Lovely home in a quiet neighborhood
We stayed for four nights and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The host responded immediately to any questions, and was so friendly and helpful. The house is in a safe and quiet neighborhood, but is a super short drive to downtown. The inside of the home was extremely clean, and was decorated nicely. The host was able to maintain the charm of the old home while making it fresh and updated. The beds were BEYOND comfortable, and the kitchen had everything needed. The back yard was neat and spacious, and our dog and children loved running around. The house was the perfect size for a family of four and a dog. We would absolutely recommend this home to anyone looking for a stay in Lexington for short or long term!

Good location
Overall this was a nice property in a good location. The neighborhood was quiet and perfect for a two-night stay in Lexington. I was able to book a stay within a day's notice (weekdays), so that made our last-minute plans possible! The couch was hard to sleep on, and you could tell that dogs had been there in the past. But we didn't mind and the property had everything we needed. Thanks for having us!

Great stay near UK
We had a great stay at Isla's Landing. Hosts made check-in a breeze and even equipped the house with baby gear when we mentioned that we would be bringing our 2-month old. The yard is very pleasant to sit in during the evening hours. Highly recommend this place.

Oasis in Lexington
This house is perfect no matter what your plans. Centrally located, it’s close to UK, short drive to Keenland or Rupp Arena. The neighborhood is quiet, the backyard was fenced which was a bonus, as my big lab travels with me. I slept like a rock, so I give A+ for the mattress. Allen was a wonderful host, answering e mails promptly. When in Lexington, I’ll always check for availability here. Highly recommend.

This house was super cute!!! Great location, quiet neighborhood and had a nice fenced in backyard. Only complaint would be that the mattresses are hard, but would definitely stay here again! Allen was extremely accommodating and quick to reply to messages.

Clean, comfortable, and accommodating!
My friends and I stayed here over a weekend for an event. The three of us had plenty of space to lounge, cook, and dine inside. The space is well-lit and prime for recovering after a weekend of fun. The AC/central air was a god-send during the small heatwave as well. It’s worth noting that the space is located within hearing distance of a semi-active railway, but was easily ignored with the application of a fan or noise machine. Would certainly stay again!

Week long Lexington visit
This is a clean,well updated home with hardwood floors and modern kitchen and furniture. The fenced in backyard was absolutely fabulous for our dog (& us bc I’m over the leashes!) This is in such a convenient area. We’ll definitely reserve this again when we visit family there next time. By far one of the best VRBOs we’ve stayed in.
