Whenever I travel, I typically book a “Vacation Rental By Owner” (VRBO) for lodging. Some of the reasons why they are a superior choice over hotels are:
- They are almost always less expensive;
- They have a kitchen (full house);
- You’re helping individual businesses…rather than large chains; and
- You can usually find one located in a unique part of the City.
My girls’ weekend trip to Lexington, Kentucky this past weekend was no exception. For a three bedroom 2 1/2 bath home, located in the Chevy Chase district of Lexington, just a few miles from the center of downtown, we only paid $475 for two nights, which included the house cleaning fee. The next few photos are where we stayed…
This was the bedroom I slept in.
Everything was updated and we all loved the decor!
This eclectic bookstore was located down the street from our rental…as well as quite a few restaurants and other boutique stores!
In Cincinnati we have decorative pigs everywhere and in Lexington there are horses everywhere…
I stayed at another beautiful VRBO this summer in Seattle, Washington that was located on Puget Sound. If you’d like to check it out…click here.
Hope your weekend is great!!
