Nice place but....

We enjoyed the house and it has potential but it would be much more comfortable with better chairs and lighting. The sheets on the king bed were microfiber and the elastic was shot and the sheets constantly came off the bed. The porch furniture was filthy and I wiped off one of the chairs and was amazed at the dirt.

Chi Omega Moms Weekend

Thank you for a wonderful stay! We enjoyed this cute home visiting our UK students for Mom’s Weekend. The kitchen had everything we needed. The fenced backyard was a hit for our dogs after a long drive from Chicago and mornings tossing the ball. We look forward to staying here again.

Lovely home in a quiet neighborhood

We stayed for four nights and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The host responded immediately to any questions, and was so friendly and helpful. The house is in a safe and quiet neighborhood, but is a super short drive to downtown. The inside of the home was extremely clean, and was decorated nicely. The host was able to maintain the charm of the old home while making it fresh and updated. The beds were BEYOND comfortable, and the kitchen had everything needed. The back yard was neat and spacious, and our dog and children loved running around. The house was the perfect size for a family of four and a dog. We would absolutely recommend this home to anyone looking for a stay in Lexington for short or long term!

Good location

Overall this was a nice property in a good location. The neighborhood was quiet and perfect for a two-night stay in Lexington. I was able to book a stay within a day's notice (weekdays), so that made our last-minute plans possible! The couch was hard to sleep on, and you could tell that dogs had been there in the past. But we didn't mind and the property had everything we needed. Thanks for having us!

We had a great stay at Isla's Landing. Hosts made check-in a breeze and even equipped the house with baby gear when we mentioned that we would be bringing our 2-month old. The yard is very pleasant to sit in during the evening hours. Highly recommend this place.

Oasis in Lexington

This house is perfect no matter what your plans. Centrally located, it’s close to UK, short drive to Keenland or Rupp Arena. The neighborhood is quiet, the backyard was fenced which was a bonus, as my big lab travels with me. I slept like a rock, so I give A+ for the mattress. Allen was a wonderful host, answering e mails promptly. When in Lexington, I’ll always check for availability here. Highly recommend.
