About this property

Charming 2 BR home by Emerson Park & Gardens - UL, Downtown, Shopping and Eats

Discover the Charming 2 Bedroom Home by BNB Louisville: Welcome to our home in the wonderful neighborhood of Schnitzelburg. This charming updated 2 bedroom 2 bath home is just minutes from Downtown, U of L, the Highlands, and the Airport. Germantown/Schnitzelburg is not only centrally located but also perhaps the most sustainable in Louisville. Walk (or bike) to numerous restaurants, bars, grocery store all close by. Relax on the porch or stroll Emerson park gardens and truly soak in the sense of community this historic and unique town has to offer.

Our home features the original hardwood flooring, transom windows, raised ceilings/doorways with most of the original trim-work. We’ve added on the master spa bathroom featuring heated floors and towel rack and large modern glass enclosed shower. All super high end.

The master bedroom is spacious with plenty of drawer and closet space to make yourself at home. Luxury linens and comfy bedding too.

And in the second bedroom - a surprise queen Murphy bed that folds away to transform the space into a yoga retreat or bonus work space as needed.

An added bonus for guests is in the kitchen - we have lots of gadgets and several coffee/tea making devices to suit your preference. We even provide a Nespresso for you so feel free to indulge.

One of the best features is the location just in front of Emerson Park (and Community Garden). This was the site of a former school house transformed into a community space. We have since given up our plot in the garden but feel free to wander about or sit and enjoy the green space. Many of our neighbors have plots there and it truly brings to life the meaning of community gardening.

Pleasant little house

We enjoyed our stay at this property and found the communication from the property manager's good. They were able to help us when we had a date issue, even though there were not obligated to do so. The weather was dreary during our stay, but it was a fine place to be. We could not explore the neighborhood much with the rain, but it served our needs well.

Returning Home

My partner and I once owned a property just a few blocks from this home. It feels good to go "home" and see the upkeep and vitality of the housing and neighborhood. This property met all our needs with the subtle touches of Louisville and Kentucky flare highlighted for the out of town visitor. The area is safe for walking and surrounded by gardens, parks and food options that negate having to have a car. It is close to downtown and other vital neighborhoods. The spa like amenities in the bath and kitchen made the stay a relaxing one.

The perfect introduction to Louisville

My family and I had never been to Louisville before so we had no idea what to expect. This cute home in the Schnitzelburg neighborhood of Louisville was perfect. It's basically a quick 10 minute drive to anywhere we needed to go (Downtown, Churchill Downs, Airport, University of Louisville) We met the neighbors right away to ask for food recommendations- they were super nice and directed us to a pizza shop a few blocks away. There, we found a bunch of neat cafes and small restaurants- everything we ate was delicious. The home itself is cozy and charming and the owners did a wonderful job of communicating with us to make sure our stay was just right. If we're ever back in the Louisville area, we will definitely be back!

Wonderful place, great stay for my partner and me with our two small dogs!

I almost hesitate to share this, as I’d like the place to be available the next time I’m in town, but this is a fabulous rental! Clean, well-appointed kitchen, attractively decorated, comfortable, backyard for our pups, walkable neighborhood, good communication with host, protective neighbors to ensure feeling safe, outdoor space to sit with coffee or a drink, close to Louisville entertainment. We hope to return!

Cozy place with everything you need!

This house was located in a good spot to easily access the Louisville area. It was well stocked with pots and pans and dishes and little amenities like coffee, tea, dishwasher and laundry soft, etc. The place was very clean and cozy. The street parking can be a little tight, but overall this place was great. I would definitely stay there again!

Quaint, cozy, very clean, in an eclectic part of town. Feels like home away from home. Check out the bunnies in the garden behind the house or beer at the brewery around the corner- something for everyone.

Stylish, Comfortable & Convenient

Cute little shotgun house in the Germantown neighborhood steps from Emerson Park. The hosts were wonderful, the check-in process was easy, and the house was perfect for my parents and me. Updated interior, comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, and very nice neighbors! The location is close to downtown and convenient to most anywhere else you'd like to go via Eastern Parkway. Great value for the money. We'll definitely stay again when we visit family who live nearby.

Nice place but only 1 shower

The house is nice and clean. It is within walking distance of a few restaurants. However, the house is listed as 2br/2ba. The guest bathroom does not have a working shower. It has a sink, toilet, and bathtub only. The shower does not work. I never heard back from the realtor when I emailed about it. Otherwise, the house is nice and is as explained in the listing.

Great place to call temporary home!

One of the cleanest places I’ve ever stayed in. Everything was labeled, especially light switches, which was incredibly handy. The place was spacious. I also enjoyed the fenced in backyard. The master bathroom was my absolute favorite. Heated floors and huge shower jet assembly. I also have never stayed in a place that was so well stocked with appliances, cookware, and coffee/tea selections.

Great Lousiville Vacation Hub!

A perfect property for a long weekend friend-cation in Louisville. The house is comfortable and quiet with thoughtful amenities. The master bedroom's en suite bathroom with waterfall/jet wall shower and washer/dryer was delightful. Kitchen was great to use as well. Location felt safe and perfect for exploring the Olmstead Parks, NuLu, and other Louisville points of interest. We had a better time on this trip because of our rental choice. The hosts were proactive and clear at check-in and check-out.
