About this property
The Henry - Historic, Walkable, Spacious Home in Nulu/Butchertown
Welcome to The Henry, your historic 5-star retreat. From the Bourbon Trail to Churchill Downs, enjoy all Louisville has to offer while escaping to your private sanctuary. Near downtown and Nulu, the historic Henry Hensel House has been newly and thoughtfully designed and renovated to have all the modern amenities you need and want, while keeping the Italianate charm. Very walkable with easy access to trendy restaurants, shops and bars. Direct and quick access to I71, I64, and I65.
Our home affords you the unique opportunity to stay in a house on the National Register of Historic Places, that was built for Henry and Mary Hensel (the daughter of the first butcher in Butchertown). During your stay you can enjoy the uncounterfeitable historic character with expansive 12' ceilings all original wood accents and features.. While simultaneously experiencing the fresh and modern updates and amenities, thoughtfully and expertly designed. Bedrooms are accessed via stairs only.
+ Start each morning refreshed from the 5-star hotel spa inspired shower.
+ Inside the kitchen, you'll find all the silverware, pots, pans and plates you need to cook yourself dinner from scratch. Because sometimes we just want a home-cooked meal, right?
+ Enjoy the outdoors from the side loggia or private cedar deck which looks at the walking bridge and Lynn Family Stadium (Lou City FC).
+ Have gatherings and meals around the large dining table
+ The living room is furnished with an art-inspired Frame flat-screen tv where you'll be able to enjoy Hulu, Netflix and more.
+ In terms of amenities, we've got you covered too! You'll have access to small, yet important, things like: A steamer, towels, soap, coffee maker, and more.
+ The Henry is so perfect, you'll want to stay forever. We've had guests ask. Just kidding. (But seriously.)
+ Sleeping arrangements: There are two queen beds, a full bed, and a comfy couch in the living room (draw straws on who sleeps here). There are two bedrooms upstairs, each has a queen bed and the larger of the two has an additional full bed.
Note: we do not permit parties, smoking, pets of any kind. Decor changes seasonally.
