Amazing Space!
The house was wonderful and in such a great area. Amanda was a great host, she was super responsive and helpful, providing clear instructions for check-in and local recommendations that made our trip even more enjoyable.Location-wise, it couldn’t have been better. It was a great place to be when traveling in for the Derby. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay.

This was an excellent property for our family Christmas gathering! We had plenty of room to exchange presents and play with several of them! The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed from making morning coffee to reheating restaurant leftovers and seats at the island for all 4 children. All rooms were clean and well appointed. The house is close (walkable) to Bardstown Rd which has a variety of restaurants and shops. We used the large dining room for family games. We were able to take advantage of the backyard and deck when the weather turned warmer than usual. So much fun! The host ensured all bathrooms had everything we needed too! Exceptional property!
