The stay was great. Owner was great, responsive and so very thoughtful. Kcups, cream, milk and eggs waiting for us to use. Plus homemade cookies when we arrived. Place was incredibly clean. Decorated in festive fall motif. Cute town and great breakfast diner nearby.
The place was very nice and welcoming, with plenty of room. It's located close to many restuarant options, and has everything you need in and around it to enjoy your stay.
We had a wonderful weekend. It is a beautiful property at the end of the street in a quiet neighborhood. The host was great with communication and very friendly and helpful. My family had plenty of room. Very comfortable. Highly recommend!!
TOP-NOTCH experience!! This is our second time staying with Bea (pronounced bay-uh) and what can you say?!! She is the consummate hostess, her pantry is free to use (if you're a cook/chef/foodie you will be amazed at what is available for use), and the residence is immaculate. More than enough room for three couples; there is ample space upstairs and down. We LOVE Bea (and her cat Pickles) and look forward to seeing her in '26!
The property itself filled our needs completely. And the location is walking distance from numerous dining establishments and other shops. And the freshly baked cookies were a great touch!

Elizabeth decorated her home for Christmas beyond our expectations! She made sure we had everything we needed from coffee to eggs to baking powder. We can’t wait to come back on our next visit to JTown.

This home was just what we needed, it was busy for us during the day and a very nice peaceful place to come to in the evening. Bea was a very gracious hostess, wish we would have had more time to visit wih you. Very well stocked for guests

Thank you, All. It was nice to meet you while you were here. Thank you for booking my home and hope you return. You left the house in great shape. You're the best.
This was our home for Kentucky Derby weekend. It is a beautiful house in a picturesque neighborhood, just 20ish minutes from downtown Louisville. Our host was extremely accommodating and helped make our trip even better.
The host was so generous with us. She was involved for our wellness at her house.
The area is quiet, a lot of space inside, well equiped, a perfect place for rest.
My top place ever rented.

Thank you so much, Gabriel. I enjoyed having you all at my home and meeting all of you. I am enjoying Canada's wonderful maple syrup. Thank you all. I'd love to have you return someday soon.
Take care and God Bless.
Beautiful home, owner very friendly. She even joined us for an after dinner drink on the patio. She had the house very well stocked so only had to buy for the one night we decided to eat at home. Would definitely stay again!!
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Bea's house. It is exactly as described and pictured. Everything was clean and comfortable. We loved sitting out on the back deck. The house is a quick drive to Louisville. Bea is a wonderful host: warm and welcoming without being intrusive. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks, Bea!

Could Not Have Been Better
From the lovely Christmas lights in front...to the fresh-baked cookies in the kitchen...to the park-like backyard and patio...the home was a true haven. Elisabeth was a gracious and welcoming host, and we couldn't be more thankful for the experience we had at her home.

Thank you for the great review. I enjoyed having all stay and like to keep it festive throughout the year. You were all wonderful and it was nice visiting with you.
Thank you again for choosing my home for your stay. I hope you will return.
Sincerely
Elisabeth
Our host was very welcoming upon our arrival. The home was well-stocked with items we needed for our stay (laundry detergent, trash bags, toiletries, various foods and snacks, etc). The home is located in a quiet neighborhood, and very close to shopping and entertainment places. And it’s not far from The Kentucky Expo Center. I would definitely stay here again. 😀
We loved staying in this beautiful home. Our hostess, Bea, was awesome and so sweet. The house is fully stocked with anything you need. There are several good restaurants that deliver by Uber Eats or Door Dash. We will definitely try to secure this home again if we return to the area. Highly recommend!
We had family meet up from WI, MI and IA in Louisville for a vacation. I can’t say enough good things about staying at Bea’s place. We easily slept 7 adults and a toddler. Our daughter loved the play structure and the big yard. Bea even had a tiny chair for her to sit on out on the deck.
Just as the other reviewers have said the house is immaculate, Bea is friendly, helpful and accommodating, and her cookies are delicious! We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

About the host
Hosted by Elisabeth (Béa) Thompson
Welcome to Southern Hospitality with a European Flair.
I was born in Holland and grew up in Utah, got married and moved to Cody, WY and then moved for the last time to Jeffersontown, a beautiful, historic town.
I've lived in Jeffersontown/Louisville for over eight years and before that, have visited two to three times a year and couldn't resist moving here. I know you'll love it here, too.
Come and enjoy the comforts of home away from home while you are on vacation or a business trip.
Why they chose this property
I moved from Wyoming to Louisville and for a couple of years had lived in a rental house that had trees but also the glaring lights from the baseball field nearly every single night when I wanted to just sit outside and enjoy the stars. When I found this property for sale, I latched on to it for its beautiful, quiet woodsy setting full of trees, lawn and surrounded by birds during the day and stars and moon at night. We live in a quiet "No Through" street, at the end of the block where you hear nothing but the birds during the day, see lightening bugs in the woods, stars in the sky and an occasional airplane flying lazily by, tree frogs and crickets singing their mating calls at night. I used to live in the mountains where you could hear only the stream trickling by, birds singing and at night sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine while basking in the warmth of the evening with the stars and moon overhead. This property is perfect for sharing with you the beauty of all that I've described above for you.
What makes this property unique
This is a spacious four bedroom house with the full use of all the amenities you could ask for. Eat your breakfast or have a small gathering for dinner and refreshments on the deck. Use the large gas grill and or keep your food warm on the warming plate on the side. Cook a full course meal in the kitchen, do your laundry in the large front load machines. Laundry detergent and softener sheets are provided. Enjoy a relaxing evening out on the deck with a glass of wine and look at the stars while the lightening bugs dance around the trees in the woods. Take a walk downtown in our quiet little town in the historic Gaslight district and let us shuttle you to the events downtown Louisville or take in a movie at nearby theaters, bowling, golf and game areas.
If you travel on a regular basis and don't want the usual cold hotel room, need a place that's private and/or need to entertain business partners sometime during your stay, this is the place, or need to have extended stay and don't want to pay a higher fee, contact me in advance and schedule your stays, the price is reduced for extended stays.
