Made Our Tournament Weekend Easy & Enjoyable!
We enjoyed our weekend stay at the Locomotive house! The location was great and simplified our weekend and tournament travel. This house is close to many restaurants, coffee shops, pretty much anything g you’d need. Our host was very prompt and easy to work with on any requests, like our ask to add an additional night when we needed to come a day earlier than originally planned.

Weekend in Louisville
The house was super clean and comforting. We were close to U of L and the Expo center. The train did not bother us at all. It goes so slow you barely know it is there. We enjoyed watching it from the upstairs windows.

Great stay
We had a great stay. The inside is really clean and updated. The high ceilings were so pretty. It was very convenient to have a Kroger store right behind the property as well. The outdoor space needs some updating and does not reflect how nice the inside is. The neighborhood seems just ok.

Unique house with great features
Front exterior of the home does not match the photo posted. We thought we were at the wrong home. However, the interior is wonderful with everything needed and more. The backyard area is wonderful. Overall the home was great with comfortable accommodations and great bathrooms. The exteriors needs updgrades to make it Awesome.

Historic Louisville
Lovely property - just as pictured. Host was great at communicating. The house is right up against a train track (thus the name 'locomotive house') but it was not a disturbance at all. The neighborhood looks a little run down but was completely quiet and safe. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Location!
My son was competing at the expo center and this was just perfect. My boys loved having the train next to us. Some may be bothered by how close the train is, but that is not a hidden secret when you book here. We loved our stay here! Always easy to find a parking spot. There's a grocery story, gas station, Starbucks right around the corner. Churchill Downs is also right around the corner. Great location for what we needed! Thank you!

Cute house near Churchill Downs
Very cute house Had several amenities that some dont have, like a steamer, soaps, shampoos and conditioners. The house is literally a block or so from Churchill Downs ( we were there for Derby kickoff). The one downside is the train sounds like its in your room all night and the entire weekend the neighbors were up past 1am having a good time...but that cant be controlled. The backyard does not have a lot to offer to hang ou. But i think that is because it is the other option to park your car. We did have great street parking all 4 days so we didnt use the private driveway/backyard. Overall, a great house and nice place to stay for a long weekend.

Great location, great weekend
The locomotive house was fantastic, exactly as listed. Location was great for our weekend and plans. The property was clean and stocked with necessities to get you started. Communication with property owner was well timed, very clear, and included recommendations for restaurants for your stay. I’d love to visit during warmer weather, the backyard area looked like a great place to spend an evening. Thrilled with our stay and!

First time renting a house, have to say it was really great. Totally different felling heading to a house where you can relax after a long day on your feet, verses a hotel room. The place was clean and the beds comfortable.

Very convenient to expo center and university of Louisville
Our stay was great, Freddie had perfect timing with all communication and the house was as expected. Walking distance to a number of nearby venues and convenient to get in and out of. Even during a major sporting event we were able to find a route without traffic. House had a lot of nice touches that made our week go easier. Small things like noise machines and plenty of towels. Kitchen was well equipped and clean. We plan to use this property again next year

LOCOMOTIVE HOUSE LISTING
THIS IS CERTAINLY A LOCOMOTIVE HOME... I HADE 2 YOUNG CHILDREN UP ALL NIGHT FOR TWO NIGHTS... IF A MILE LONG TRAIN WAS NOT PASSING THROUGH, ( WHICH IS LITERALLY 50 FEET AWAY), A PLANE WAS TAKING OFF FROM THE AIRPORT WHICH IS ALSO VERY CLOSE BY..... THIS WENT ON FOR OVER 5 HOURS... IT IS UNFORTUNATE THE HOST DOES NOT SPECIFY THIS ON HIS POST... IT IS A VERY WELL KEPT, NICE HOME, BUT THE NIGHTS ARE A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE..
