________________

Welcome to the HIGHLANDS, Louisville's most walkable historic neighborhood. The Highlands Hideaway is Centrally located to downtown & the expo center. Walk to over 75 restaurants, nightclubs & shops! This home is designer decorated and was created exclusively for VRBO. The Hideaway is 1/2 half block from Bardstown Road & Louisville's restaurant row! Rest easy here in a zen setting on a quiet neighborhood street.

You can feel the love the moment you enter the Highlands Hideaway!
The love that was put into the complete renovation and care of this 110 year old home.
This historic, older home is located in one of the safest neighborhoods in Louisville has recently been renovated down to the studs, everything is new! Including the plumbing and electric.
The original hard wood floors and crown molding have been saved and refurbished as well.
I love sitting in the living room and admiring the original stained glass windows which I often did when we were setting up this home. :)
Bought exclusively with a vacation rental in mind, we used collected art of my friend & the owner Shelly and my own to add a personal touch. And my friend Robbie, a gifted interior designer, added his expertise in the thoughtful furniture placement and selection.
This is one of my favorite vacation rentals that I manage, because of its close proximity to Louisville's restaurant row, and its central location to everything fun that the Ville has to offer!

The beautifully restored Hideaway contains 3 large bedrooms and 2 full baths.
THIS HOME CONTAINS 5 BEDS!
The master bedroom contains 1 King bed and an extra 43 inch Smart TV.
The first guest bedroom contains 2 Full sized beds, and the 3rd bedroom contains 1 Queen bed, and 1 twin bed.
Sleeps 5-9 comfortably in beds.

This home is a perfect choice for 5 business travelers or friends that all need their own sleeping arrangement.

The Kitchen contains a large island that seats 4 guests, and the dining area contains a table that seats up to 8 guests, there is also a separate card table in the living area that seats another 4 guests - great for game playing!
You will also find complimentary coffee, creamer, bottled water & snacks in your fully stocked kitchen!
This is also a wonderful location if you want to walk to dinner or shopping!
The Hideaway is located a half city block from Bardstown road (Louisville's restaurant row).
Walk to over 75 restaurants, shops and nightclubs.
However, the actual street Stevens Ave. is very quiet and quaint.

Also find 2 off street private parking spaces right behind your home, a luxury in this neighborhood!

If you have any questions or concerns please text me any time!
We look forward to the possibility of hosting you, we are truly grateful for all of our awesome guests!
Kind regards,

James

The property was well decorated. Everything we needed was available. I was a little disappointed in the master bed and sheets seemed to be worn and staring to ball up. The kitchen faucet needs some attention, very little water pressure. The wine glasses were all plastic and well-used. Other than that it was as described.

Fantastic stay in Louisville

Great communication with James. He promptly answered every text we threw at him, even restaurant recommendations. The place was clean, in a great location, easy parking, excellent TVs, great snacks waiting for us, and even a couple of beers in the fridge. It was our favorite VRBO for our family in Louisville. We would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Loved the location - close to so many restaurants, and parks to walk around. Great neighborhood. Beautiful houses to look at. Also loved the house itself and that they had so many kitchen supplies. Normally you stay at a place and they have terrible pans for cooking, but not here! James was also a wonderful host and any issues that arose, he took care of ASAP

Perfect Stay for Our Louisville Trip!

We (two moms traveling with two teens) came to Louisville for a national volleyball tournament at the Expo and couldn’t have picked a better place to stay! From the moment we booked, James was an incredible host—super communicative, helpful, and easy to work with.The house itself was spotless, beautifully decorated with a fun eclectic style, and had plenty of space for all of us to spread out comfortably. The beds were incredibly cozy, and honestly, this was the best-equipped home we’ve ever stayed in! James thought of everything—no need to run out for supplies upon arrival. The kitchen was fully stocked, there were ample cleaning supplies, plenty of towels, and even thoughtful extras like shampoo, soap, a hairdryer, and even a flat iron. The welcome snack basket and waters were such a nice surprise!The location was fantastic—situated in a safe, walkable neighborhood with tons of great restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and bars just minutes away. Getting to the airport and the Expo was a breeze, only about a 10-15 minute drive.We had an amazing stay and would absolutely book this home again next time we're in town. Highly recommend!

James and the property were both outstanding! It was really fun to stay in such a cool house! The Highlands area is busy in all the best ways! Off-street parking was so helpful and made our stay very easy. The shops, restaurants, spa, people, and energy were welcoming and friendly. I wouldn't recommend going anywhere else if you and your peeps need a quick, fun getaway!!

Charming home, Quiet neighborhood, Near great restaurants

My grown children and I were in town for a wedding. This home was in a great location near so many bars/restaurants. We were also able to walk to Cherokee Park which is a large wooded park with great walking paths. The home was great with space for 8 adults to sit comfortably or sit at the table. There was an issue where the power flickered off and on which made the alarm go off. The host was responsive and took care of it while we went out for lunch.
