    Gorgeous rooms, delicious breakfast, and a very accommodating host. Our flight was delayed so we checked in extremely late, but Anton left everything we needed. When we left 2 days later, we had to leave quite early and Anton was kind enough to give us a bagged breakfast and coffee to go. Whenever our travels bring us back to Lexington, we will be at the Lyndon House.

    I found the Lyndon House on the internet and chose it partly because of its proximity to work I had in Lexington. But now I want to return for pleaseure and take my husband along. Not only is the place in pristine condition, but the propietor, Anton, was charming and thoughtful. I was the only guest but he made me a full gourmet breakfast tailored to my dietary needs. Plus there is an elevator, a rare gift in B&Bs!

    We had stayed at the Lyndon House before for our anniversary and that's why we returned. It is a magnificent property coupled with marvelous service. I travel extensively throughout the world and this is by far one of the best properties that I stay at. We will return again.

    We recently stayed two nights at the beautifully restored Lyndon House. The weekend could not have been more perfect. The room was immaculate and clean and every detail was taken care of. The breakfasts were delicious and the coffee was perfectly bold. The home is so lovely and was quiet, roomy, peaceful, and everything you expect a quality B&B to have. Anton does an amazing job to allow service and privacy at the same time!
