BREAKFAST
Bluegrass Urban Foodie
Breakfast at the Lyndon House can best be describes as “Bluegrass Urban Foodie.” For example, one menu favorite with guests is a Cinnamon Buttermilk Pancake service with a Blueberry-Bourbon Sauce.
A full breakfast is served in the first floor dining room between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. each morning. Of course, you may eat in the Sun Room or on the back porch as well. Coffee is available as soon as you smell it. Breakfast begins with freshly cut fruit, warm biscuits, chilled orange juice, and Columbian coffee. Then guests can choose either the daily special or typical fare such as French toast or eggs cooked to order.
Special dietary needs can be accommodated with advanced notice.

Professional Photos
No professional or wedding photos may be taken on the premises without the express permission of the innkeeper. If permission is granted a $250 fee may be charged for photos taken on the premises.
Parking
Lyndon House is located about five blocks from the center of downtown Lexington which places our guests near a wide variety of restaurants and interesting activities - but our location also means that parking can be an issue. However, there is free onsite parking for seven cars in the rear of the Lyndon House along Brent Alley - and right down the alley (100 ft.) there is ample on-street public parking on historic Fayette Park, which is also free.
Property Damages
Charges for property damages will be assessed on an individual basis.
No Smoking
The Lyndon House is most definitely a smoke-free environment. In fact, a $250 cleaning fee will be charged for smoking in a guest room because the smell permeates the furnishings.
Sub-Letting
A guest shall not sub-let or grant any license to use the Premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of the Innkeeper.
Tipping
Tipping is the reward for good service rendered by our Housekeeper when they clean or refresh your room. In a B&B the recommended tip for the Housekeeper is $5-10 per day.
