The house is immaculate both inside and out, with many fine interior details. I guess the best way to describe it would be a combination of elegant and cozy. We stayed in the Bluegrass Suite, which is spacious and has a king bed. It overlooks the back garden (great fall colors). The shower had good water pressure. The room was squeaky clean and very quiet. It has it's own thermostat. Breakfast is incredible, with fruit and hot biscuits the second you get downstairs, then Anton takes your order with two different options! The food is exceptional. Easy walk to downtown, and we even walked all over the UK campus and back. Anton is easy to talk to and is very accommadating. Highest recommendation.

My new wife and I spent our honeymoon here for one night. The house was beautiful and very clean. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. We missed the breakfast part because we overslept, but I did take some food out of the fridge and it was good. The outside property was very impressive.

My husband and I had a wonderful Fall vacation at the Lyndon House. The location was ideally located close to downtown Lexington. The house was lovely. The room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious. Anton was a very gracious host and very willing to help with reservations and whatever else a guest might need. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this inn and hope that I get to visit again soon.

My husband & I stayed at the Lyndon House back in June, where we celebrated our first anniversary. We can't say enough great things about our stay & experience at the Lyndon House. We will definitely return in the future.

We went to Lexington for a football game and stayed at the LH at the suggestion of friends in Lexington. What a lucky break for us. The house is really something to see, and the breakfast buffet was too good. The place has a very relaxed atmosphere so we were comfortable the minute we walked in. Had our own key so we just did our own thing when we felt like it. Nice that we weren't nickle and dimed to death - drinks and snacks were free.

Every thing of our stay was outstanding. Have already made recommendations and will do again to anyone who is looking for a bed and breakfast in near or in Lexington.

I went to Lexington for a girl's weekend and absolutely loved the Lyndon House. Excellent location and by far exceeded any hotel for service and rooms. I felt like I was staying at my family home...only wish I could have stayed longer.

We chose the LH because of the website and we were not disappointed. The room was spacious and clean; the towels, white, fluffy, and seemed like new; would have preferred pillows that were not foam...a choice would be nice. The patio setting was delightful and we enjoyed our cocktails there the two evenings we stayed. Met lovely people also staying at the Inn who were duly impressed, as we were, w/the excellent breakfasts. We may rebook for the Equestrian Games in 2010.

We stayed at the Lyndon House following our wedding at the Carrick House. It was a perfect choice for something unique and romantic, since we aren't honeymooning until January, but still wanted to mark the occasion in a special way. I wish we could have stayed longer! The breakfast was delicious and we were treated with such care and attention to detail. It felt like a little mini-vacation!

We received as a gift from wonderful friends our honeymoon night stay at the Lyndon House in the Bluegrass Suite. That night there completed our perfect Wedding Day!

We won a stay at the Lyndon House through an NPR giveaway and we couldn't have been more impressed with our prize! The Bluegrass Suite was massive, with comfy furniture and cozy privacy. Even the soap was amazing. The house is beautifully kept and the blueberry pancakes in the morning were awesome. Thanks for the fantastic and memorable stay!

We rented out six rooms and used the common areas to host a baby shower. Everyone was impressed with the historic features of the home and all were very complimentary. Some were from Lexington and didn't know it was here so now they will share with their friends and family. The weather was snowly and icy and Anton kept the walkways clear so our guests would be safe. It was a great and memorable weekend!

My fiance and I were married at The Lyndon House on 11/1/08 utilizing the Elopement Package that was offered. We stayed in the Bluegrass suite which was very comfortable and decorated nicely. The innkeeper, Anton, was our officiant and did a wonderful job on our wedding ceremony. We were lucky that the weather was still beautiful and the photos we had done at the Inn have issued quite a lot of comments from friends and family about how beautiful everything was. Our wedding dinner at Jonathon's (included in the elopement package) was one of the best meals we had ever had and fitting for our evening. We definitely plan to return.

Six of us met at the Lyndon House last month for an early holiday celebration and had the best reunion possible. Not only is the place beautiful, but it's huge and it is peaceful. Felt like we were at a private hotel without a bunch of noisy guests so we could take over the house. It was tastefully decorated for Christmas - not too much stuff everywhere. And the owner sent us to two wonderful restaurants for dinner that were about four blocks away. Very glad we found it.

We stayed at the LH two weeks ago for the Keeneland Races and loved every minute of it. What a house! The place is huge so you don't feel like the other guests are right on top of you. We made ourselves right at home for three days. Hated to leave.

