This was a great place to stay! I will certainly come here again if I have guests in town. If I had to complain, I would say I wish I could find some bedding for the pullout couch. Otherwise, great, and quick to respond host.

Very clean, very cute. Easy check in. It would be nice to have tv’s in the bedrooms and a mirror in the extra bedroom to help get ready in mornings. I would definitely recommend.

Read other reviews on the mildew smell and don't let the pictures on VRBO influence your decision. The interior has been updated and decorated pretty nice, but like other reviews the musty/mildew smell is there from the time you enter to the time you leave. The house is located on a very narrow one-way street with parking on the opposite side, your alternative is parking around the corner in front of an abandoned house that sits next door. The outside of the house has no appeal at all. The grass looked like it had not been cut in over a month which seems to be par for the neighborhood. The positive, it's a 9-minute drive to Buffalo Trace, which is why I booked it, but would choose 2 rooms at the Holiday Inn or Hampton Inn the next trip down!!!

Hello Amerigo! I’m so sorry your stay was unpleasant. When you arrived we had just come off of 10 days of rain, hence why all the neighbors yards were a tad high as well. Not sure what the fix for that would have been. :). We did mow the grass the day of your arrival shortly after you checked in. The house has been getting a musty smell due to all of the rain lately and not sure what’s happening there but we do have it slated to be looked at. We have no leaks and a dry crawlspace. We will work on that. Our listing states it’s a one way street and your welcome messages showed where to park. We do hope you still managed to have fun on your trip! Take care.

The property was nice for what we paid. Parking is limited to the front or around the corner. The space, furnishings and appliances were good for what we were wanting and was nice for our stay. The property manager went and bought a wood burning grill as one shown in pictures was no longer there. We enjoyed our stay at this property.
