Why they chose this property
This property is special because of its location and guest options. We thought it was so unique even before it was updated, with its great vantage point on the hill and the seasonal cottage, which turned out so cute! The property sits on a hill with a private wooded backyard that allows quick access to all the city has to offer. You can see downtown Louisville from the 2nd floor deck while also having a private BBQ with friends in the nice outdoor living area, with its decks and tree-shaded yard. Plus the seasonal cottage provides a private space for another group to have as their own just steps from the back door.
What makes this property unique
Two separate living quarters mere steps apart give guests many options for sleeping arrangements: the 3-bedroom house used alone can sleep 11, with use of the airbed and futon/sofa bed, plus the seasonal cottage with kitchenette can sleep 6, giving guests several options for sleeping arrangements.
