The Burb Inn is a hip place to stay in the Phoenix Hill/NULU district of Louisville. Walking distance to top rated restaurants, bars, and attractions. Great place to host a group of friends, family or smaller bachelor party. Includes private parking, yard & fire pit.
Upon entering there is a living area perfect for entertaining with 16’ ceiling & sleeping loft above the kitchen area. Upstairs has two bedrooms with queen beds each with private half bath. There is a separate private shower room.
The original structure was built in the early 1900’s and operated as a storefront for various businesses. There is a rich local history of the unit. It still retains much of its original feel and structure, but was fully renovated in 2022-23 into a Louisville destination vacation rental by hosts Hilary and Steve, who have a passion for Louisville and its local offerings.
This block of East Muhammad Ali boulevard is generally quiet, a few blocks from the heart of NULU. There is a corner market for easy access to needed items. There is a fun beer garden and pizza place just one block away.
You will have full access to the premises. You will enter through the front door. There is also a side gate entrance with a private breezeway/alley on the property. We keep this side gate entrance locked at all times, but you can access the breezeway space from the rear bedroom sliding door.
Attached to the property is a private gravel driveway for guest use with a gated yard, bbq, and fire pit with firewood stocked. If you would like to use the gated outdoor space, let us know as there is a separate key and a few instructions for using the barbecue and fire pit we like to cover.
Behind the main house is our separate studio unit, also connected to the breezeway. We will always let you know if we or another guest is using the our studio, and it is often vacant. The studio is not a part of our listing, but if you want additional information please reach out to us.
We are always available to assist you. If we are not available in person, we will respond quickly through Airbnb message. Let us know if you need anything. Additionally we have lots of good local recommendations if needed.
*Your stay can also be 100% contactless if that is your preference.
