Made Our Tournament Weekend Easy & Enjoyable!

We enjoyed our weekend stay at the Locomotive house! The location was great and simplified our weekend and tournament travel. This house is close to many restaurants, coffee shops, pretty much anything g you’d need. Our host was very prompt and easy to work with on any requests, like our ask to add an additional night when we needed to come a day earlier than originally planned.

Weekend in Louisville

The house was super clean and comforting. We were close to U of L and the Expo center. The train did not bother us at all. It goes so slow you barely know it is there. We enjoyed watching it from the upstairs windows.

Great stay

We had a great stay. The inside is really clean and updated. The high ceilings were so pretty. It was very convenient to have a Kroger store right behind the property as well. The outdoor space needs some updating and does not reflect how nice the inside is. The neighborhood seems just ok.

First time renting a house, have to say it was really great. Totally different felling heading to a house where you can relax after a long day on your feet, verses a hotel room. The place was clean and the beds comfortable.

Historic Louisville

Lovely property - just as pictured. Host was great at communicating. The house is right up against a train track (thus the name 'locomotive house') but it was not a disturbance at all. The neighborhood looks a little run down but was completely quiet and safe. I would definitely stay here again.

Great location, great weekend

The locomotive house was fantastic, exactly as listed. Location was great for our weekend and plans. The property was clean and stocked with necessities to get you started. Communication with property owner was well timed, very clear, and included recommendations for restaurants for your stay. I’d love to visit during warmer weather, the backyard area looked like a great place to spend an evening. Thrilled with our stay and!
