Adorable cottage

Cottage was adorable! Neighborhood was quiet. Arcade game was a big hit. We went to the Kentucky derby museum and that was a lot of fun.

Perfect for us

We visited on a volleyball tournament and the location was perfect. Beds were a little hard and hot water ran out fairly quick for having 5 people but other than that was great!

Pulling in after dark, first impressions of the neighborhood was deceiving but we learned,quickly that it was very quiet.

Next to Churchill Downs

Although we didn’t spend a lot of time at the cottage, we had all that was needed. The 3 bedrooms gave us plenty of room to spread out. My daughters loved the upstairs area and claimed it upon arrival. The area was extremely quiet. We were across the street from Churchill Downs and could’ve easily walked to over.

Short weekend getaway. This property is exactly what is described. It was very clean and welcoming. The arcade games were entertaining and brought back good childhood memories. I would definitely stay here again.
