Comfortable just like home!!

All aspects were very good, clean, fresh and comfy. The hosts were very responsive to our requests, all areas looked new. We loved the cozy couch and decor. We didn't get to play pool but it was great to have that option. Area was quiet and safe, and not too far from where we needed to go. Great restaurants close by. Great stay for a large family or several couples. Big bedrooms and common area to hang out.

The property was beautifully designed and well-equipped, providing everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We truly appreciate the thoughtful layout and overall ambience of the home. However there were a few concerns that should be noted. We encountered some insects and spiders inside of home. And the hot tub not adequately cleaned, which unfortunately prevented us from using it. While these issues did not overshadow the overall experience they are worth addressing to ensure an even better stay for future guest. With a bit more attention to cleanliness and maintenance, this home had the potential to be exceptional.

Excellent stay all the way around! We had our family of four (including 2 kids) plus the grandparents. Four roomy bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (1 with full tub) have everyone the space they needed and kept the peace! The kitchen and living room (with the comfiest furniture) were spacious and open. We loved the decor - especially the horse and cow pictures, very tasteful. The hot tub was a plus. The pool table was the biggest hit, by far. The room is actually big enough to play comfortably.There is a nice laundry room if needed. The hosts were very responsive and they answered all questions quickly. Check in was super easy and we found the location central to all the things on our wish list.We visited the Louisville Slugger Museum (Malibu Jack's is a great indoor break for kids also), the ARK Encounter and a trail ride (Whispering Woods in Georgetown). We shopped at the Bluegrass Outlets (shopping and food options with lots of shady places to sit when the guys were tired of it)!
Beautiful, spacious home, clean and great location! 5 stars!

Hosts were great! Communication was transparent and the responses were quick. The house does the job for what you need it to do, but isn’t anything spectacular. Fair for the price. Some of the windows were missing screens and the ones that could open had piles of bugs in them. I wish we had cleaning supplies (dish sponges, dish detergent, kitchen trash bags, etc) to more easily keep up with the day to day - we had to get our own. The hot tub was nice and clean. Grill had to be cleaned heavily before using. The refrigerator water filter needs replaced. Little things we dealt with that didn’t impact the trip all that much. Would recommend for anyone doing the bourbon trail.
