Enjoy our spacious and cozy living area, complete with exceptional natural lighting and plenty of gathering space. Our fashionable and functional kitchen offers the perfect opportunity to create your next culinary masterpiece and includes basic kitchen essentials. Start your morning with our complimentary coffee bar, whether you prefer Keurig, Nespresso, a french press, or a cup of tea, our coffee bar has what you need to start your morning off right before heading out to see the city. Unwind after your long day of sightseeing in one of our two vibrant bedrooms. Our primary bedroom offers a King size bed and a flatscreen TV.

Please be advised that our home is a traditional shotgun style, with rooms arranged one behind the other with no hallway connecting them and a door at each end of the house. There are no doors separating the living/bedroom spaces other than the living room.
There is no straightforward answer to where the shotgun name came from but according to folklore, the name is due to the linear design. Theoretically, a bullet shot through the front door could exit the back door without hitting anything.

Please be aware, we have a Ring Doorbell camera on our front door facing the entry.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Meh, not as good as it looked

The yard was unuseable, looked like it hadn’t been mowed in weeks, no hot tub but that was in the listing, the bed upstairs was the worst bed I’ve ever slept in, no coffee creamer, the directions about the deadbolts was inadequate and confusing. For sale sign out front, take that for whatever it’s worth. Wouldn’t stay here again and I’m baffled at all the great reviews. Way overpriced for what it was.

Long weekend trip

The property was as described inside. Really cute theme and very clean. The outside is a little daunting due to the neighborhood and overall upkeep at the front. Once you’re inside it’s great! We parked out front and had a few times that our parking was taken but there’s an optional parking in the back. It was very close to the expo center and everywhere else we needed to go so that was a plus. Overall I would definitely stay again, the inside was worth it.

Lovely Home in Louisville

The home was exactly what we needed for our stay. The rooms, fenced in yard, option to park behind the home, location to downtown activities were wonderful. It was also nice to bring our two dogs (one of which is quite large) with us as most listing will only take dogs <50lbs. We had a great time staying there. The property manager was easy to get a hold of and answered all of my questions rapidly (less than 30min, even before my stay). If we are ever back in Louisville, we would request this home again in a heart beat.

A gem of a house sitting in a not so nice place

The inside of the house was immaculate. Amenities were thorough and thoughtful. Decorated beautifully. Unable to safely walk around the neighborhood on our own or with our dogs. Backyard needs to be cleaned up and it would be nice to be set up to spend time out there.

Amazing house - 5 stars

The house is super cute with stunning decoration. We only used the downstairs due to our dog but my husband walked upstairs and said the bedroom was just like the photo. Although we were only there for 12 hours passing through, we would have gladly stayed for a fun weekend. The backyard needs some upkeep but the house itself was perfection. There was an issue with check-in and our code didn’t go through, so I did have to keep reaching out to be sure we had one since we were arriving after typical business hours.

Liked Louisville Lemon Drop

This is a great house in a neighborhood that looks like it is rapidly being gentrified. The location is 7 minutes from just about everything that makes a stay fun. The house was very clean and very well-furnished, with lots of character. The master bedroom is on the 2nd floor and the bathroom on the first, which might not work for some travelers, but it is the nature of old houses to be a little quirky, which is what makes them interesting. The management was very easy to work with, as well. I would certainly recommend.

Beautiful Smoketown Home

This is a beautifully restored home in a historic neighborhood! Beds were comfortable, kitchen well-stocked, all the comforts of home were here! We enjoyed the coffee bar! Even though it is a traditional shotgun style home, we did not lack for privacy, but we were a family group. Definitely would stay here again!!
