Perfect KY Getaway for our Family
Can’t say enough good things about this property and the property owners! Incredibly hospitable and super easy to communicate with. Location was great. Very nice quiet neighborhood. Easy to get to Churchill Downs and a variety of distilleries. The house itself was really nice and the backyard and pool are amazing! We spent a long weekend with our parents for their 70th birthdays and they and the grandkids all had a super fun and relaxing few days together!

Derby Weekend
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home nestled in the country. Just a short drive to grocery store and food options. This was a perfect fit for our group of 5 couples for the Kentucky Derby. We enjoyed the patio and pool as well, with large open living space on the main floor. Our host Melissa communicated very well leading up to our stay and during our time there. The house was decorated for the Derby and great attention to all the details. Will stay again!

Beautiful Home Away from Home
Our family travelled to KY for some much needed family time. This home was perfect and easily accommodated 6 adults and 4 children. Everyone commented that this home truly made us feel welcomed and that they felt that they could really relax. Melissa went above and beyond to make our visit special and we are so thankful for the memories that were made during this visit. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home, Melissa!

First Class Experience
Greatly enjoyed our stay in the Louisville horse country. House is new, designer quality and every room is well appointed - just like the pictures. Plenty of room for large group/family. Great location/surrounding area with easy access. Outdoor area also great and spent a lot of time on back porch enjoying the view. Tons of birds - hummingbirds, cardinals, blue jays, etc. and very peaceful. Melissa was a great host, flexible, and easy text communication. We had a family wedding in the area, but also enjoyed golf courses, downtown, Churchill Downs, etc. We have rented many homes on Homeaway and this one is very highly recommended.

Modern, clean open home in beautiful neighborhood, with awesome games and backyard
Pool table and ping pong table and mini side by side basketball make this place so much fun to stay at. Great sound options for music, great tvs for watching movies and shows, and a great backyard for Frisbee and boccee ball. Amazing back porch with fan to enjoy a hot day on. Very clean, and nice condition rooms. Perfectly sized kitchen and open concept. Thanks Melissa!

About the host

Host profile image
Russell owns a business, The Vacuum Authority. Melissa is a Wardrobe Consultant and helps people in manage their closets. We recently purchased this home in 2016. We had rented our prior home 5 years in a row for the Derby and had repeat customers with 5 star reviews. We have three boys and love to rent our home for Derby and leave town!

Why they chose this property

This new home is located in a beautiful area surrounded by horse farms. Quiet and beautiful views with wonderful covered porch to enjoy outside. The entire home had a designer work with the builder, so on trend with the newest looks.
