Relaxing Adult Property

We loved staying at this home with the perfect bedrooms, giant backyard, and very homey feel was just the ticket for a place to relax after a long day of bourbon tours and Derby races. Perfect Stay!

Great place to relax

This house was perfect for our group. After a day of exploring the bourbon trail and other Kentucky sites it was fun to hit the game room. Steve was very responsive with our only question which was swiftly answered.

Perfect, cozy home!

This home was everything we needed and more for our trip to Louisville. We stayed here for a volleyball tournament for my daughter. It was an easy, 25 minute drive from the expo convention center & there was plenty of room & activity’s for my other children to do when we weren’t at the convention center. We were able to accommodate her team & their parents for a team dinner & there was space for everyone to comfortably socialize! There is also a HUGE backyard for the kids to run around & stay safe. The house was comfortable & there was room for all of us. 11/10 would reccomend.

A great place to relax, but, not far from anywhere you want to go.

The home itself is awesome, with everything you need or want. The amenities in the lower level are wonderful. The deck is so relaxing and neighbors are far enough away so it's overall a stay again when we come back.

Awesome Property

Came into Louisville for a quick family vacation before the 4th of July. This property was fantastic and the amenities offered (game room, theater, backyard, etc...) were fantastic and made the experience feel like the family was home. Property is only 20 minutes outside of Louisville so close enough to whatever you want to do, but outside the busy downtown. Great neighborhood - safe and quiet. Overall would recommend this location highly and wouldn't hesitate to visit again if coming back to Louisville.

Great communication

We happened to arrive after a very large wind storm that knocked out power. Thankfully the garage doors worked to let us in, and the owner was quick to bring us flashlights and candles. Power was back on next morning. How was great and as expected. Will stay here again!

Fantastic Family vacation

This house was perfect for our family vacation. There was plenty of space, 3 comfortable bedrooms, with closet space! 3 Full big bathrooms, and lots of places to relax. The open floor plan allowed us to all sit together for meals and the outdoor space was great with wood provided for a bon fire. Nothing can compare to that basement, which is an entertainment haven! We had a great time watching the game as well as movies in the theater room. Having access to the 3 car garage was a huge bonus. I highly recommend this house, it's in a great location with lots of nearby stores and restaurants. What stands out most to me is the amenities offered, the kitchen was fully stocked with cookware, dishes, nice appliances, other supplies as well. Thank you for a great stay we'd love to come back.

Family

This rental property was the perfect for my family to visit for a week. It was rainy most of our stay however this house has enough entertainment inside that we still had a wonderful time, playing darts and pool in the basement with a variety of board games to entertain all age groups. The back porch was perfect for morning coffee and evening conversations. We even had a nice fire in the backyard a couple of nights. This was the perfect home for my family vacation.
