    I was searching for a bed and breakfast for a new experience. I work hard and wanted a place to relax. When I searched bed and breakfast in Lexington I was totally shocked and thought that it couldn't be true. I totally enjoyed my stay and will stay again.

    A great get away!

    We stayed here for 4 nights during a 2 week trip! It was so refreshing and relaxing to stay at a B&B instead of a hotel. Breakfast was just enough and the house was perfect! It was the closest B&B to the Horse Park. Beautiful horse farms all around! If you like horses, Jerry has a couple out back for you to pet! Hospitality was very welcoming and comfortable!
