What a Great Experience!
The character, location, and amenities of this house made it the perfect spot for our gathering of high school friends visiting Bourbon Country. The four large bedrooms allowed us to each have our own room with bathrooms conveniently located. There are so many sitting and gathering places that impromptu conversations happened all over the house, all weekend. The house has a great vibe, with the limestone porches, great wood floors and trim, and funky bathrooms. But the updated kitchen made drink and snack preparation very easy. We also made use of the washer and dryer and ironing board in the basement. The house has a great location, with easy access to the airport, downtown, and Highway 264 to head to distillery visits. In the immediate neighborhood, it was so convenient to head to Kroger’s or Walgreens and very easy to walk to First Watch for breakfast. Maybe best of all, the owner was incredibly easy to work with an accommodating. The house is definitely on our list for a return visit.

Charming home
We loved our stay. The home was very comfortable and so had many lovely design touches! The location was very convenient to many great restaurants although the street noise is a little loud. I would stay here again

Excellent historic house in impeccable condition!
We first arrived to a binder that gave a history about the house which was really great and interesting. The house has a great koi pond in the back yard and there is a large driveway available behind the house and in front of the external garage (which is not a part of the rental). Note that access to the 3-car driveway is actually from the parallel street behind the house which was confusing at first. The only downside is that the side of the house sits about 15-20 feet away from a very busy 4-lane road with heavy traffic that pretty much runs hot 24/7. The loud trucks, motorcycles and cars with noisy mufflers took a bit to get used to at first, especially with the thin walls and windows which are expected in a historic house. We turned on the HVAC fan mode to on to help with some white noise. One bedroom upstairs faces the busy street. Also, it appears that a locked master bedroom is not a part of the rental, so the two bathrooms downstairs share a jack-and-jill bathroom, and the two bedrooms upstairs share another full bathroom at the top of the stairs. We were expecting to have at least one bedroom with an attached bathroom which was more important when traveling with co-workers versus family members. The location being close to everything was fantastic which was helpful in walking to a few restaurants and being near a ton of stores. The main living room was a huge hit with tons of space for a big group, and nicely decorated including a giant TV with DirectTV. The big kitchen table was fantastic as well for our business chats. The wifi worked great. And, the laundry room downstairs was great to not have to pack as many clothes.

Great location!
This house worked perfectly for our group of four while we were in town to visit the Expo center. The house was clean and in a convenient location to get downtown quickly. Would definitely stay again.

Our stay was top notch. The owner, Karla and her brother, John were very accomodating. We had some vehicle troubles and John not only guided us on where to get parts but drove the guys to the parts store, (a couple of them actually) and helped replace the radiator so we were good to continue our trip and get back home safely to Wisconsin. The house has a lot of charachter and is located in a charming neighborhood, even though it is on a busy street. We had a great time with friends! Thanks Karla and John!

Lovely home
This is a lovely and spacious home. It is right next to a busy street so there is quite a bit of traffic noise. There were no towels laid out so we had to look around for them and the bathroom rugs were really dirty. The beds are very soft and lumpy. Check in and out was a breeze and we had no major issues. Just expected it to be a little cleaner and better beds for the price.

Cute house in good location
The house is full of charm and character. Nicely redone kitchen. Good location. The road it’s off of is a bit loud but not too bad. Quick and easy communication with the property manager. Would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable stay
Property was as described, puplr bathroom and all. Beds were comfortable, had a nice home feeling. We didn't cook on this stay, but kitchen is fully stocked with dishes and cookware. Plenty of shower towels for a long stay. Easy off street parking. Also a great host. We have a Tesla, and the super charging station is less than a mile down the road.

Great little cottage in Louisville
We stayed in this delightful home the first week of June to attend the Ohio Valley Conference Swim Meet at Lakeside Swim Club. It was a perfect fit for our family of five. We were just a short walk to the facility and the house was charming and extremely clean. I especially loved the vintage purple bathroom. All instructions were very clear and we truly enjoyed our stay. Comfortable beds, great kitchen, and enjoyable space to rest after a long day at the swim meet.

Before we travel we look to see if any homes are available to rent and found this one. Even with our large group it still felt spacious, and it had everything we needed. It is also conveniently located to shops and restaurants. We would definitely rent this house again!
