Fantastic property with all of the amenities! This was the perfect place to call home base during our bourbon trail trip. Everyone was more than comfortable during the stay. The house host was very communicative and responsive. The house was entertainment ready and we all wish we had an extra day planned in our stay to simply enjoy the house and all it had to offer. Perfect gathering spot that had ample community space for ultimate relaxation. The fully finished and well appointed basement game room was such an awesome space for our group. We had a blast. Thank you to our host!!

The house was very well maintained and had everything needed to have a great time. Plenty of space for everyone to enjoy their time there. Basement is a bit cold but that is to be expected in the winter. Definitely would come back in the warmer months.

My family and I stayed here for 7 days, and we had an absolutely wonderful time! There were 18 of us in total, and the house comfortably accommodated everyone with plenty of room to spread out, relax, and enjoy time together.The home was immaculately clean when we arrived and was exactly as pictured in the listing. The beds were comfortable, and we appreciated having both bath towels and pool towels provided. Check-in and check-out were simple and seamless, making the entire experience stress-free from start to finish.The amenities were outstanding. The pool and hot tub were enjoyed daily, and the provided pool floats were a fantastic bonus. We also spent a lot of time in the basement game area, with the dart board quickly becoming a family favorite. There was truly something for every age group.We loved the complimentary coffee and the multiple coffee stations throughout the house. The kitchen was very well stocked and large enough for several people to prepare meals together at the same time. For a group our size, that made a huge difference.The property itself is peaceful and quiet, with beautiful sunset views that we looked forward to each evening. The location was also very convenient, with Kroger and Walmart nearby. We enjoyed exploring the area, including dinners in Shelbyville and Louisville, and visits to several local distilleries.The host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We made so many wonderful family memories!

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled that you and your family had such a fantastic stay at Eminence Downs. Hosting a large group is exactly what we designed the home for, so it brings us so much joy to hear that everyone had plenty of room to spread out, relax, and make memories together. It sounds like you took full advantage of everything the property has to offer—from relaxing in the pool and hot tub to family dart board tournaments in the basement! We also love knowing that the large kitchen and coffee stations made cooking for your big group a breeze. Those Shelby County sunsets really are something special, and we are so glad you got to enjoy them after your days out exploring the local distilleries, Shelbyville, and Louisville. Thank you for being such incredible guests and for taking such great care of our home. We would be absolutely honored to welcome your family back for another getaway anytime!
