history since we are related to the Basye's. The house was beautiful and very comfortable.

We had an incredible 5-day stay at this stunning property perfectly situated between Lexington and Georgetown—just a quick five-minute drive in either direction. The location couldn’t be more convenient, and the home itself is absolutely beautiful. Inside, we were greeted by elegant antique furnishings and thoughtful period decor that made the space feel both historic and welcoming. If you appreciate classic architecture and vintage charm, this place will steal your heart. The host was fantastic—friendly, informative, and accommodating. Everything we needed was right there, making our stay seamless and memorable. We highly recommend this spot if you are staying in the Lexington area.

We had a wonderful stay! The home was clean, beautiful, and absolutely perfect for our needs. Everything was comfortable and well cared for, and it truly felt like a home away from home.We had one small issue with the oven, but we notified the owner and he responded immediately, which we really appreciated and it didn’t take away from our enjoyment of the house at all. The only things we found ourselves missing were a few mixing or serving bowls and a small hand mixer, otherwise, everything was just perfect.We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing, well-kept place to stay!

This house was perfect for us and our activity at the Kentucky Horse Park. Very close. Everything was clean, comfortable and easy. It's a great blend of historical with modern comfort.
