Queen of the Castle

The Castle is just perfect. One of the best places I have stayed! Super clean, easy access and perfect location. The private balcony was so nice to enjoy my morning coffee and evening quiet time. Personal touches like fresh oranges and breakfast snacks were a welcomed surprise! I can’t wait to take my husband there next time.

We had a very enjoyable stay at the historic “Castle” in Lexington. It has been completely refurbished and is very comfortable. It is also conveniently located in downtown Lexington one block off of Main Street. It makes for an easy walk for shopping and dining, and to VMI and W&L. I highly recommend it.

Perfect Fall Getaway

We love visiting Lexington and now we have a new favorite place to stay. This property has it all the luxuries of a modern home yet it's one of the oldest buildings in Lexington. Very cool place! The location can't be beat and the host, Mary, was very welcoming. We will definitely stay here again....and again!

Exquisite property, outstanding hosts.

My better half and I wanted a quick getaway. Property is elegant & charming. Turnkey stay -- everything we needed was at hand. Upscale soap and shampoo in the bathroom. A nice bottle of local wine and fruit/snack basket took it over the top. Highly recommended.

Our Lexington stay.

We were the first to reserve this property and we sincerely hope there will be many more take time to relax and restore at this beautiful property. The "Castle" is an excellent little flat in the middle of the Lexington, very quiet area and centrally located to everything within a few minutes walk. Well decorated and very comfortable sleeping area. The terrace overlooking the yard is very peaceful and relaxing. Thank you and cheers to future rentals.

Wonderful!

This property is a jewel: small (just right for two!) but so, so beautiful. It is in a historic structure, with fabulous thick walls and operable screened windows with wooden shutters set into them, hardwood floors, high ceilings and tons of authenticity. The decor is just perfect for an old southern flat, with just the right amount of necessities for living and cooking for a week, and not a spec more. Mary, our host, was communicative and we had no trouble accessing the unit, nor did we lack for a thing. We will stay there every time we are in the area. Loved it.
