Our host was great Good communication before the trip to describe the property and the sites in the area. The property was perfect fit for our family of 8 visiting.
The house was perfect for my 40th birthday Bourbon train trip with my friends. Everything was as described and James was very helpful with communicating check-in/out process and recommendations for places to go in Louisville. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting.

Thank you so much for sharing! We’re thrilled the house was perfect for your 40th birthday Bourbon Trail trip and that everything met your expectations. It was our pleasure to help with check-in/out and offer recommendations—we love making sure our guests have a seamless and fun experience.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and would be delighted to host you and your friends again anytime!
The house was beautiful/historic. The pocket billiard table provided many evenings of fun after a day of distillery tours! Excellent accommodation for small/large or even multiple families.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled that you enjoyed the historic charm of the house and had fun with the pocket billiard table after your distillery tours. It’s great to hear the home worked so well for your group, whether small, large, or multiple families. It’s truly a unique & special home, and we are proud to represent it! Thank you again for your kind words!!
Seven great friends stayed and had a blast. The sitting are was wonderful! The bedrooms were nicely decorated and the beds were comfortable. Definitely recommend this VRBO
Great location, very accommodating host, home exactly as pictured! Short Uber ride to everything we wanted to do. No weird people or neighbors observed so all of us gals felt safe. Would definitely stay again.
We had a great time!! The property was exactly as pictures showed. James was extremely helpful, we arrived late and he made sure everything was smooth for us coming in. There was road work happening(out of his control) but he made it easy for us even as we arrived after midnight. Definitively will stay again
The house was in a good location. Very easy to navigate to downtown. Had the weather been warmer I’m sure my group would have been happy to walk to the KFC Yum arena. More than enough beds for my family (5). Host was great at communicating. I would stay here again.

Kitchen cabinet and drawer were damaged prior to our arrival, the kitchenware was in poor condition. Neighborhood was not as advertised and we did not feel Comfortable. Neighbors told is we couldNot park on street despite the listing saying we could. We were in town for festival, if other options were available we would not have stayed.

Hi Thomas,
Thank you for your feedback. I’m very sorry to hear that parts of your stay didn’t meet expectations. I truly wish you had reached out during your visit — I would’ve been glad to take care of the drawer issue right away or offer compensation for the inconvenience. I wasn’t aware of any damaged cabinets or concerns with the kitchenware, but I’ll definitely take a closer look based on your comments.
Regarding parking, we’ve never had an issue before with neighbors asking guests not to park on the street, but I’m sorry if that caused any confusion or discomfort. There’s also private off-street parking in the back of the property that’s available for guests to use.
Everyone’s experience can be a little different, and while most guests really enjoy the home and the neighborhood, I’m sorry it didn’t feel that way for you.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and for bringing these matters to my attention.
Warm regards,
James
This was a lovely property, exactly as described in the listing. The home is spacious and had everything we needed for a family of 5. The kitchen was well-appointed and I really appreciated the coffee and snacks left by the host.
The location is also excellent, within 15 minutes of just about everything in the city. The host was helpful and responsive. We would absolutely stay again!
We had a fun stay! James was super responsive. The house is roomy and very cute. We would have loved a little more equipment in the kitchen (cooking utensils, plastic baggies, baking pans, etc), but otherwise everything was great for our group!
This was our second time staying on this property. We like that the house has plenty of room for all of us. Has amenities available and an extra space for a baby.
Enjoyed a quick trip to Louisville. This home is better then described. It is lovely and the hosts have thought of everything a guest may need! The area is a bit loud it was the 4th of July week so perhaps it’s quieter at other times. Would highly recommend this home and this host!
Wonderful stay! We celebrates a birthday, host was very responsive. We had no issues at all. Lots of snacks and coffee provided, waters. Very clean. Listing photos are identical to property. Comfy beds! Amazing, would stay again for sure!
