The AC couldn’t keep up with the heat. Maybe this is normal. However being from Minnesota having a house be in the upper 70s at night was miserable for us. The very upper level bedrooms stayed cool, luckily half of the orgjnal group didn’t come so the hot bedrooms were used very little. Also the master bath is a tub not a shower. So functional bathrooms with a shower are one.
Came to Louisville for a friends trip to finally do a bourbon tour and check out Churchill Downs. The house is in a very cool historic looking neighborhood and walkable to some fun bars and restaurants. It's also very close drive to everything else. We did downtown, Churchill Downs and even the airport was close to get to. The host was also very nice via messages and we had no issues. We look forward to visiting again one day it was a very fun city!
It was everything I was looking for and comfortable. I liked that it was clean and not far from everything we had planned to do.

Terrible Experience
First of all the pictures on line do not resemble the property. The property is old and it only has one shower. We had a very bad experience. When we first checked in, the 3rd floor temperature was at 85. We turned on the air conditioner and it went up to 89 horrible. We called the host, he sent the technician to fix it. The room continued to be hot all night until the morning. The 2nd floor was warm as well. The back door and storm door to the backyard closed but they wouldn't lock. The alarm in the front door went off early morning. Sheriff were next door looking for some juveniles. I don't recommend this place to anybody especially family with young children or teenager. A big safety concern for us. The host refused to refund us the money for the days we booked. Only stayed one night, had booked the place for 7 days. Reach out to VRBO explained to them our safety concerns. They said they tried to convience the host to give us back a refund for the days we had booked. The host refused. VRBO couldn't do anything about it. The host lied to VRBO regarding our safety concerns. No credibility. Book at your own risk. I'm writing this review because I wouldn't want anybody to go through what we went through very horrible experience especially when you are travelling with teenage girls.
Over all the house was great and spacious. Loved the old charm and character of this house! Really glad the table was large for dining allowing all of us to be together. Kitchen was stocked nicely with your standard spices and some extras. Backyard could have a little cleanup!
The spacious house is currently undergoing some renovations. It is in a nice neighborhood with easy access to the Highway and downtown. The bedrooms were spacious but the beds were very u comfortable. The 2.5 bathrooms featured only one shower so if you have a good size crown of adults it could be a challenge. The mid-level just couldn’t get cool enough as the weather heated up. There is road noise and residence noise during the night. The property manager was extremely easy to work with.
Had a gathering of 6 total individuals for 4 days to enjoy some of the great distilleries in the Louisville area and attend the PGA Championship. This house was in a perfect location to get to everywhere we wanted to be within 30 minutes (Valhalla golf course, Bardstown, and just minutes from Whiskey Row). The house was exactly as described, older but with a lot of renovations and charm. The rooms and beds were cozy, the bathrooms were clean and large, and the screened in back porch for the fenced back yard made for great late night relaxing and conversation. Only one hiccup occurred for the wifi being down, but the owner and the management team were extrememly quick to respond and got everything up and running quickly. Fantastic property to stay at and will most definitely return the next time we have a large group staying in the Louisville area!
Three guys coming in for a bourbon tasting weekend. The house was immaculate, if a bit dated. Fredie was the consummate host. Great instructions and procedures. The house is in ‘Victoria Louisville’ and is within a couple of miles a bunch of distilleries and these cool converted industrial spaces with several food stands and bars in them. Also, a couple of miles from the higher end restaurants in Louisville. Highly recommend.

Adequate for our purpose
Kitchen poorly stocked. Ceiling fans in disrepair, no cold water in bathroom sink and television would not connect to WiFi.
My family and I rented this place to make Thanksgiving, traveling from 4 different directions, Louisville was centrally located and reasonably priced. The property is an older home, which the owner is slowly fixing up. It has charming little details, but many provide hiding places for dust. The kitchen was fairly adequate and stocked with most of what we needed for 4 days of family meals. The property could use another trash bin,a s we more than filed the one provided. Parking was on the street, but was never an issue. Manager was easy to deal with.
Visited Louisville for guys weekend of bourbon trail, golf, and music. This house is surprisingly big with 5 bedrooms, has a lot of character, minutes from downtown/4th St, and easy access to highway. The screened back porch was excellent place to hang out in the evenings. There’s a convenient store, pub, and restaurants that are few minutes walk from house. Property manager was accommodating and made experience stress free.
The house is beautiful & fully stocked. Communication with the host was great! The only improvement would be some of the bedroom floors (esp the corners) could have been cleaner. We would definitely stay here again!
We loved the location and the house had so many beautiful architecture niches. We walked around the adjoining neighborhood and saw some pretty amazing houses. It was close enough to downtown and other places we went too. It was s fun trip for the weekend.
They had the property as clean as possible with a house of this age! The carpets are stained and look old. The beds are clean and the bedding is comfortable. The beds are comfortable as well. The hot water was great for all 5 showers in the morning. The location is loud on a semi busy street! Kitchen is well stocked with all you need for dishes and glassware.
I am a speech and debate teacher who was lucky enough to qualify 9 kids to attend the national tournament in 2022, which was held in Louisville. Our team has to complete multiple fundraisers each year to be able to attend things like this, so saving money on this trip was paramount. Renting this property and having a kitchen saved our team a LOT of money we would have otherwise spent on hotels and restaurants; plus, the location was central enough to conveniently reach every competition venue scattered across town.
The one and only flaw in our stay is that we were a bit unlucky that the week we were there, Louisville was having a huge heat wave. The first and third floors were always comfortable temperatures, but the second floor got very hot. That said, there were plenty of fans to keep us cool, and multiple air mattresses available for people to set up on other floors if they couldn't take the heat.
Communication with the owner was prompt and thorough. Because we reserved the week with our school card, he could have not bothered to be flexible, but instead was very gracious and accommodating when certain parts of our booking process got delayed.
I absolutely recommend staying here. It is central, reasonably priced, and easy to communicate with the owner. My students had a great time and learned so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you for hosting us!
I rented this property for a bachelorette weekend and it was perfect! The bride loved the Victorian style home. The owner sent me recommendations for food close by which was very helpful. We loved the burger joint down the street (walking distance). PLENTY of room for the 10 girls who stayed as well as parking. I was a little nervous about this since it was on the weekend but we didn't have a single problem. Highly recommend! Thank you for letting us rent your property.
We really enjoyed our stay at this house. It’s within 10 minutes of the state expo center which was our reason for being there. Lots of room for our group and a nice kitchen to cook up dinner. Freddie was also very helpful and made sure our stay was enjoyable.
The place was absolutely fantastic. Stayed here with 12 guys and it was just enough room. May have needed one more air mattress. Beautiful location beautiful house it seemed like everything was just 10 minutes away.
