The 50' x 25' saltwater pool, is surrounded by mature perennial gardens and has a baby pool (pool is open seasonally, early-May to mid-September, depending on weather). Pool is not headed but should be pleasant during the summer.

High quality Frette bed linens and towels adorn each bedroom and bathroom. House is stocked with shower products (soap, shampoo, conditioner) bottled water and a Keurig and regular/drip coffee maker (coffee pods, tea, creamer and sugar), basic condiments and spices, dishes, utensils, pots/pans, etc.

Situated on one of the most elite streets in the city, in prestigious Seneca/Cherokee Gardens neighborhood just blocks from restaurants, shops and bars, and just steps from famed Cherokee Park. Easy freeway access, close to downtown and airport and just a short 20 minute drive from Valhalla Golf Course or 15 minutes from Churchill Downs. If you're not familiar with Louisville, this is the 'happening' part of town -- you'll be just blocks away from some of the best restaurants in the city.

We ask that all groups observe "quiet hours" starting at 10pm every night to avoid disturbing neighbors.

Note about weddings and special events/parties: While we are flattered that you think Stonecote would make a great venue for your wedding, rehearsal dinner, wedding brunch, bridal shower or special event, the property is not set up to accommodate these parties due to neighborhood and car restrictions. Unfortunately, we are no longer able to rent to bridal parties, bachelor or bachelorette parties.

Family Trip to See Louisville City FC
Had a wonderful stay at the beautiful property located 9 minutes away from the Lynn Family Stadium. Pool house was beautiful and we will be returning with our extended family to make use of this spacious house. Fully equipped with everything needed that makes a house a home.

Absolutely Perfect!
Our group of 6 couples enjoyed 4 fabulous nights at Stonecote. The house is beautiful, spacious, and extremely well-stocked with everything guests might need. There was ample room to gather at the dining table, in various places in the house, and on the front and back porches overlooking the lovely grounds. We had lots of fun preparing meals in the enormous kitchen and butler's pantry. We took full advantage of the 2 refrigerators, beverage refrigerator, and ice machine. The 3 dishwashers made clean up easy! The location was perfect for us! The house is a short walk to the park with lots of green space while still being only 20 minutes or less drive from everything else in and around the city. Our hosts were helpful and responsive during the reservation process and welcoming, gracious, and attentive during our stay. We felt incredibly well cared for and knew that - if we needed it - help was just a phone call away. There are many reasons why this property has so many 5-star reviews! It was truly one of the very best VRBO experiences I have ever had. Thank you, Lisa and Keith!

A Southern Gem
The property was amazing with all the southern charm and beautiful grounds. Lots of amenities provided. Keith was wonderful. Any problem was responded to immediately. The pool was the highlight with the kids and adults alike. The boys played baseball in the spacious front yard while we sat on the front porch. It is such a beautiful property and would highly recommend it. We would love to come back.

Better than the pictures show!
We all said it was better than the pictures!! Spacious home. Clean, well-equipped and the hosts were very responsive. We had a couple little issues and Keith came right over to address. Beds were all very comfortable, kitchen was wonderful, and the salt-water pool with the fans to sit under was perfect. Multiple large game and sitting areas. We will definitely consider renting this again.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Causarano

Host profile image
Keith was born and raised in Louisville. He is a real estate professional and general contractor who loves making old homes new again. Lisa is a California native but is now proud to call Kentucky home and loves to show out-of-town guests how amazing Louisville is.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Stonecote because it offers the best of everything! It is a rare find: a 5-acre equestrian estate in the heart of Louisville! The pool (open seasonally - mid-May to mid-September) with shooting fountains is a great place for kids to play and the adults to relax on spring and summer evenings. Stonecote feels like a secluded, private park and is a perfect setting for many different occasions. The historic, hometown feel of Louisville makes it a great place to visit any time of the year.

What makes this property unique

Stonecote has great flow for entertaining and a large, chef's kitchen. There are plenty of rooms to gather, as well as ample areas to 'get away'.