We spent 2 nights here at the end of June, 2008; staying in the Headley Room. The Lyndon house is beautifully decorated, very clean and well maintained. There is limited parking behind the house. The lawn and flower gardens are well kept. Anton is a gracious host, assisting us with maps, information on local attractions, etc. He is knowledgeable of the area and cooks a great breakfast. His blueberry pancakes are the best I have ever eaten. The B&B is within walking distance to downtown Lexington. There is much to see and do in the area, lots of historical sites to visit/tour and the local horse farms are outstanding. Although our visit was short, we toured the historic Mary Todd Lincoln House, the Cassius M. Clay homesite, the Woodford Distillery, and went to Keeneland Racetrack to watch the early morning workout of the horses. It's a great place to visit - we will go back. JR

i would have rated the room higher, but the bed was awful. felt (and sounded) like a stuffed straw mattress. really took away from an otherwise very attractive b&b. Service would have been better had a received a receipt upon departure instead of a comment that "your card was charged when you made your reservation". sounds ominous...

We decided to stay in Kentucky for vacation this year, so we went to Lexington to take the kids to the Ky Horse Park. Friends had told us how nice the Lyndon House was but we didn't know if it would work for our kids (8 and 11). When the owner bumped us up to a suite with two rooms that was open for no additional charge, we were stunned - then the boys had plenty of space to sleep on the foldout couch in a separate room from ours. The place was huge and we felt like we were at a private hotel. The horse park was truly wonderful but our rooms were amazing. Thank you !!

We had never stayed at a B & B because we didn't know what to expect. Well, our experience was the best. My friend was blown away when he realized we really didn't have to get up and go out to breakfast and pay $25 more for it - breakfast was downstairs! (cool) And the food was better than anything we would have found in a local restaurant. The owner gave us a few choices and then cooked what we asked for. And the blueberry pancakes were great. He even put our coffee in to-go cups for our trip home. That was really nice.

I have stayed 3 times at Lyndon House, and consider it "my old Kentucky home". No hotel can match the charm and warmth of this stately Lexington B&B. Each visit was a pleasure, and an exploration, as I stayed in a different room each time. The House is beautifully decorated, and the garden cannot be matched. Terry is the most genial and accomodating of innkeepers. He is well versed in the area, its attractions, as well as its history. He is a fine chef, and a grand conversationalist. Be sure to ask for the recipe for Keeneland eggs, a house specialty, or as I prefer to call them: Eggs al la Anton. MG Petrino-Schaad

We have just returned from a lovely stay at Lyndon House. The accommodations were just as beautiful as they appear on the website, the breakfasts were terrific, and the host could not have been a better! We enjoyed sharing breakfast with other guests, and were delighted to show off our accommodations when my sister and her husband came to the House to meet us. We would definitely recommend Lyndon House, and look forward to staying there again the next time we visit Lexington!!

My husband and I came to Lexington recently to visit our son who is a student at UK. A friend had stayed at the Lyndon House last fall and said we would enjoy it. The house is beautiful and very peaceful. We swapped stories about our kids with the other guests at breakfast and got some good laughs out of that experience. I highly recommend it.

For my 18th birthday, my mom arranged for me and 5 of my friends to stay the night at the Lyndon House. We had an amazing time eating out at a neat resteraunt, and had fun walking around to look at the sites. My friends and i watched movies through the night having a blast, but when we finally went to sleep it was perfect! The next morning we woke up to a wonderful, fresh breakfast that we stuffed ourselves with! Besides the regular eggs and bacon, Mr. Giovanetto bought us delicous pastries! The lyndon house is amazing and i would definitely recommend it for everyone who wants a great stay!

We stayed at the Lyndon House two weeks ago to celebrate Valentines Day and had such a cool time. The place is really beautiful and our room was the best, but what we will remember the most is the FOOD. Our dinner came with the package so we trusted Anton would send us somewhere great...and we were not disappointed. We had dinner at Johnathan's and that was a meal we will remember for a long time....the service was perfect and my scallops were delicious. But there was more to come. The next morning when we went downstairs for breakfast I was amazed at the choices we were given. We could have any type of eggs, french toast, bacon, sausage, biscuits, etc. One of the other guests had poached eggs, another had cereal, and we stuck with scrambled eggs and omelettes with cinnamon rolls and juice. We ate so much that weekend it was ridiculous. We're going back for a friend's birthday next month.

We first stayed at the Lyndon House this summer and were amazed at the incredibly beautiful garden that greeted us when we walked through the back gate. The flowers were gorgeous... and there were lots of different plants in every color everywhere we looked...in pots on the back porch and in the beds. To make things even better, our room had huge windows that looked out over the back garden so we could enjoy the view any time. We're going back next weekend for Valentines and see what it's like in the winter....
