Great food just two blocks away, plus fun shopping, coffee, more restaurants, and much more just down the street. There’s also a Kroger less than 5 minutes away.

Consistently Excellent - returning customer

I am a returning customer, having stayed at one of the Bourbon Rentals residences three times since September, and I am back in a month for my fourth stay. That is testament to the consistent quality of the service from Brandon and Kayla at Bourbon Rentals. Each time, they have been welcoming, organized, quick to respond and they go out of their way to ensure each stay is as comfortable as possible. In a word, professional. I highly recommend Bourbon Rentals. 10/10.

The sheets kept coming off the mattress. I think it is because of the waterproof mattress cover.

Sorry to hear that about the sheets Jane. We haven't had any other feedback about this but we'll keep an eye on it and make a change if it becomes a recurring issue!

About the host

Hosted by Bourbon Trail Rentals

Host profile image
Most of what we do is details. Codes that work, sheets that are right, somebody answering when you text on a Friday night.

What makes it worth doing is who shows up. Family reunions. Wedding parties. The same four guys every Derby. Groups big enough that finding one house for all of them is the hardest part of planning the trip — which is most of what we buy our places for.

We're in Louisville, so ask us things. Which distillery is worth the drive, which restaurant needs booking two weeks out, whether the traffic is real. That's the part you don't get renting from someone three states away.

People book our places for a reason — a reunion, a wedding, Derby week, a bourbon trip. We'd rather you spend that time on the reason than on us.
