Weekend Getaway!
Great location! We went to horse races at Keeneland on Saturday (about 40 minute drive) and hiked East Pinnacle in Berea College Forest on Sunday (about 20 minute drive). Beautiful and so much fun! House was spotless and included all necessary amenities. Host was very responsive to all my questions; provided lots of tips on dining options in area. EKU is just a block away! Beautiful campus to take a walk.

Comfortable stay in a sweet home
We were very happy with our one night stay here. There was plenty of room to house our group of five. We all had a good night's sleep thanks to the very comfortable beds. We also appreciated the special touch of the artwork by the owner's mom; it made it feel like home.

Beautiful Home in Close Proximity to EKU
This was such a perfect home for our campus visit to EKU. The owner was so responsive and the home was beautiful, well-maintained, and felt warm and welcoming. Would absolutely recommend this home for those reasons as well as walking distance to EKU and many restaurants.

Close to campus and downtown. Stepped outside Friday evening 12/1 to witness the Richmond Christmas parade running along adjacent Lancaster Ave. Was a sweet surprise just steps away. Plenty of room for a family of 6-8 without feeling cramped.

Perfect location
This was a perfect location for both a visit to Richmond and to Eastern Kentucky. Loved being able to walk up to a local coffee shop and having quick access to the university. Would absolutely stay here again. The only reason for 4 stars is that the property did not have laundry available - however, it was advertised accurately. I just overlooked that and being a family with teenage boys, it would have been a plus. But otherwise a perfect stay!

Great location
House was very clean. Great location and within walking distance of a couple local restaurants. Beds were probably the most comfortable we have had staying at a VRBO. Lots of blankets throughout the house, which was perfect. They had everything you needed and then some. Very organized house. Host responds quickly too. The only con I have, is the upstairs shower has a window with frosted film cover. You can see through it enough to see a bit too much. We checked, so don't shower at night unless you block it . We were able to block it with a towel but they may want to get a different window film for it. We had a great stay.

Graduation Weekend
Loved the feel of home at every turn. ... even had a Christmas tree for us in the living room. And our family watched the Christmas parade from the front porch. This was the perfect location for visiting with my daughter during her graduation weekend. We were all comfortable, had easy access to everything in the area and especially EKU events. Thanks Lisa for sharing your home with our family!!! Brian and Michelle
