Thank you, Christian! We're thrilled you enjoyed your stay and found our property perfect for exploring the bourbon trail and Louisville. We can't wait to welcome you back for another great experience!
Our stay at the Historic 5BR Loft on Whiskey Row was absolutely outstanding — truly a 10/10 experience and the perfect first VRBO stay for our families.The space was ideal for two families traveling together. The layout gave everyone plenty of room to spread out while still having great common areas to gather, relax, and spend time together. The bedrooms were beautiful and well-appointed, and every bed was incredibly comfortable — which made a huge difference after long days exploring Louisville.The location simply can’t be beat. Being right on Whiskey Row put us within easy walking distance of restaurants, shops, and attractions. It made the entire trip so convenient and enjoyable.The host was fantastic — responsive and helpful leading up to our stay, attentive during our time there, and just as communicative at checkout. Everything was seamless from start to finish.We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Louisville, especially larger groups or multiple families traveling together!
Guys trip to do some bourbon tasting, and the loft did not disappoint. Perfect location and plenty of space.

We had 7 adults in town for a wedding. Pros:Great location. Walkable to anything u need Host was very responsive Lots of towels and they were decent. SecureClean bathrooms and kitchen area Cons:One closet. It is in a bathroom. There was another hanging area in the hall. Not enough for a place that sleeps twelve. We had seven people for four nights. No fitted sheets on beds. Used flat sheet on bottom. We were constantly fighting to keep sheets on bed Hallways and walls were dirty. Little dirt bunnies in the halls. Nail polish on the wall in one bedroom and on rug Rugs were dirty and were in the way of opening the bedroom doors. Dark . The days we were there were rainy and it was dark in apt despite a bunch of lamps The lamps had melted lampshades on them from bulbs too strong The furniture was shabby and uncomfortable. Again sleeps 12 but u can only seat 4-6 people on living room furniture. Sink in one bathroom was almost completely stopped up.One day had a strong smell of sewer in the three bedroom section. It eventually dissipated but if it had not it we would have had a serious issue for the person sleeping across from the bathroom . If the trap dries out, they should be running water in the unit to keep that from happening. Only two trash bags in the apartment. We had seven people for 4 nights. We could have managed the garbage better with at least a couple more. Outlets that didn’t work in bedrooms Good place for guys trip maybe
Great place to stay. Lots of room. Very clean. This has prime access to distillery row in Louisville and lots of distilleries in the outlying area. We will stay here next year.
We had a group of 10 adults stay. The property was very clean and well kept. Enjoyed the ping pong table and there was ample space for everyone. The beds and pillows were comfortable so we slept well each night. Would definitely stay again!
We enjoyed staying at this loft and was the perfect size for our group of 8. There were 2 bars right below us that we could access right from the building and walking distance to other bars, a casino, and restaurants.
The management company was very nice to work with great communication and easy instructions on how to access the loft. The only complaints from our group was that in the bedrooms there was not a closet or hooks to hang things up and nowhere to put your suitcase except on the floor. Other than that it was clean, airy, the ping pong table and foosball table were fun, the beds were comfortable, plenty of hot water and shower pressure. They even provided coffee with the coffee machine. We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area and had a large group.
