This home built in 1938 has lots of charm but modern conveniences from a 2024 rehab and is centrally located, in the St. Matthew’s neighborhood. It boasts three masters, all on different floors with king beds. The remaining two bedrooms include two full beds, a twin, a nursery/office with a crib, and a living room couch pull-out with a queen memory foam mattress. There are 3.5 bathrooms two of which are en-suite. It has a private, covered back porch with a fire feature and driveway parking pad that can park 4 cars off the street with additional street parking. This home is nestled in a quiet neighborhood, but walkable to multiple restaurants, bars and coffee shops. It’s a 12-min drive to downtown Louisville and the expo center and 15-min. drive to Churchill Downs and UofL stadium. The master in the basement is a 1,000 square foot studio suite, with a king bed, living room with a five-seater couch and large TV, coffee bar, full bath with wet sauna spa, and laundry room, perfect for privacy for an additional family/couple to stay. Ask about our stroller, high chair and extra pack and play rentals program for babies so you can travel lighter!

The accommodations were very good and had everything we needed. My only negative is there are too many decorative glass pieces sitting around just waiting to be broken. Otherwise I have no complaints at all. Thank you for allowing us to stay in this nice place in a great location.

Super cute in a great area!

Super cute house in a great area. The host was extremely responsive and accommodating. There was a small miscommunication regarding how many bedrooms there were, but she immediately recognized the error and corrected it. 10/10!

Great Derby Weekend

The entire house was beautiful. It had everything we needed and really felt like home. We especially enjoyed hanging out on the back porch. Catherine was extremely accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. It was close to downtown Louisville and Churchill Downs. I would definitely rent again.

A group of 7 adults stayed in this VRBO as a get together to explore the Bourbon trail. The property was clean and very nice inside. With the 2 king beds, there was plenty of sleeping space for everyone (4 people shared 2 king beds). The neighborhood was nice and within walking distance (10 minutes, not sidewalks all the way) to places to eat. An easy 15 minute drive to Louisville. Communication with the host was excellent!!!

Perfect for large adult family!

The house is beautifully decorated and it had all the amenities we needed! We had multiple married couples in our group and each had a large room with extremely comfortable beds. There are 3 levels in the home, so know you’ll be climbing stairs. We were in town for our son’s wedding and we were able to have small groups of extended family come by to visit in the living areas and on the back porch. We also were able to host a breakfast and place to get ready for our son’s groomsmen. The host kindly provided extra tables and clothing racks for our groomsmen, which was very thoughtful. The location had a nearby Target and Kroger which made shopping a breeze and many in our group took walks in the neighborhood. We would highly recommend this property!
