    Had everything that was listed only I understood that there were 3 queensize br with a bonus room with a pull out couch that sleeps 8 total. There was two br with queensize beds and the bonus room had a pull out couch for the size of two children? We had 6 grownups so how would it possibly sleep 8? Kne smaller adult on the pull out couch 1 adult on thr couch in the living room. We did find a blowup mattress that may sleep two so I dont know where the 8 total came in? We made it work.

    This was a perfect place to stay! We were in between Louisville and Fort Knox so for us, the location was great. It was very clean, quiet, and so much better than a hotel! The bed was so comfortable. I’d highly recommend staying there and would again. We weren’t lacking anything. The backyard was very spacious and nice but the weather was too hot while we were there to go out and sit.

We’ve stayed at a lot of VRBO’s and Fredie was one of the best hosts we’ve had! House is as listed. We were very comfortable and our pup loved the fenced in yard.

    Property was very clean and the interior motif was excellent for the Bourbon Area. Would have been nice to have 2 beds in one of the rooms, even though the description said sleeps 6 it was a tough fit for 4 adult men. Still rate it as a overall 4-5 plan on going back next year for our golf outing.

    We stayed for 2 nights to attend an event in Louisville. The house was only a 20 minute drive from the venue and reasonably priced to meet our needs. The house is small and cozy with the expected Bourbon decor. The queen beds were tough memory foam and the master bedroom bed shifted each time someone rolled over, making it difficult to get a good night sleep. One room is set up for children with games and bright colors. The only reason we gave a 4/5 for cleanliness was due to the floor having what seemed like yard clippings or dirt and cobwebs. The patio items outside were blown over but it was too cold for us to spend time there anyway. Overall I would stay there again due to the convenience Of location and price but would be better prepared to make the beds more comfortable.

There were snacks, a couple water bottles, coffee, and a few other general items that the host provided which was nice. Typically don’t see hosts leaving snacks so I was very happy when I saw this after my long drive. Would stay here again!

    The house was cute, clean, easy check-in, snacks and cold bottles of water were left. There were some spices, ketchup, mustard, bbq sauce, coffee pods and creamer. We were there for four nights (couple). Neighborhood seemed to be safe and quiet (except the trains). The master bed is very loud and creaky, and you roll to the center, not comfortable. We were going to move to the spare room, but after sitting on it, felt it was going to be the same as the Master room. The check in was easy. About 30-40 minutes to Kentucky Derby (Churchill Downs), Little Slugger and Muhammad Ali museums, parking to walk the Big Four Bridge and the drive to Bardstown.
