This is an older home, but the kitchen is updated and the house has “charm”. So easy to walk to downtown Lexington for dinner, then head over for ice cream while walking back!

RTTH Stay
Beautiful cozy old home! Original wood molding, floors and stair case! Unique bathroom and shower! Live plants are a very nice touch!! Front bedroom has street noise but quiets late evening. Emergency vehicle traffic nightly at least once. Beds, bedding and pillows so so comfy!! Parking is accessible on a busy street but not bad. Easy check in and the host was exceptional in responding to our needs or questions! I would definitely recommend staying at The Bell House!!

Lovely Historic Home in Lively Neighborhood
The home has a lot of character. Decorated beautifully and comfortably. Neighborhood is very busy and closed to many activities.

Great stay!
We really enjoyed this house! It’s very old and historic, such a unique place. The host was excellent. Bedrooms are a little toasty likely because they are on 2nd floor and it’s an older house with lots of windows. The street can be a bit loud at night but it’s downtown, so that’s expected! Definitely recommend staying here!

Broadway charm
The home is a beautiful spacious historical home close to the downtown area. It felt very comfortable there, and the furniture and decor was nice. The beds were comfortable. Lots of resturants and attractions near by. We arrived in after dark so it was a nice touch having lights already turned on for us.

Cute and comfortable
The property was clean and spacious and certainly came with all the quirks of a very old home. This rental is easily walkable to downtown, a great value for those who enjoy the amenities of short term rentals.m
