Great neighborhood

The house is in a great neighborhood. Very close to a park to run/bike. A lot of great restaurants within walking distance. The house is old but clean with a lot of charm. The owner was great, met us at the house and showed us everything we needed to know.

Nice quiet neighborhood

Excellent historic house in the Highlands area of Louisville. Although our time spent in the house was limited as we were working most hours of the day, the house was still very comfortable and accommodating for all of us. The weather was not conducive to using the backyard and pool but from what i could see I bet it is spectacular in the summer months. All in all the house was exactly as described and Wayne and Leslie were wonderful hosts in making sure we had everything we needed for our stay.

Great short vacation

We had a great time in this quiet historic neighborhood. The house was perfect for my golf group (4 adults). It had everything we needed...comfortable bed room, equipped kitchen, a place to play cards (inside and outside), and a pool to cool off after a hot day of golf. Loved it it!

Great location!

My family stayed here for a couple of nights during our vacation. The place was just as listed. A little pricey but you are in a great location, very walkable to restaurants, grocery, etc. and there is a pool which provided us entertainment for most of our visit. It was a nice stop along our way.

Perfect for a group stay in Louisville

This is one of the finest VRBO experiences I've ever had. The house is beautiful. The rooms were well apportioned. The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were clean. The kitchen had all the tools we needed. The grill had a full tank of propane. The pool was clean. The neighborhood was ideal. Communication with the hosts was seamless. Really, there's nothing negative to be said. Thank you!

Early Spring Break

My family spent a week at this property in early April 2022. The host met us at the property to get us acquainted. The property is located in a historic part of Louisville and convenient to many restaurants. There is only street parking available. The house was well stocked and clean and had everything we needed. We very much enjoyed our stay. Only drawback was the limited hot water for 6 people staying. And the wood floors were a bit slippery for kids in socks especially on the stairs. But we enjoyed our stay and only would’ve changed the weather.

Cute 100y Old House

We could tell the property had not been rented in awhile, we had to clean all the dishes before we could use them, and the general deep cleaning of the house was not done, and we had to tighten up some of the furniture to use it as well. Otherwise, our stay was excellent! Great location, very cute house, and we had plenty of room for 7 people. Would absolutely stay there again.

Wonderful historic home with pool

We enjoyed our stay at this charming home. Leslie was very helpful and responsive to any questions. Though an old house, the place was comfortable (although you have to be okay climbing stairs and with kind of tight restrooms), with well-appointed, nicely decorated bedrooms with plenty of pillows. The house had all the necessities you might need, even many beach towels to use at the pool. The neighborhood was peaceful but only a couple blocks from Bardstown Road where there are many restaurants and shops.

Great house in a great neighborhood!

My friends and I had a great stay! The house was clean, super spacious, and in a fantastic location! Leslee communicated quickly and helped if we had any questions. The pool was the icing on the cake- they even came and checked on the pump and cleaned it out because of a storm to make sure it was working well for us!

Great Derby Weekend

Our group traveled from Texas to attend the Oaks and Derby and had a great stay here. There were 8 total in the group and the house was the perfect size, although it could have probably slept a couple more. Leslie was there to greet us at check-in to give us a tour and couldn't have been nicer. She was attentive to our needs on the small things that we communicated about throughout the weekend and was great to deal with throughout the booking process and our stay. The house is in a great location just off Bardstown Road and made it easy to get to the local restaurants without having to travel too far. It was also an easy drive to/from Churchill Downs for the races. Overall this was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this house to anyone wanting to visit Louisville.

About the host

Hosted by Leslie

Host profile image
I love introducing our city to visitors, whether they're from out of town or out of the country. We are happy to recommend popular dining and tourist destinations to our guests, answer questions about the area, or help guests find resources for services that may enhance their visit. We love to travel ourselves, so we understand and appreciate the adventure of exploring new places or even returning to old favorites.

Why they chose this property

Perfect as your Derby or Bourbon-Tour headquarters with family and friends, or to relax while on your business trip. This is a Victorian home in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood of tree-lined streets with sidewalks and historic homes side-by-side on every block, just around the corner from one of the most vibrant and popular entertainment districts in Louisville and very close to beautiful Cherokee Park. The house needed a lot of renovation to bring it up to guest-ready, but it was a labor of love...and we love sharing it!

What makes this property unique

A fantastic home with private seasonal swimming pool in a very quiet and walkable neighborhood 2 blocks from the Bardstown Road Strip and minutes from everything you'd want to see or do in Louisville. Great location with easy access to freeways, Downtown, Churchill Downs, EXPO Center, and museums. Explore from here!
