Family Gathering

We needed a home that would safely and comfortably house eight of us, ages 18 to 90, for a weekend together. This home did just that and was very clean! We will keep it at the top of our list for places to stay when we visit our daughter over the next four years!

Everything you need!

This cute little place checks ALL the boxes. The host is far and away the most responsive and thoughtful we have dealt with. The home was stocked with more than just the necessities and the location made it perfect for our Bourbon Trail experience. It’s obvious that the host’s goal is to go above and beyond - and our part of 6 couldn’t have been happier!

Wonderful home and great location!

The home was very clean and very comfortable. Conveniently located to downtown Louisville and Churchill Downs. We rent at least 2-3 properties a year and this one is by far the best one stocked beyond general basic items. I.e. extra blanks, pillows, welcoming snacks and bottled water, toiletries in both bathrooms, laundry detergent, just to name a few. Pride in ownership shows in every detail. John was very responsive and easy to work with. With 6 children, 1 teenager and 2 adults, we never felt cramped or on top of each other. All beds were super comfortable and the couches in both living areas were comfortable. Great space inside and out. The backyard/outdoor space was excellent - beautiful maintained grass, that the kids loved playing on, outdoor dining area with umbrellas and a fire pit with extra seating - even lantern tiki torches that were very easy to use. Home is located on a very quite dead end street. Close to Wal-Mart, Target and Kroger. Only item I would caution on are the stairs. If you have a guest with mobility issues, the stairs may be a challenge. However, we had no problems with the stairs. Highly recommend this home and would book it again. Thanks John for opening your home and providing a wonderful place for our annual GramCamp!

Wonderful find in Louisville!

We usually stay in short term rentals when we travel. This house is one of the nicest and most well appointed places we have ever stayed. John has literally thought of everything to make this a home away from home. We were a family of 8 with kids ranging from 8-14. John is wonderful. He checked in during our stay to make sure everything was going well(it was). He responded very quickly any time I had a question. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in town.

Cute, clean, well decorated house, responsive host - would happily stay here again.

Our host was very responsive to all inquiries, and I had a few. The house was clean, nicely decorated, exactly as described. The kitchen was well equipped and nicely laid out (plenty of counter top space for meal prep); the coffee station was very much appreciated. Loved the patio and backyard - comfortable seating for 10, and lovely trees (including the next of baby birds). Bedrooms were cute, beds and pillows were comfy. There were two living rooms, both had great couches. Tech worked well. Driveway was sufficient for our 4 vehicles plus plus. House is just off a cul-de-sac, and was quiet. This was definitely one of the best value VRBO's we have rented, and will stay here again if we are in the area. We highly recommend!

Charming, clean and great location!

Everything about the house was great. Even before we arrived communication with the owner was excellent. We were able to get right in to the house with the code sent to my email. The house is very clean and cozy. There was plenty of room and the beds were very comfortable. They even had snacks and toiletries that we may have forgotten. We were there for a volleyball tournament at the Kentucky expo. It was a great location to get an Uber to take us to the expo. There were great restaurants close by and a Kroger and Target that aren’t too far. We had an excellent time! Would definitely stay here again.
