Enjoys staying at Bourbon House 2. It was roomy, clean and pleasant. Would stay again and it is close to the expo center.

Great location and nice house.
We had a wonderful stay at Bourbon House 2 while we were in Louisville for the Kentucky State Fair. The house was clean, comfortable, spacious, and had plenty of room for everyone to relax after long days at the fair. The location was very convenient for getting back and forth to the Kentucky Expo Center, and having plenty of parking was a big plus.
The house had everything we needed, and we especially enjoyed having the extra space to spend time together rather than being separated into hotel rooms. Check-in was easy, communication was great, and everything was just as expected.
Highly recommend it for families or groups visiting Louisville!
Super close to the airport made it easy for our group who all arrived and different times. Walking distance to the German area with good breweries and restaurants.
We found the property just as it was listed. We hosted an extended family meal upon our arrival and found the space to be very accommodating. There were a few utensils that we should have brought with us, but we were able to adjust. Thank You
Fun house with plenty of space for a group. Convenient location because we were only about 5-10 minutes away from everywhere we wanted to go.

Classic charmer with good vibes
Bourbon House 2 was the right house for our weekend trip. We had plenty of space, and it was close to all of our activities. Great communication with the host when we needed something. The house was stocked with pretty mostly everything, which was great!
We stayed 3 nights over Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time. The space was clean and plentiful for our entire family. The pictures were exactly as the home looked and all email instructions were clear and concise upon check in and check-out. We had the blessing of an early check in simply because the amazing cleaners got done a bit early…which helped our family to support my nephew who is a Louisville football player have a place to come visit after his practice. I highly recommend this home as it was accessible to campus, downtown, Bardstown area, the airport and the interstate. Thank you for a wonderful visit to Bourbon House #2!!!
Had a wonderful stay in Bourbon house 2. It was plenty of space for everyone. Loved having the large table for all 9 adults to sit around to eat and play games. Everything seemed to be a short drive for us. And the grown kids enjoyed having a few bars withing walking distance.
Stayed for volleyball tournament, location made it easy to get everywhere. Note that house is in the airport flyover zone, and you can hear them all throughout the day and night. Upstairs bedrooms, all queen size bed were very comfortable. King needs box springs. Kitchen is small but satisfied our needs. Parking was excellent.

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Unfortunate Stay.
Overall we were extremely disappointed. The lack of kitchen supplies forced us to cook thanksgiving dinner elsewhere and bring it back to the house. The cleanliness was subpar. There were dead flies in multiple rooms, the fridge had crumbs and residue in it, our feet all turned black from the floors, there was left over rehab supplies in a bunch of the drawers, and none of the mattresses or pillows had protectors on them. Also every time the heat kicked on it smelled like cigarette smoke. The bed in the upstairs back bedroom sheets were pilly, and sagged in the middle because the center support was missing. Also the blankets are so thin, they aren't much warmer than a normal sheet.
There wasn't adequate supplies for the length of our stay or the amount of people staying. We had to buy cleaning supplies, trash bags, toilet paper.... all these things should be pretty standard inclusion's.
When we book a place, we expect to be walking into a home away from home. This was not the case this time.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Dec 2022
To all future guests, we have a lengthy review history at this property and we have had all 5 star reviews, a single 4 star review, and now a 2 star review from Candice.
We had a guest departing the same day that Candice's group was scheduled to arrive. This is a larger home and it requires 4-5 hours to clean properly. Check in time is at 4 pm. Candice inquired about members of her group checking in early and I politely informed her that we would likely need until 4 pm to prepare the unit.
Despite this communication, a family of 5 with 3 young children arrived at the home at 2:30 pm, an hour and a half early for check in.
The group was very pleasant and they had been driving all day. They were all clearly tired and a bit agitated from the long trip, so despite our housekeeping team still having an hour and a half of work to do, I told the group that they were welcome to go inside early even though the home was not ready.
I thought this would get the stay off to a great start. I would consider this going above and beyond for a group of weary travelers.
I have young children so I am completely sympathetic to the need for parents to get little one's out of the car after a long road trip!
Our housekeeper was trying to finish cleaning the kitchen and floors with 5 extra people moving about the interior of the home.
I asked Candice to provide some feedback on what kitchen items she felt would improve the experience and I received no response.
We did have an issue with the clothes dryer. I immediately offered to remedy this situation as best I could by covering the cost of a pick up/drop off laundry service for our guests, dropping off extra towels, etc...whatever they needed. Candice asked if we could drop off more kitchen towels and we dropped off clean, fresh kitchen towels for them the very next morning.
This is a non-smoking home. We have hosted dozens of stays and there has been zero mention of cigarette odor. I'm not sure where this claim is coming from. We are getting into the colder season so it is possible there may be some type of burn smell when the furnace kicks on the first few times.
The above review also mentions a lack of supplies. As is mentioned in all of our booking confirmation messages, we do provide an initial stock of supplies that is more than sufficient for the majority of our guests, as a matter of face we have received lots of feedback from happy guests regarding the surplus of supplies that we provide when compared to other stays they've had in the past. It is clearly noted in our messaging that the guests will need to replenish supplies if they consume our initial allotment.
Future travelers, please book with confidence. We always strive to provide an exceptional experience for our guests. This review is not indicative of the level of service and comfort that we provide.
We loved the property! It was super close to the expo center! We had a late night foosball tournament after grilling steaks and sitting by the fire outside one night. We would definitely book this property again. The only complaint is that the dryer doesn't work. We had clothes that we had to take to a laundry mat. We don't like to pack clothes that smell like sheep to take home or wear in someone else's home.
The house was great for a friends' weekend. It was clean and had plenty of room for our purposes. Advanced warning, you can reach up and touch the airplanes as they land!
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 our places are built 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.
Why they chose this property
The basement is the reason. Glow putt putt, karaoke, bumper pool and a speakeasy lounge mean the night keeps going without anyone calling a ride. Upstairs is built for a crowd, and the house next door pairs with this one when your group grows.
