Living areas include a spacious living room with a large screen TV if you choose to watch the Derby inside, a combination beautiful dining room (which seats 6-8) and kitchen (with 3 bar stools for extra seating) with another TV, and a screened-in porch for more entertaining space. There are 4 bedrooms of which the master has a king size bed, 2 have queen-size beds and 1 full-size bed, all furnished with new sheets and pillows. 3 full baths with walk-in showers and an extra newly-remodeled half-bath complete the interior living areas. The master bath remodeling project was completed with gorgeous floors, marble countertop and a roomy glass shower. For the final touch, a spacious front porch offers 4 rocking chairs for enjoying the long weekend.

Very hospitable

Owners were so kind and hospitable and made our stay very comfortable. They were concerned about every detail and very responsive. The location was great- a quiet neighborhood, great for morning exercise and walks to the coffee shop or our new favorite taco restaurant.
