A great central location to do the Bourbon Trail and go sight seeing..Wonderful front porch to sit on and enjoy a cocktail.The host was easy to reach . but we didn't need to . Absolutely loved it and yes we will rent it again !!!

Wonderful historic home!

My family and I came in to Shelbyville for a wedding and the house and its location was perfect for our needs. The front porch is just charming. Kitchen is wonderful. I would stay here again! The reason I gave four stars is the beds are not quite as listed. The master (which is amazing!) has a queen, not a king. The downstairs bedroom that is listed as a queen is a trundle that converts to two twins (maybe that is the king?). And the living room bed listed as a queen is a blowup mattress, not a sofa bed as one would think. My only complaints of cleanliness was dust and cobwebs in the corners of the rooms and lots of crumbs under the sofa cushions (which we only noticed because we assumed there was a sofa bed). This also would not be a good house for elderly guests. Lots of stairs. But overall, I would recommend and stay again if I make it back to Shelbyville.

Kitchen was terrific complete with all dishes, appliances, condiments, etc. Nice washer and dryer in there as well. The house was clean and had full sets of sheets and towels. The "third" bedroom is a very small room on the first floor with a day bed that does convert to a "king" but it is two twin mattresses so you get the gap between. Water pressure for the showers is adequate but could be improved. The house is right on Main Street, which is a one-way two lane road with high traffic volume, so often a bit noisy. Nice living room with a TV and lots of games, dining room with room for 8 or more, and two nice sized bedrooms with two baths upstairs. Overall, for what the cost was the experience was very good and I would recommend it.

We stayed for just one night, as we were literally passing through traveling home. This home had plenty of parking and was easy to find and get into the property. There are many positives: roomy for a group, large bedrooms, hot water for showers, and a wonderful booklet filled with area highlights, shopping, and restaurants. Our 17 yr old thought he died and went to heaven with the Xbox :) My husband was concerned about the master shower floor which seemed very slippery. That could be remedied with a mat. Overall, very happy with our stay.

Poor water pressure in the shower. Bedsheets were 100% polyester and very uncomfortably hot since AC was insufficient in cooling the upstairs. Front bedroom bed mattress was uncomfortable and main bedroom mattress was very high and difficult to get in and out of without doing high jumps to get in. Main floor bathroom sink was dangerous since it was not wall mounted and nearly fell off its narrow pedestal base. Another upstairs sink was not wall mounted. Ants were present in one of the upstairs bathroom.

This house is in a nice location and had charm and nice upgrades in the kitchen. However, the description of beds for each bedroom was incorrect. There are only two bedrooms that have queen beds. The third bedroom is the size of a closet and has a single bed - the description states there is a king bed… that was not found. We, unfortunately traveled with 3 couples who are all tall and were led to believe there were three bedrooms as listed in the description.The house had a window in the upstairs bedroom that had open air due to the window being old and receding from the frame which made that bedroom very warm. They tried to rectify by adding an air conditioning unit but that caused the room to have extra moisture and a very uncomfortable sleeping experience. The house smelled of stale smoke and the beds were very uncomfortable. I would not choose this rental again.

Cozzy and roomy

Everything you could need is here. Very clean. I would recommend if you are vertically challenged like myself you bring a step stool if you are planning to get in the master bed. I stayed here because it was pet friendly and I was being my dog to Louisville for a surgery. It was perfect for what we needed.
