Welcome to "The Spot" Southland/6 Miles to Keeneland!

Welcome to The Spot! Perfectly situated in the heart of Lexington. Our newly remodeled home is within walking distance to the shops, restaurants and weekend farmers market in the Southland neighborhood. Walking distance to UK's main campus and Kroger Field. The Spot can also be used as a launching point to explore bourbon and horse country.

Located on a quiet street, this 100 year old house was recently remodeled to include plumbing, lighting, and kitchen upgrades. The 2000 square ft. home features 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths. The 3 queen size beds all have Allswell “the Luxe” mattresses. The driveway fits 2 cars and there is street parking available. The kitchen is well stocked with all of the essentials if you want to stay in and cook. We have a brand new gas burning stove and a Weber charcoal grill in the backyard.

There is a smart TV to stream content, using your personal account. No cable or satellite TV. Our home backs up to the train tracks. There are freight trains running through the day and sometimes a few at night. Sound machines are provided in each bedroom if needed.

Excellent location for all things Lexington
The Spot has a very homey feel and in a quaint area of Lexington. We did have a small hiccup later in the evening but the hosts corrected it as soon as possible, and that is why I am able to give an Excellent rating. The one thing that should be mentioned is being so close to the train tracks. Unfortunately, the trains run all night long and since the house is so close to a street intersection, they blow the horns. The hosts provide sound machines and fans for each room, which definitely help, but if you are light sleeper, you will want to bring ear plugs. The location is amazing to get around Lexington. We were able to walk to the stadium and many great restaurants are within 10 minutes. The hosts communication was attentive and made us feel valued.

CATS getaway
The house was very cute and nicely decorated. The upstairs AC did not work very well. The train was right behind the house and would run at least once an hour or more. If you are headed to Kroger field for the football games, it's in a great location.

Great Girls Weekend Away
This was a great house for our girl's weekend away. The house was clean, had everything we needed and so much space for us to enjoy and relax. The number of rooms and bathrooms made it easy for us to enjoy. The location was ideal as it was close to everything we wanted to do.

Nearly perfect!
We’ve stayed in a lot of short term rentals and this property was by far one of the nicest! Beautiful remodel of an older home that is close to everything. Very well appointed. Great for our family of seven. Our only hesitation in making this our “Spot” when we visit home is the train traffic. In fairness, we knew there would be trains, but just didn’t expect the frequency or their horns as they approach the crossing at the top of the street. You don’t know ‘til you know!

Lovely stay
The Spot is exactly as described in the listing. It’s a comfortable, spacious, well stocked home. There is a lot of attention put into the little details. The house is located in a nice neighborhood with two great restaurants at the end of the block. The master bathroom is particularly wonderful! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Family Stay
This house was spacious enough for our family vacation. It was well equipped and very well decorated. Beds are also so very comfy! It's walking distance to a few restaurants and bakery. Aside from the train running behind the house, neighborhood is pretty quiet. I do have to mention that the train noise level is very high during the night. During our stay, it ran between 3-5 times during the night. If you're a light sleeper, reconsider booking this house. We also had a few dirty pans in the cabinets that cleaning crew missed. The kids really enjoyed feeding the fish and playing with the pine cones in the front yard.

Bachelorette Trip
Perfect house and location for a fun bachelorette trip! Between going downtown, out to eat, or going to Keeneland everything was within 15 mins of each other which made for an easy going weekend. Everyone really enjoyed their time at this house! And we all loved how adorably cute it was too!

Cousin's Trip
There were eight adults meeting for our annual cousin's trip. We wanted to see Lexington and the horse country. The house was centrally located to the places we visited. We enjoyed our walk down the street to the pub and grill where we met some of the neighbors from the area. The house was exactly as described and large enough for our group. It is a beautiful, remodeled home and was very clean. We enjoyed sitting in the backyard and the fishpond was a nice calming feature. The train is in the backyard and does go by very frequently. It will add to the memories from our trip to Lexington. Jen was very helpful when we contacted her before and during the trip.

Perfect for our trip!
We loved this house! It was perfect for our bourbon tasting trip. Jen was easy to reach when I was asking for a few coffee and restaurant recommendations. We ended up just walking to the restaurants at the end of the street both nights and enjoyed them both. The backyard was very relaxing with the koi pond. We will be back!
