I could not recommend staying here more. We had a group of 8 and we all had more than enough room. The house is great, the pool house is great, everything was clean and the hosts walked us through the house to explain everything given the size which was really helpful. The hosts were awesome. Also the pool is really really nice if you come when it is open. The neighborhood is really nice and location convenient.

5 Stars – Beautiful, Historic, and Perfectly Located!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful historic home. It was spacious and very accommodating for our group, with thoughtful touches that made everyone feel comfortable. The location was absolutely fantastic—just minutes from everything, yet tucked away enough to feel private and peaceful. The hosts were incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a unique, convenient, and welcoming place to stay!

Gorgeous Home with Great Character

The home was absolutely beautiful, the layout of the bedrooms really allowed our volleyball team families to have personal space but still be together.

This is a beautiful property, very comfortable for large family gatherings. We spent much of our time playing games and cooking dinners together in the well equipped kitchen. Bedrooms and bathrooms were well arranged with plenty of private space for our adult kids and their families. Dining room table easily seated 12 together, and the pool area was a great casual outside gathering space. Nearby Cherokee Park is an easy walk or bike ride.

Great house and hosts

I hosted a group of employees in town for a large trade show and we could not have been happier with our choice to stay at Stonecote. Everyone was comfortable and had space for privacy, but it was a treat to be able to socialize at the end of every day somewhere besides a crowded restaurant or hotel lobby. Great experience for all and our hosts could not have been more gracious. We will be back next year!

About the host

Hosted by James Keith Morley

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: an 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'.
