This was a perfect place to stay! We were in between Louisville and Fort Knox so for us, the location was great. It was very clean, quiet, and so much better than a hotel! The bed was so comfortable. I’d highly recommend staying there and would again. We weren’t lacking anything. The backyard was very spacious and nice but the weather was too hot while we were there to go out and sit.

My family and I enjoyed our stay. We were in town for a volleyball tournament, and being located between Louisville and the bourbon trail was nice. The place was clean had everything we needed. The neighborhood is quiet and family friendly. We would stay here again.

Fredie was an amazing host!!! Can’t say that enough! Very helpful with ideas on things to do and Responds very quickly. We’ve stayed at a lot of VRBO’s and Fredie was one of the best hosts we’ve had! House is as listed. We were very comfortable and our pup loved the fenced in yard. If you can get this house, don’t pass it up!

We drove from Oklahoma and it was such a relief to walk into a home and feel comfortable. The neighborhood was cute and quiet. My son loved the game room and the karaoke machine. We had a great time in KY and would definitely stay there on our next trip.

Pleasant Stay

Our family of 3 (me, my husband and our teenage daughter) traveled to the Louisville area for spring break. This was our first spring break trip with our 2.5 year old lab. The fenced in backyard was so convenient! The house was just as described and the neighborhood was very quiet. There were dogs on both sides of us (both well-behaved and got along with our dog without any excessive barking) and the neighbors we spoke to were extremely friendly. Easy to get into Louisville (caught a show at the Louisville Palace and did a college tour at U of L) and not far from Elizabethtown. Close to the James Beam Distillery and many wineries. Felt very safe the entire time we were there. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area. Perfect for a family of 3 or 4 (as only one shower). The host was extremely responsive to any questions we had. Only thing that took some getting used to being from MN was how narrow the back roads were, usually with no shoulder. Just something to be aware of if you are coming from a northern state. Overall a cozy, well maintained house in an area close to everything!

We came in for the bourbon and beyond festival along with several bourbon tours. He was a great location for hitting the Bardstown area and the Louisville area. Located just in between. The place was nicely decorated out in Bourbon theme. Great place to stay and adventure out during the day.
