3141 Lamar Dr is a 5-bedroom vacation home in Lexington that sleeps 12, from $243 a night, with fire pit, game room, golf simulator. It is owned and managed by the Hillenmeyer family and books direct with no service fee.
The house
Picture this: sunlight glints off the pool, the hot tub steams as evening settles over Lexington's Lanesdown Park, and fourteen of your favorite people crowd the dining table for one more story before bed. This is your Bluegrass basecamp — five bedrooms, three and a half baths, a basement game room, and a backyard built for slow mornings and long nights. The trip you'll talk about for years starts right here.
Who This Home Is Best For
Multi-generational families in town for a Keeneland race day or a UK campus visit — enough bedrooms and bathrooms that nobody's stepping over anybody else. Wedding and reunion groups who need to sleep twelve under one roof instead of splitting across two hotel rooms and losing the whole point of being together. Bourbon Trail groups using Lexington as home base — close enough to Woodford Reserve and Buffalo Trace for day trips, with a pool and hot tub waiting when the tastings are done. Families with kids who need somewhere to burn energy — the basement game room and backyard pool mean the adults actually finish a conversation. Graduation weekends and small corporate retreats that want a house instead of a block of hotel rooms — the table seats fourteen for exactly this reason
Walk in and the first thing you'll notice is how the living room opens straight into the kitchen and out to the backyard — this house was made for a crowd that doesn't want to split up. The stone fireplace anchors movie nights; the island seats two for coffee while the dining table seats fourteen for the meal everyone actually remembers.
First Floor: The Master Suite has a king bed and its own ensuite full bath — the quiet corner for whoever needs it most. Bedroom 2 (king) and Bedroom 3 (queen) share a full bath and work well for couples or older kids who want their own doors.
Second Floor: Bedroom 4 pairs a king and a queen, ideal for a family that wants to stay together, with a shared hallway bath. Bedroom 5 (king) sits at the quiet end of the hall for the guests who turn in early.
Basement Bonus: A sofa bed and half bath give you a seventh sleeping option, right next to the game room — ping-pong, a basketball shoot, and a bar counter with seating for whoever's still up at midnight.
Bathrooms: Three full baths (two on the main floor, one upstairs) plus the basement half bath, all stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and fresh towels so nobody's digging through a suitcase for soap.
Kitchen & Dining: Stainless appliances, a large island, and enough cookware to actually cook for twelve — not just reheat. The dining table seats fourteen for the big breakfast before a Keeneland morning or the wind-down dinner after.
Outside: A covered porch, deck, and patio wrap the backyard, with a fire pit for marshmallows and string lights for the nights nobody wants to go in. The pool runs seasonally (April 1– October 31, heating available for an extra daily fee) and the hot tub is open all year — steam rising while the rest of the yard sits quiet and dark.
Check-in is keyless. A unique smart lock code is sent before your arrival, so there's no lockbox to hunt for and no front desk to wait on — just walk in and start the trip. The whole home is yours: every bedroom, both living areas, the kitchen, the basement game room, and the entire backyard including the pool and hot tub.
You're tucked into Lexington's Lanesdown neighborhood, with a park backing up to the yard and tennis courts next door — but the city's biggest draws are a short drive away.

The driveway holds up to six vehicles, and two more cars are permitted on the street — plenty for a full house of guests without a shuttle or a second trip to find a spot. One note: street parking directly in front of neighboring homes isn't allowed, so please keep extra vehicles in the driveway or the two permitted street spots.

🐾 Pet-Friendly Stay We’re happy to welcome pets in our property! We allow up to 2 pets, and there is a $100 pet fee per pet.
