Work and play; all under the same roof!
My company rented this outstanding house for a week's stay so that all of us could be together while attending a nearby trade show at the Expo Center. The house has all the amenities you could ask for! There were plenty of tvs for everyone to enjoy and the outdoor space (with gas grill and fireplace) made the chillier nights fun and tolerable. The location was perfect for us because groceries (Aldi's) and libations (liquour store) are within walking distance. We were able to independently work and play (watch all the college football games we desired) due to the ample space the house provided and the excellent wifi service. Speaking of service, they had it in spades when it came to taking care of the property and our needs. There was a minor heating inconvenience and they property manager had an HVAC person there to repair it almost immediately. I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone that needs a great house and needs it within this area of Louisiville. I promise you, you will not find a better place. We will definitely be back!

Bourbon Place review
I would probably give the property a 3.5 if I could do that. The property was pretty nice overall, and largely as advertised. Location was good for our needs. However, it was not advertised that the property was very near the north end of a runway of the Louisville airport, which is a hub for UPS. There was significant UPS air traffic starting at 4:45 AM. Long-term residents of the area might get used to the noise, but short-term rental occupants are not likely to. The upstairs bedroom has no towel bars, hooks, or otherwise. given the bathroom needs to serve occupants of 4 beds, this is unacceptable. The bed in the 2nd floor bedroom near the realty office is badly swaybacked. For me as a single occupant, that wasn't a huge deal, but is would be a big problem for two occupants.

The fellas did some bourbon.
One of our good friends turned 40 a month earlier and he is originally from Louisville. My birthday ended up landing on the same wkd and man oh man did we have a blast. The Bourbon house is just what the doctor ordered. Plenty of space, clean and cool set up. Tvs were easy to cast from our phones for some games as we wound down the night playing some cards. Would ABSOLTUELY stay here again. Near a bit of everything and great to get onto the roads for different bourbon tours. Awesome time!

The location was perfect for us and so very convenient. The property itself had everything our group needed and it was very neat and well kept. I am planning a couple of other bourbon tours with other friends/groups and will definitely inquire again for this house.

Great House for Group
The house was amazing for our group of 10. Everyone had a bedroom, and the shared spaces were large and inviting. We loved the openness of the kitchen into the family room. As well as the open back patio with the fire pit. We had a great stay. Brandon had quick and amazing communication.

Second time staying at this property and my family and I love it!
My family and I come in town for our family reunion and desired to all stay under one roof vs a hotel. This house has plenty of bedrooms and space. So you do not feel cramped. Not to mention conveniently located to the interstate, stores, downtown. The owner is responsive, one the propane tanks was empty and he responded quickly and brought another over. I highly recommend this property without hesitation.

We came in for a long weekend and found this house close to campus and the Expo Center. It was an amazing house for the ten of us. Plenty of bedroom space! House was renovated with modern conveniences with an awesome outdoor patio area. Plenty of parking and extremely easy access to road and highway access. We were very close to the airport but it was not an issue with noise! I would stay here again without reservation!

Great family vacation weekend!
We stayed in this beautiful home with our daughters and their husbands and our almost 2-year-old granddaughter. The home is beautiful, the beds are VERY comfortable, and we really enjoyed the patio! We would have liked to have one more place to sit in the living room, because we had six adults, but the hearth provided additional seating for us to sit and enjoy time together. The upstairs was great for a couple and a toddler. There's a small bedroom off of one of the upstairs bedrooms and we put the crib in there. There is also a seating area upstairs. Changes to the messaging system caused some delays in receiving messages on VRBO, but the property manager was very responsive by phone. We were within walking distance of Craft House Pizza, which we highly recommend. We had breakfast at Big Bad Breakfast which is only a few minutes away and had a great time in downtown Louisville at the Kentucky Science Center and Mussels and Burgers Bar. We will stay at Bourbon house again! Louisville is a great halfway point for the whole family to meet and this house is perfect for us!
