What a great place to stay! Great location close to downtown Louisville. Plenty of sleeping options for my 5 friends. Great communication with owner. Highly recommend this place for your bourbon trail experience.
House is super super cozy! Was decorated very nice with Christmas warmth as well. Beautiful bedrooms and bathrooms. Easy parking and access to everything!
The house was spotless, and the location to everything was fantastic . This place is a gem! The host was extremely responsive and the house had everything we needed.
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 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!
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!!!
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!
