Accommodations were great. We had a family vacation and enjoyed the pool. Property is near the interstate; easy to get to, some traffic noise. Close to local parks, Kentucky Kingdom, and downtown. Hosts quickly respond to simple questions/ concerns. Overall a wonderful experience.

The house is amazing! We had 4 couples and it worked so well. The host was very kind and helpful, we had no issues. It was a wonderful vacation and would love to stay there again! The kitchen was very large with a great island and bar area attached for all us to hang out and a great gathering room attached that we all could lounge around in. Deer wondered the property…a beautiful safe area!

Gorgeous Home with Great Character

The home was absolutely beautiful, the layout of the bedrooms really allowed our volleyball team families to have personal space but still be together. Wish the weather was warmer for the girls to have enjoyed the fantastic pool on the property. We would certainly stay here again! Thank you for a great trip Keith and Lisa!!!

Absolutely gorgeous home that was perfect for our multigenerational family gathering. Plenty of beautifully decorated living spaces for everyone to be together. The pool was a huge hit for adults and kiddos alike - so nice to have the baby pool as an option for our littlest family members. Lisa and Keith were extraordinary hosts. Thank you!

Incredible and Relaxing Stay

This is an incredible estate! The house is amazing, and the pool is perfect for lounging and playing with kids. Each morning and night we saw several deer traipsing through the yard, and the front lawn is huge, Big enough to play lots of games. You’re super close to downtown Louisville if you want to venture out, but you won’t need to, we stayed for 4 days and we never felt the need to leave.

Four generation family vacation

The home was beautiful. Indoor and outdoor flow worked well for large gatherings. The dining room was large enough for entire family to enjoy nightly dinners. The pool had a baby section that allowed smaller children to play but still be close to adults. Pool area was awesome.

Great house and hosts

I hosted a group of employees in town for a large trade show and we could not have been happier with our choice to stay at Stonecote. Everyone was comfortable and had space for privacy, but it was a treat to be able to socialize at the end of every day somewhere besides a crowded restaurant or hotel lobby. Great experience for all and our hosts could not have been more gracious. We will be back next year!

Beautiful, Clean, Lovely large house

My husband and I rented this house for our large family to attend our son’s wedding in Louisville. The house was perfect for our family. It was in a beautiful safe, quiet neighborhood surrounded by mansions. The gathering rooms were also large, which was great for hanging out. We did a lot of cooking and grilling at the house which was equipped with everything you would need.

weekend reunion

The house is a wonderful place to stay. It is centrally located in the city which makes it easy to get around. In addition to a really nice kitchen, there are gathering areas which accommodate a large group very well. The pool had already been closed but looks like it would be great fun in the summer. I've already recommended it to several of my friends.

Bourbon & Golf Luxury

Ten of us enjoyed the privacy and luxury of Stonecote’s accommodations. We spent 7 nights with a fantastic amount of interior space and outdoor seating areas. The kitchen exceeded our needs even though we had such a large group. Our hosts were immediately accessible both for local information and a couple of easily remedied issues. Our best VRBO experience in the last 5 years !

Cousin's Trip

The property was beautiful, there was 13 of us staying with plenty of room. The host was available and responded immediately when I needed them.The weather was a bit chilly so we couldn't enjoy the pool. The pool house was nice and located very close to the main house. The location was excellent and within 20 minutes from every where we wanted to visit. I would definitely come back!

A Southern Gem

The property was amazing with all the southern charm and beautiful grounds. Lots of amenities provided. Keith was wonderful. Any problem was responded to immediately. The pool was the highlight with the kids and adults alike. The boys played baseball in the spacious front yard while we sat on the front porch. It is such a beautiful property and would highly recommend it. We would love to come back.

Better than the pictures show!

We all said it was better than the pictures!! Spacious home. Clean, well-equipped and the hosts were very responsive. We had a couple little issues and Keith came right over to address. Beds were all very comfortable, kitchen was wonderful, and the salt-water pool with the fans to sit under was perfect. Multiple large game and sitting areas. We will definitely consider renting this again.

We booked this gorgeous home for a long weekend for a family of ten people. My brothers and I wanted to share time with our elderly parents, and we needed a place that was big enough for all of us and close enough to South Carolina that we could drive. This home was a perfect spot to celebrate life and time together. There was plenty of room and the kitchen is fabulous- 2 ovens, 2 dishwashers, a large gas stove, coffee bar, etc. There even is an additional dishwasher in the bar area. The house is wonderfully decorated, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed it so much that we did not even leave the property on Sunday. We used Instacart to get food to the house and just sat around and talked. It was great family fun!The hosts, Lisa and Keith, were there when we arrived to get us acquainted to the property. The house had everything at you could possibly need. My husband and I stayed in the pool house, which is large enough to live in permanently. Just a quick note here- the washing machine and dryer are located in the pool house. This was not a problem for us at all!!!I highly recommend staying in this property if you are visiting the Louisville area and the Bourbon Trail.

Absolutely Perfect!

Our group of 6 couples enjoyed 4 fabulous nights at Stonecote. The house is beautiful, spacious, and extremely well-stocked with everything guests might need. There was ample room to gather at the dining table, in various places in the house, and on the front and back porches overlooking the lovely grounds. We had lots of fun preparing meals in the enormous kitchen and butler's pantry. We took full advantage of the 2 refrigerators, beverage refrigerator, and ice machine. The 3 dishwashers made clean up easy! The location was perfect for us! The house is a short walk to the park with lots of green space while still being only 20 minutes or less drive from everything else in and around the city. Our hosts were helpful and responsive during the reservation process and welcoming, gracious, and attentive during our stay. We felt incredibly well cared for and knew that - if we needed it - help was just a phone call away. There are many reasons why this property has so many 5-star reviews! It was truly one of the very best VRBO experiences I have ever had. Thank you, Lisa and Keith!

The property is beautiful with a perfect balance of historic and modern. The large living room, family room, and dining room were perfect for spending time together with our group of 14. The pool was amazing! Very large and has lighting for night swims. The pool house patio had plenty of seating and outdoor fans in the covered area. The neighborhood was excellent. High end, safe, and only about 10 minutes to downtown. The owners were great communicators and available as needed. Great for a family vacation!
