About this property

Secret Garden Carriage House - 3BR/2BA - Fire pit!

Summary:
Welcome to the Secret Garden Carriage House in Old Louisville! Your own private getaway in the middle of the largest collection of Victorian homes in the country. This carriage house was built at the turn of the century as part of the Speed Mansion (the first house in Louisville to have a telephone) at the corner of Garvin Place and Ormsby. It has been fully renovated to accommodate guests looking for a little piece of the Derby City charm.

The Space:
Walk upstairs to an open floor kitchen/living room with lots of natural light, a nook dining area, and a large TV. Newly renovated kitchen includes dishwasher, oven, microwave, toaster, coffee maker and a range of cooking supplies. A bedroom with two twin beds shares a bathroom with a queen bedroom. Queen bedrooms all have white noise machines. Downstairs houses the master bedroom and private bathroom as well as a fully stocked laundry area. Guests also have access to a garage, if needed, where you can store a small, possibly mid-sized vehicle. A serene English-style private courtyard that is shared with both units is the perfect place to unwind. Solar walkway lighting illuminates the courtyard at night.

Parking:

The garage can house a small to medium sized car - additional parking is available for free on the street, which is a block up from the alley.

Proximity:

Downtown / International convention center - 2 miles

Expo Center / Fairgrounds / Kentucky Kingdom - 4.5 miles

Airport - 5.7 miles

Churchill Downs - 2.8 miles

The Neighborhood:
Old Louisville is the largest concentration of preserved Victorian style homes in the United States! It's an eclectic and exciting area with great sights to take in and close proximity to entertainment!

Everything as expected

The property was as listed. The outdoor space is quite nice-it is shared with another unit but the individual areas are separated. I didn’t have any large problems during my stay. There wasn’t any laundry detergent available to complete the requested check out procedures and I didn’t get a response from the host when I asked about it, but as long as that doesn’t count against me I’m fine. It’s basic accommodation at a fair price for the neighborhood. Worked well for my family’s stay and no major complaints.

Secret Garden

The house was clean. The one parking spot is to small for a pick up, that is if you can get the code for the garage door to work, so you have to park out on the street thats about 2 blocks away, then walk down a sketchy dark alley. There was a total of 5 bath towels in the place. No wash rags or hand towels except for the 1 in the kitchen. Where there was also no wash rag or sponge to do dishes. The TV didn't work. The downstairs bathtub had a bad leak. We left after the first night and checked into a hotel.

Beautiful location, with a lot of beautiful houses. Its was great and convenient to downtown and the University. Much better than a hotel, with a kitchen and washer and dryer and a great deal nightly! I would recommend. Down the alley is a quaint coffee shop called North Lime coffee!
