    A beautiful home just outside of downtown Louisville, in a quiet suburb. This home was just remodeled and the homeowner provides all the amenities that you need for a comfortable stay. A ten minute drive and you’re downtown enjoying the great restaurants and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this home.

    We were in town for a long weekend, this house was perfect for coming back to at night and relaxing. It had everything we needed. The only pause we had was the 10:00 checkout. It was doable, but we seemed rushed to get packed up and out by then. This isn't a negative comment, just an observation. It was disclosed before we booked, so we were aware. Again, thank you for an enjoyable weekend.

    Nicely renovated home right across from a coffee shop and walking distance to too many restaurants to count. The bedroom stays dark in the morning, and the living room is crazy comfortable. Great communication from the host, too.

    The VRBO was in a perfect location for us. We attended a volleyball tournament at Louisville convention center. I would recommend anybody stay at this location. If we get back to Louisville, we will definitely try to stay at the same place.Tom Wilson

    We were near everything we needed. Perfect distance from Raising Canes. House was exactly like the pictures showed. Papasan chair was very comfy. Loved the Roku tv in the bedroom. Perfect for our volleyball weekend! Host was very responsive and checked to make sure we had arrived ok. We would stay again!

    Came to Louisville for a long weekend to visit with my son and his girlfriend and to watch the national football championship game. Can’t imagine our staying at a hotel again as long as homes like this are available. It’s so much more relaxing and has the benefit of a kitchen available.

    Positives - As described, clean, good proximity to things to do, parking behind house, and effective for costNegatives - Immediate location is okay, but surrounding areas are pretty rough. That’s really the only complaint outside of noise from planes flying overhead. Some of the windows weren’t locked when we arrived. Not a big deal, so didn’t say anything to the host. Just thought it was weird.

    The Bourbon Belle was the perfect location for a quick, quiet visit to Louisville. The home was cozy and comfortable, very convenient to downtown and distilleries and for hopping on/off the interstate. We’ve already recommended to friends that have Louisville and tastings in their travel plans. Thanks to Karen and Ken for sharing their stylishly updated shotgun house!
