Amazing Stay!

I can't say enough good things about this property and our stay. It was perfect for our annual couples golf trip. Conveniently located in Louisville, for our commutes to restaurants and golf courses. Having an ensuite in every bedroom was perfect for us. There is comfortable lounge spaces upstairs and downstairs. The beds were comfy, everything was perfect. Kristen was excellent in communication. Again, perfect stay. I will definitily book this again for future travels!

Pure Perfection

Here’s a polished version of your review: “We had an amazing stay at this Vrbo in Louisville! The location was absolutely perfect—just a short walk to shops, restaurants, and bars. The home was exceptionally clean, and the decor was truly first class. With four couples in our group, the spacious layout was ideal, giving each of us our own en-suite for added privacy. We also loved having two separate living areas and a large dining table that comfortably seated all ten of us. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to stay!”
