468 N MLK is a 5-bedroom vacation home in Lexington that sleeps 12, from $206 a night, with fire pit, game room, hot tub. It is owned and managed by the Hillenmeyer family and books direct with no service fee.
The house
Pour the first coffee, watch the morning light pool across the kitchen island, and feel a whole house exhale around you. Tonight, twelve of your people gather under one roof in central Lexington — a round on the indoor golf simulator, a soak in the hot tub under the pergola, a fire crackling in the pit as the stories get louder. Downtown's bourbon bars and Rupp Arena are minutes away, but you may not want to leave. This is the home your group will still be talking about next year.
Five bedrooms, three full baths, room for twelve, and a layout built for a group that actually wants to be together. The home unfolds across three floors, each one giving someone a place to land.
The heart of the house is the kitchen — a bright, fully stocked space with stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and a four-seat island where the range lives and the conversation never stops. It opens into a dining area that seats eight and a living room with a gas fireplace, so the cook is never cut off from the crowd.
When the plates are cleared, the game room is where the night goes next. A Foresight golf simulator anchors it — play Pebble Beach in your socks — alongside foosball and ping pong for the grudge matches. Outside, a private putting green on lush turf lets the golfers keep at it.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS (sleeps 12 across 7 beds):
- 1st floor: King bedroom beside a full bath with walk-in shower — private, accessible, perfect for anyone skipping stairs.
- 2nd floor: Three bedrooms — two kings and a queen — including a master en suite, plus a full hallway bath with tub and shower.
- 3rd floor loft/bonus: Two king beds plus a double and an extra living area — a flexible retreat for kids, teens, or the late-night crew.
Every bath is stocked with body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. High-speed internet and a dedicated workspace keep the one person who has to log on happy, and there's a washer and dryer on site.
OUTSIDE, your own retreat: the hot tub tucks under a pergola for unhurried soaks, the fire pit gathers everyone for the last hour of the night, and a fenced backyard gives kids and pets room to run. Fire up the BBQ grill and let the afternoon stretch out.
Who This Home Is Best For
- Multi-generational families — a first-floor king by a walk-in-shower bath means grandparents skip the stairs, while kids claim the third-floor loft. Pack-and-play and kid-friendly touches included.
- Golf & bourbon getaways — the golf simulator, putting green, and hot tub make this a home base groups book the trip around, with the Bourbon Trail 20–35 minutes out.
- Wedding parties & reunions — past guests have hosted groom-and-groomsmen weekends here; the spacious common areas and big kitchen handle a crowd with ease.
- Wildcats & Keeneland weekends — minutes from Rupp Arena and a short drive to Keeneland, with parking for up to 8 vehicles.
- Pet-owning travelers — up to two dogs welcome (fee applies), with a fenced backyard so everyone has room to roam.
If your group wants to actually be together — cooking, competing, soaking, swapping stories — this is the house.
