Perfect getaway - highly recommend!

Traveled to the area to catch a few bourbon tours with 4 couples (8 people). This house was perfect for us. We loved the historic feel and yet it was clean and modernized nicely. We loved walking to the restaurants, coffee shops and bars as well. The house had everything we needed and the owner was awesome to work with.

Wonderful Residence, Beautiful Location

We checked in on Friday afternoon. We walked to many of the local restaurants that were within blocks of this house. We had a wonderful time. The common areas are very nice and each bedroom was very comfortable and the neighborhood was very quiet . We loved sitting out on the porch and talking in the evening.

Christmas week family reunion

Eight of us from out of town, joined multiple family members who live in Louisville. We cooked large feasts in the kitchen and ate around the very large dining room table in high style. Then played endless games, puzzled, and took daily walks in nearby Cherokee Park, exploring multiple trails and walkways. We walked to nearby Bardstown Road, exploring boutiques, going to the local movie theater, and overall had a fantastic Christmas celebration. The owners provided a Christmas tree and everything we needed. All was absolutely wonderful.

Fantastic character home

Loved staying in this lovely home within walking distance to restaurants and coffee shop. Very clean with all the charm of an older home. Everything you could possibly need was available in the house and the host was very responsive. Highly recommend this home if you are visiting Louisville as it is a short drive to most places (airport, sports, museums).

First time to Louisville and totally enjoyed it! The house was in a nice neighbourhood that was safe and walkable to restaurants and grocery. Short Uber ride to Downtown and other area attractions like the Zoo, Mega Cavern and River Cruise. The house was beautiful with lots of beds and bathrooms. Host was very responsive and helped me with an emergency on my last day. Highly recommend.

Classmate reunion

Incredible neighborhood with lots of fun restaurants and shops within walking distance. Wonderful house and front porch. Would stay again! Stairs going to 3rd floor are very steep but to be expected in an older house. One of the full bathrooms is on first floor off the kitchen and all bedrooms are on upper floors. The beds, bedding and towels were first rate. Very comfortable. We can’t rave enough about the neighborhood!
