Germantown Getaway

Live like a local in a home located in the heart of Germantown/Schnitzelburg, Louisville's most vibrant neighborhood. Walking distance from loads of restaurants and bars, you can enjoy those things that make Louisville unique, day and night. When you return to your new home away from home, enjoy a rotating collection of local art, borrow a growler to get filled at one of the nearby breweries, or just relax on the back deck. Suitable for a quick weekend getaway or weeks at a time.

I loved the feel of the house. You could tell it had been there for a long time but was well taken care of. The beds were super comfortable and i appreciated that there was no TV in any bedroom. The wall of boardgames was a really nice touch.

We had a wonderful time. The location was great and close to a lot of attractions and food options. The home wasn’t as clean as we were hoping for (sheets and dishwasher) but over all we really enjoyed our stay.

This is a spacious property with funky decor in a cool neighborhood. Check in was smooth and there were plenty of supplies all around. I enjoyed my stay here and would recommend it. This is what VRBO properties should be!

This was a great, central location for checking out a few distilleries while in Louisville. Walking distance to several restaurants and less than ten minutes from downtown. The house was perfect for the four of us. We enjoyed our time.

We stayed here to complete the Bourbon trail. House in a good location in the middle of distilleries we had left. Home was clean. Parking on the street was normally available pretty close to the house. Nice towels

It was a cute shotgun home in a safe working class neighborhood. There were several neighborhood shops, resturants and pubs all in walking distance and was a short drive to the downtown attractions and to Churchill Downs. We loved reading the journal that available for all the guests to write about their experiences.
