We were in town for a long weekend, this house was perfect for coming back to at night and relaxing. It had everything we needed. The only pause we had was the 10:00 checkout. It was doable, but we seemed rushed to get packed up and out by then. This isn't a negative comment, just an observation. It was disclosed before we booked, so we were aware. Again, thank you for an enjoyable weekend.

Bourbon Belle Stay

Came to Louisville for a long weekend to visit with my son and his girlfriend and to watch the national football championship game. Can’t imagine our staying at a hotel again as long as homes like this are available. It’s so much more relaxing and has the benefit of a kitchen available.

Quick Getaway

Positives - As described, clean, good proximity to things to do, parking behind house, and effective for costNegatives - Immediate location is okay, but surrounding areas are pretty rough. That’s really the only complaint outside of noise from planes flying overhead. Some of the windows weren’t locked when we arrived. Not a big deal, so didn’t say anything to the host. Just thought it was weird.

Quiet getaway

The Bourbon Belle was the perfect location for a quick, quiet visit to Louisville. The home was cozy and comfortable, very convenient to downtown and distilleries and for hopping on/off the interstate. We’ve already recommended to friends that have Louisville and tastings in their travel plans. Thanks to Karen and Ken for sharing their stylishly updated shotgun house!
