The River Vale | A Refined Retreat in the Ohio River Valley

Welcome to The River Vale, a four-story home tucked along Louisville’s historic River Road corridor. Designed with a balance of comfort and Kentucky charm, this thoughtfully curated space is ideal for families, couples, and business travelers alike.

Above your private garage, step inside to discover layered living across three additional floors:
- 4 welcoming bedrooms, including a king suite and a private first-floor hideaway
- 3.5 bathrooms with fresh linens and thoughtful touches
- A media room with 85” TV, wet bar, and wine cooler
- A cozy sunroom with poker table and deck access
- A fully equipped kitchen, two decks (one screened-in), and ample indoor/outdoor seating

Each floor offers its own unique vibe, from the quiet comfort of the upstairs suites to the playful energy of the downstairs entertainment spaces. All bedrooms include TVs for added relaxation, and flexible common areas make it easy to gather or spread out.

Unwind on the screened-in porch, enjoy a morning coffee on the back deck, or relax after a day exploring the Bourbon Trail, Churchill Downs, or nearby river parks.

🗝 The River Vale invites you to slow down, settle in, and savor the best of Kentucky.
