We enjoyed our stay in Louisville! Loved the aesthetic of the property. Great location for the wedding we attended at the Kentucky Derby Museum. Felt safe and secure. Quiet neighborhood - couldn't hear car traffic, but there was about a half hour of UPS planes taking off early on Saturday morning that was a tad loud to this light sleeper, but didn't last long :)

Great house within walking distance of L&N. This house is super cute, clean, and has ample parking. Host was accommodating and friendly and the place was in great shape. The pictures don't really do justice to how much space there really is. We would definitely stay again. The outside area is fantastic and we didn't get to use much due to the weather. It would be wonderful to stay here when it's warm.

The place was perfect for our family of 5. Incredibly convenient to Churchill Downs and the Expo Center. It’s basically 2 properties combined into one…upstairs and downstairs units each have 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and a kitchen. Very clean and well decorated. We will definitely stay here again if we ever come back. Thanks!

Perfect for the Derby

The perfect location for the Derby! Our host was amazing - lots of special touches and gifts - everything we could have wanted. It is on the backside of the track so definitely best for people who are attending events at Churchill Downs or love racing, but it's such a retreat inside - decorated beautifully, outfitted with everything we needed. We loved it.

Charismatic and perfect location

This place was perfectly located for our volleyball tournament at the expo center. We could see Churchill downs from our window and we enjoyed running around it! It was clean, spacious, and allowed space for each of mother/daughter to have its own bedroom and bathroom. We would highly recommend this place and will be returning next volleyball tournament!

Great House for Couples Getaway

Great house for our 4 couples to stay at for touring The Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Close enough to downtown, walking distance to Churchill Downs and Kentucky Derby Museum. Very clean!! Buff was very responsive with our questions before our trip, and she was very responsive while there. Had a little hiccup with the heater which she saw to very quickly and even left us a nice bottle of bourbon for our inconvenience. Gave only a 4 star for location and neighborhood due to looks of nearby houses and yards. Overall, a great experience and I would recommend this house for couples' getaway!!

Beautifully Renovated Historic Home

We loved all the room! We used both the upper and lower units and it was great. The bedrooms are large with comfy beds and beautiful decorating. 4 bathrooms are not an easy find for vacation rentals so this was a PLUS. I can't say enough about this great house, we loved that they remodeled, but kept the brick walls in tack, keeping the historic vibe. The parking in back was a great feature. I think the house is actually better than the pictures portray. You won't be disappointed in renting this house. We will definitely rent again if we come to Louisville!!
