The Space: If these walls could talk...
"I was built in 1860. My walls have stood long before you were born and hopefully I'll be here long after you pass. I was built with American ingenuity during the growth of this country in its early stages - especially in Louisville. I've stood through many wars, numerous inventions and ways of travel that have changed society, a devastating flood in 1937, countless eras of history, and so much more.
I've been a feed mill, a saloon, a grocery store, a restaurant, and an antique store. As you walk my halls and rooms you will see homage paid to the various eras and days gone by. Some of these are important to the growth and development of my city even still to this day. My new owners didn't try to hide all of my wear and tear over time. They've saved everything that was original, and preserved, everything that was original for you to enjoy and admire the hard work of those who invented, constructed and built the foundations, civilizations and comforts we now have today, and take for granted as we've never known life without them - and can't imagine a life as the world was when I was built"
This space has undergone a full, no expenses spared, renovation with an eye for detail aimed toward keeping all of the historic features in tact. You will not find another space quite like this; Modern convenience and history harmoniously married in a stay that is truly an experience!

Lots of character with this property. We had a great time and liked the space for everyone that stayed. Convenient location to downtown and bourbon trail that we did over weekend.
We absolutely loved this building! It was an honor to stay in such a historic place, and we truly appreciated the beautiful design … especially the exposed brick that preserves its authentic charm.The host’s communication was excellent, and they were very accommodating even though we booked last minute. If we’re ever back in the Louisville area, we’ll definitely stay here again.The neighborhood was fantastic too (great coffee shops and the market with food vendors/arcade was super fun). The folks at the bike shop down the street were some of the nicest people we met!
Comfortable bedrooms and located very near so many cafes and restaurants with varied cuisine. This house made for a pretty good base of operations for our two days of bourbon tours.
Lovely house with lots of character, perfect location for the Bourbon Trail. It was really nice that everyone had a separate bedroom and bathroom (we had 4 guys).
This property was perfectly located for my family to visit family in Louisville. Everything was relative close and we loved getting back to the property with clean, relaxing, and well laid out environment.
Everything was as described by the owner. The hot tub wasnt warm when we started our trip but I reached out to him and he responded very quickly and resolved the issue so that we could enjoy it the rest of the trip.
Great little hidden gem. We were super comfortable here and loved the historic feel of the building.

This property was a very cool place for a large group. Loved that there were 3 floors with bedrooms and full baths on each floor. Two large master suites with kings size beds on opposite ends of the 2nd floor and an entire 3rd floor suite were great for the kids. The large open kitchen and living room were great for gathering with our large group. The only suggestion for improvement is to have a better stocked kitchen. Our plan had been to prepare a large family dinner during our stay but ultimately decided against it - quality and quantity of knives, pots, pans, cooking sheets could be improved and there were no mixing bowls, only one cutting board and chefs knife could be replaced. Overall the accommodations were good, the layout was awesome, the entertainment options were great, we enjoyed Atrium brewing nearby. Highly recommend for a large group.
This space is super cool! All 8 of us walked in & had the same wow reaction. We loved that there were several “gathering” spaces in the house, where we could all hangout comfortably & especially loved that there were 4.5 bathrooms for all of us to get ready efficiently & comfortably. The neighborhood was cool b/c there were some cool walkable places to eat & drink. We were also a quick Lyft ride to yummy eats.We’d stay here again in a heartbeat!
My husband and I stayed for 3 days I this big beautiful house and we were in love with it! We will definitely be back! The stunning brick and the whimsical decoration and decor were perfectly done!
This property provided everything our group of 4 couples look for in a VRBO. Lots of space, plenty of bathrooms so multiple ladies can get ready at the same time, the game room was enjoyable. The best part was the huge kitchen island that can seat your entire group!
Came in with 5 friends - really just needed a crash pad - this house is outstanding! Very unassuming charm - plenty of room - easy access to everything. Owner was great to work with and very accomadating.
My family of 4 (2 adults & 2 kids) stayed with my sister’s family (2 adults & 2 kids) here. It was perfect for a large group. There was a whole third floor that was great for the kids to use and adults to have some separation. I will say that the stairs are super steep, so I would be aware for little kids or people with mobility issues, but it was a great stay. There was a cool food hall just a few blocks down that ended up being nice to go to.
5 stars all around for this property. Beautifully renovated and attention to every detail. So much space for all of us to spread out. Couldn’t have asked for anything better. We will be back next year for another bourbon trail visit!
Friends and family converged in Louisville for a football game. This place was perfect for our group of 10. Wonderfully remodeled space and perfect location for our needs. Would recommend to others and would stay again. Cheers
