Fun getaway

Enjoyed everything about this beautiful property. Snow came in when we were supposed to check in and Matt made sure to communicate with us on check in. Extra blankets and towels, but my favorite part is that we had a private chef come in to the beautiful kitchen and cook us an amazing supper! Highly recommend

Charming speakeasy house

The house was great to stay and was plenty big for us. Close enough for us to the downtown area and other areas. Matt and Melissa are great and were able to give us a lot of recommendations for places to go and things to do. Would highly recommend staying here for anyone looking to stay in the area.

Extended stay in Louisville

We were in Louisville for almost two weeks for a series of basketball tournaments at the nearby Expo Center. The house was perfect - beautifully decorated, clean, great location - felt like a home away from home. The owner was quickly responsive to questions and inquiries. We would stay here again anytime!

Great Location and Gathering Places

The house is decorated so nicely with lots of areas to gather. The location is fantastic with it being only a couple of miles from all of the downtown distilleries, restaurants and shopping. The owner was also very responsive. My husband and I stayed with our grown children and we loved hanging out in the backyard to watch the fireflies. Highly recommend this house!

The Perfect stay in bourbon country.

Matt and Melissa were very informative and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay in Louisville. The property is absolutely amazing! A beautiful comfortable home with high end finishes worked into a historic building. The right mix of comfy and luxury. Very well situated in a nice quiet neighborhood, and a great launching point to explore the town. I couldn’t ask for more, and it will be our place to go whenever we visit the area.

One of the best properties I’ve ever stayed at. Matt was communicative, had some great food/drink place recommendations, the instructions on check in and check out were clear and concise. We felt very welcome. The property was insanely gorgeous, decorated to perfection and was very comfortable for the 6 of us during our stay. We plan to rent it the next time we are in Louisville.

My buddies and I came to Louisville to golf for a couple of days. Your Home was warm and inviting. The remodeled kitchen and baths were "state of the art"! My crew was a little apprehensive of the neighborhood, but there were NO issues and it was completely unfounded. PS Communication was very good!
