Welcome to Barret House – Your Perfect Louisville Home Base!
Whether you’re here to tour bourbon distilleries, attend a conference, catch the thrill of Churchill Downs, or just explore the unique charm of Louisville, Barret House is the ideal place to land.
Tucked in the heart of the Historic Highlands—one of Louisville’s safest and most walkable neighborhoods—you’ll be just steps away from everything that makes this city special. Here’s what you’ll love: • A beautifully reimagined 3-bedroom, 2-bath home inside a classic Highlands duplex, offering space, comfort, and a touch of local flair • Two fully equipped kitchens (yes, two!) plus a hide-a-bed and futon in the bright, upstairs lounge—perfect for families or groups • Private parking pad in the back—a rare and welcome convenience in this area • Only two blocks to Restaurant Row on Bardstown Road—walk to top-rated restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, boutiques, and more • Quick access to downtown, the Bourbon Trail, museums, the riverfront, and beyond
A quick note: We thoughtfully combined two one-bedroom apartments into one inviting 3-bedroom space. One of the bedrooms is centrally located and a bit more open in design—it’s cozy, stylish, and thoughtfully set up with area rugs and throw pillows to create a welcoming retreat. And with two full bathrooms, you’ll have plenty of comfort and privacy.
Picture your group enjoying morning coffee on the front porch, strolling out for brunch, or gathering upstairs for a laid-back movie night in the open common area.
Barret House has Louisville charm, unbeatable location, and room to relax. We’d love to host your stay!
