I cant say enough good things about the property we got to stay at in Louisville. The home was absolutely one of the nicest and well decorated VRBO's we have ever stayed in. The rooms were spacious, clean and they thought of everything. The hosts couldnt have been more attentive and accomodating. We highly recommend this location!
The Victorian Bliss was a charming house with great modern updates. The speakeasy and pool table were my families favorite way to end the night. Kapil is a great attentive hosts who went to the next level to ensure we had a great trip.
Lovely home and very well maintained and stocked. We were with family of different ages and there was something for everyone! Kitchen is lovely and had everything we needed. The host communicated extremely well.
The amenities were amazing. The house was extremely beautiful, unique, and very clean. The hosts were very responsive and kind. We had a great stay and would love to stay there again. The hot tub, fire pit, and game room were first class as well as the rest of the house.

Response from VrboOwner on 13 October 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words, Virginia. We equally enjoyed hosting you and would love to welcome you anytime in the future! Safe travels back home.
We booked the house so we could attend The Kentucky Derby. The house was perfect for a home base to easily drive downtown or Churchill. We were able to walk from Churchill after derby and relax in the hot tub. The check in process was extremely easy, and the host was very attentive! My daughter particularly enjoyed the basement area with a speakeasy and game room. Great place!
