We had a great stay! The house was very clean and super comfortable, plenty of space for our 3 generations to spread out. The lower level was perfect for the kids, they really loved the having their own space with the toys and video games and I appreciated them having a separate bedroom and bath in the same area. Best thing about the house, though, was the location. Just an easy, one-block walk to Bardstown road for access to restaurants, shops, bakeries and more. Very centrally located to parks, downtown, and several other must-see attractions. Never had a problem with parking, traffic, or noise. Just a really pleasant trip, would definitely recommend or stay here again if I come back to Louisville!

Enough bedrooms for the family. 1 full bath worked for our plans. Would have been hard if we had to be somewhere at a certain time. There are no bedroom curtains so its light all night, blinds only. Beds comfortable.

These people should teach a class on hosting a home!

This is a charming vintage home in a great neighborhood chock full of great restaurants and cute shops! Short of having a full refrigerator, these hosts have covered everything we needed. Games, tvs, streaming, an awesome hot tub, spices and everything you might need, and didnt expect to find.The house is very quiet. The beds and linens are all very comfortable and the climate control is on point. The lowest level of the house is very accessible and kind of a home.within a home. It hosts a great family room with a massive tv, a stand up arcade game with all your favs.It also has a kitchenette, an office, accessible bathroom and large bedroom with two beds. It even has a nook for little kids complete with their own kids kitchen!The owners have created a wonderful curation of art, comfy furniture, vintage dishes, and thoughtful books.This is possibly the easiest stay weve ever had. The owners have covered everything.And....the HOT TUB rocks! Do yourself a favor and bring your crew here.

Perfect place. Would stay again!

Absolutely would stay here again as it was one of the best VRBO experiences we’ve had. Rental is well stocked with paper products, towels, and even snacks. Very thoughtful management who is quick to respond and accommodate requests. We loved the multiple living areas (downstairs and on the main level). Comfortable beds as well. Right in the heart of the Highlands and we walked to a few places to eat. Definitely recommend this rental. .

Everything you’ll need

The house is in a great location one block off Bardstown Road. The neighborhood is tree lined with beautiful older homes. The house has everything you’ll need - plenty of towels, well stocked kitchen, baby gates for the stairs, etc. We were all impressed with how well appointed the house was. Sat out back and enjoyed the patio. All around great experience.

Charming home and neighborhood

Super charming, well stocked home in a beautiful, walkable neighborhood. The hosts were very responsive and had even stocked coffee and snacks, which was so appreciated. Beds were comfortable - and the AC worked great on all levels, which was amazing since we visited in a heat wave. Kids loved hanging out and playing the arcade games in the basement, and my mom loved that there was a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen on that floor so she could avoid stairs. We walked to Cherokee Park and great restaurants nearby, and loved sitting in the hot tub in the backyard in the evening watching fireflies. I hope we can stay here again on a future visit to Louisville…so much to do and see - and feel like we just scratched the surface in our week visit. Thankful we had such a great home base for all the adventures!

Great Family Getaway

We booked this place as a family getaway meeting point halfway between our locations. The house had lots of room for everyone to spread out and be comfortable. The adults were upstairs, and the kids were in the lower level. If they stayed up late, we weren't kept awake. The house was a short distance from groceries and shopping. Many places were within walking distance. We planned to visit several museums and the zoo. We made it to the zoo, but it was rainy the day we planned to visit the museums. We decided to stay in and play games. We would gladly book it again if we decide to go back to Louisville.

Perfect stay

Our stay in Louisville was made better for this property and it’s owners. The home was lovely and perfect for a trip to my hometown to see family for my birthday. We had an emergency with our child but the owner allowed us much grace to stay in the property longer than a typical check out time so that we could recover. Even though they didn’t have another renter, they didn’t have to be so gracious and we really appreciated and needed the hospitality. This house is more beautiful and unique than the photos can depict. Lots of space; every kitchen utensil you could imagine, plenty of space to entertain. Perfect for large families. The owners are a beautiful example of kindness and I hope to use their property again upon our next visit back home. Thanks again!
