Twenty people, one house, and nobody sleeping on the floor. Bourbon House 3 is a 5-bedroom, 9-bed home in walkable Germantown built for the trips that are hard to house: Derby week, a Bourbon Trail weekend, a reunion, a wedding block, a bachelor or bachelorette crew.
The main floor is one big open room: a 70" Smart TV, a sectional the whole group fits on, and 9' ceilings that open up to 12' vaulted upstairs. The kitchen runs on stainless appliances and granite counters and is stocked to cook and serve for everyone. Every bedroom has a Sealy Posturepedic Hybrid mattress, a Smart TV, a closet and its own storage.
Out back, a private patio with string lights, a gas grill, a fire table and plenty of seating, plus a private lot with off-street parking for 4 cars, rare in this neighborhood.
You're a short walk from Germantown's bars, micro-breweries, restaurants and coffee shops, one block from live music, 5 minutes from downtown and 15 from Churchill Downs.
Sleeps 18 in beds, 20 total. Need more room? The house next door pairs with this one for up to 33 guests.
