The house is decorated so nicely with lots of areas to gather. The location is fantastic with it being only a couple of miles from all of the downtown distilleries, restaurants and shopping. The owner was also very responsive. My husband and I stayed with our grown children and we loved hanging out in the backyard to watch the fireflies. Highly recommend this house!

Enjoyed everything about this beautiful property. Snow came in when we were supposed to check in and Matt made sure to communicate with us on check in. Extra blankets and towels, but my favorite part is that we had a private chef come in to the beautiful kitchen and cook us an amazing supper! Highly recommend

One of the best properties I’ve ever stayed at. Matt was communicative, had some great food/drink place recommendations, the instructions on check in and check out were clear and concise. We felt very welcome. The property was insanely gorgeous, decorated to perfection and was very comfortable for the 6 of us during our stay. We plan to rent it the next time we are in Louisville.

The Perfect stay in bourbon country.

Matt and Melissa were very informative and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay in Louisville. The property is absolutely amazing! A beautiful comfortable home with high end finishes worked into a historic building. The right mix of comfy and luxury. Very well situated in a nice quiet neighborhood, and a great launching point to explore the town. I couldn’t ask for more, and it will be our place to go whenever we visit the area.

I cannot say enough good things about this house! The design, the location, the property owner’s hospitality…it has it all. We stayed here to visit Louisville for a few days and travel to the Ark Encounter for a day. Matt was more than helpful with questions about the surrounding area, restaurants, and things to do. If we ever make it to the Derby, this is where we will stay. Don’t hesitate to book!

Great House to Experience Louisville

My family and I loved staying at this property. Owners were super responsive and helpful. 7 of us came for a trip to experience Louisville, Churchill Downs, and all of the surrounding distilleries. Awesome location to do everything we wanted to do. The house itself is extremely clean, well-kept and has all the amenities you need. We ended up spending more time at the property than we expected because it was that comfortable. We hope to come back to this property in the future, and thanks to the owners for an amazing stay!
