Pferd Himmel! Landhaus im Herzen von Lexington, Kentucky

This review is being assessed by VRBO and Expedia for multiple false and defamatory claims. Unfortunately it has become increasingly difficult to flag false or misleading reviews. In 9 years of hosting this home, we have never experienced negative claims made such as these. This guest was incensed that 4 people could not shower simultaneously and back to back without losing hot water. While this home does comfortably sleep 8 people, it is still a home vacation rental with one hot water heater. There are no plumbing, stair, or safetly related issues whatsoever in this home. The property is FULLY fenced. The master bedroom has a Kluft Cal King mattress, it measures 84" x 72." Our horses are our pride and joy. They are loved and cared for daily. Many horses in the bluegrass region are sensitive to the high sugar content in early spring grass, including our beloved mini, LD. He frequently exhibits symptoms of pain and laminitis if he isn't muzzled for a few weeks in early spring. He still eats and drinks plenty, but this allows us to let him stay outside in the pastures (where he and all the horses prefer to be) while reducing his high-sugar grass intake. Thoroughbreds thrive on this nutrient dense grass which is why this area is the thoroughbred breeding capital of the world. But other breeds and varieties can greatly struggle with it. Velvet, our little filly sharing a pasture with LD, is just learning "the ropes." She is just a baby and timid about being caught, haltered, and led sometimes. Letting her wear her halter and lead for longer periods is common practise among breeding and training farms. It helps get them used to it while having no pressure. We are always happy to answer guest questions, and offer interactions with the horses during guest stays. We have always had high marks for cleanliness, and regularly replace towels, sheets, pillows, etc. as needed. Beach towels for hot tub are stored in the open shelving in laundry room. We did get a new Kova pit couch. It is lovely and very comfortable. Unfortunately this guest could not figure out how to slide the center ottoman which slides out easily. I will update the listing photo of the couch!

Andy and his family were wonderful guests. They communicated well, left the home clean, and I would be happy to host them again.
