We really enjoyed our stay. Great location! We were able to walk to several restaurants and bars.Well stocked with everything you will need and everything is labeled so nicely. The only issue we had is the listing said there were 3 bedrooms with double or queen beds when 2 bedrooms had twin beds. One of our couples had to sleep in twin beds. But it wasn’t a big deal. Just beware!

Clean, Nicely stocked kitchen w basics, coffee station. Our group enjoyed visiting here at Wellington and it truly felt like visiting Grandma’s house. WiFi connection was good and allowed for telework! Beds were very comfortable and we slept well. Great location and outside of Lexington, near the intersection arterials. We visited Coolmore Farms and New Vocations, the amazing KY Horse Park & USEF Show (Pony Finals) several tack shops— great experience overall, great cottage and we ordered from Apollo’s pizzeria— the local info board in the kitchen is a great addition to our tourist adventures. We may be back next year! Thank you!

The property was gorgeous. It was very spacious and clean. We did find dirty sports bra and underwear under a chair that belonged to the owner of the house and their mascara. It was nice w the small touches. We booked our reservation for 6 adults. We had 5. The lady, who owned, kept asking for a number count and then try to send me an additional bill for people over 2 people. I booked here for 6 people. We had less people than 6 & we only even stayed there one night. Very ridiculous to try to send w bill after
