Keene House | Your Home Away From Home

6 Bedroom House in Keene, Lexington

A beautiful 3,000 sq. ft. house in an upper-middle class neighborhood, 7 miles from the University of Kentucky and downtown Lexington, and 5 miles from the airport and Keeneland. There is a small park across the street and a grocery store (Kroger) about half a mile away.
Although listed for 12 people, that's an arbitrary number because it depends on your sleeping arrangements/needs. There are six proper beds, plus two high-quality roll-away beds, a cot-like pull-out ottoman, an air mattress, a baby crib, and multiple couches and recliners.
One television in a common area downstairs and another in the master bedroom, both with YouTubeTV and Netflix subscriptions (or you can connect to your own streaming subscriptions). The internet speed is 500mps.

When making a reservation, please purchase trip cancelation insurance (it's really not very expensive) to protect yourself in the event of an unanticipated circumstance that forces you to cancel the reservation late (e.g someone gets sick, injured, or dies; your event gets canceled or postponed; weather or other circumstances prevent you from traveling). I take no pleasure in keeping the money if you have to cancel late, but the cancellation policy is my trip cancellation insurance; I do not waive my insurance to protect you from the consequences of not having your own insurance.
In accordance with zoning ordinances and/or to address problems that have occurred with past guests, the following additional rules are enforced:
1) MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY of the property is limited to the lessor of (a) 12 people at any one time, and (b) one daytime visitor per registered guest at any given time. For example, if you have 5 registered guests then you can have a maximum of 5 additional awake-time visitors at any one time; if you have 10 registered guests then you can have a maximum of 2 additional awake-time visitors (to not exceed 12 total). These limits are determined by local regulations on short-term rentals.
2) QUIET TIME is 10pm to 7am. This is a quiet family neighborhood; if the neighbors can hear your voices, your music, or anything else from their property then you are too loud.
3) INTERFERING WITH THE SECURITY SYSTEM IS PROHIBITED. This includes tampering with, disabling, repositioning, or covering the cameras or security system equipment. (FYI, the cameras are positioned to watch all entrances/exits from outside of the house and in the garage; there are no cameras inside the living area of the house itself.)
4) NO SMOKING/VAPING. If someone has smoked/vaped in the house it will be quite obvious to those who do not smoke/vape (e.g the cleaner, myself, and most subsequent guests). Any evidence (including smell) of smoking/vaping anything in or near the house will result in a minimum $200 charge to the damage deposit.
5) NO MOTORCYCLES. Due to noise complaints from neighbors every time a motorcycle has been at the house in the past, motorcycles are no longer permitted.
Most guests followed these common-sense rules even before they became explicit rules, but those who didn't have upset the neighbors (or the cleaner, myself, and/or subsequent guests in the case of smoking/vaping). Therefore, failure to comply with these rules can result in police involvement, eviction, and/or forfeiture of the deposit. Please note that the neighbors are aware that this is a short-term rental, and I have encouraged them to call the police and/or me if problems arise. That said, follow these rules and everyone will be happy. :)
