    Stayed at the property for a long weekend with my Mom, Sister-in-law, and nieces. Check in was easy with contact via email and phone. Upon arrival, nice parking for our two vehicles. Maybe I didn’t read the description of the property carefully enough, but I didn’t realize the hill to the property was so steep. Thankfully, we are all able-bodied and able to carry all of our items up the hill from the parking area. Outside of the property was very overgrown with the fountain not in working condition, decking had peeling paint and warped and rotting boards, lots of weeds growing up in the landscaping with debris in the yard. On the plus side, nice deck furniture which allowed us to spend lots of time hanging out outside! Inside, we were thankful to see that the house was clean with lots of lovely character! Once upstairs, we found that the door to the hall bathroom wouldn’t close, and therefore, couldn’t be locked. Also, some drywall had been patched in the bathroom but not repainted. In the on-suite bathroom, the sink bowl was no longer fully attached to the wall and was being supported from underneath by a shower rod. In the kitchen, the refrigerator light was burned out, a cabinet door was not able to close properly due to missing screws. There were plenty of dishes, eating utensils, coffee for the coffee maker, dish soap, and towels which was lovely. The location of the property is great with lots of nice options for food and shopping within walking distance.

    I was there with a bunch of friends for a bachelor party. The host was great and the house was clean and in a good location. It was perfect for our group of bourbon lovers. Would definitely recommend!

    Grandma, grandpa, daughters, a son-in-law, a 4 yr old, 3 yr old, 1 yr old, and 11 month old! We loved the large couch for family time and cuddles with grandbabies, the sunroom became our playroom, the dining table was large for enjoying meals, lots of bedroom space, outdoor seating for bourbon and cigars, and grandma and grandpa had their own cottage!

    This place was the perfect location to be right in the heart of the Bourbon Trail and Downtown Louisville. The property owner was great with communication and responding to questions we had. The sleeping space for our entire group was enough to let everyone sleep comfortably. I highly recommend this property for this who are trying to experience Louisville in a nice location.

    The house was greatness! Its located in a super convenient part of town. It was about a 10 minute / $15 Uber to downtown and about 40 minutes to Bardstown. We had (8) adults and the house had plenty of room for us all. The hosts were super helpful and awesome to work with along the way.

    Leslie and Wayne (property owners) were very accommodating and great with communication . And the house was fantastic. It was blazing hot outside but very cool and comfortable inside. I definitely recommend this house.

    The house was great. It had plenty of room and wasn't a far drive to most of Louisville. The hosts were great, answer all of our questions and ensured we had everything we needed for our stay. I would absolutely stay here again.
