You decide.

Vahalla Golf Course is 3.3 miles and is open for all, but check for events schedule. Bourbon Tours are always a hit. Mammoth Cave is about a 2 hour drive and a must see adventure. Please let me know in advance if you plan on going to any of these venues and need a shuttle to take you and return to any of these venues.

Unrivaled place to stay
If you stay here you might be spoiled for the rest of your vacationing experiences! Extremely well appointed home with a kitchen that is second to none; every possible appliance and even a well stocked pantry. Beds were very comfortable, the air conditioning was superb (plus ceiling fans in the bedrooms), and property was at the end of a very quiet dead end street. We were greeted warmly by the friendly and generous host our first day which really set the tone for our whole stay (very comfortable for three adult couples). You would be hard pressed to find a better property!

Our best VRBO/Air B&B experience
We travel a lot and often rent through VRBO or AIR B&B. This is by far the nicest place we have stayed. It felt like home. The house is warmly decorated and welcoming. The host was amazing and thought of everything even down to welcoming us with a plate of chocolate chip cookies. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook during our stay. Everything was very clean. The house is in a nice quiet neighborhood. We couldn’t be happier with our stay and have already booked to return next year

Great for a family trip!
We had family meet up from WI, MI and IA in Louisville for a vacation. I can’t say enough good things about staying at Bea’s place. We easily slept 7 adults and a toddler. Our daughter loved the play structure and the big yard. Bea even had a tiny chair for her to sit on out on the deck. Just as the other reviewers have said the house is immaculate, Bea is friendly, helpful and accommodating, and her cookies are delicious! We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Bea's house. It is exactly as described and pictured. Everything was clean and comfortable. We loved sitting out on the back deck. The house is a quick drive to Louisville. Bea is a wonderful host: warm and welcoming without being intrusive. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks, Bea!

What a beautiful home!
Our host was very welcoming upon our arrival. The home was well-stocked with items we needed for our stay (laundry detergent, trash bags, toiletries, various foods and snacks, etc). The home is located in a quiet neighborhood, and very close to shopping and entertainment places. And it’s not far from The Kentucky Expo Center. I would definitely stay here again. 😀

The family Christmas after Christmas.
The house was beautiful. The host left her beautiful Christmas decorations up, per my request. We celebrated Christmas after Christmas had passed and all her decorations made it still feel like Christmas time for us. The host was amazing we had a large plate full of fresh chocolate chip cookies waiting for us. They were delicious. She was amazing to communicate with made everything an easy process. She had so many amenities we wanted for nothing. She was so friendly and eager to make our stay the most it could be. I would highly recommend this home for anyone. I would definitely stay here again.

Louisville and the bourbon trail
What a fabulous property! We spent four days here using it to tour Louisville and the Bourbon Trail. It could not have been more perfect giving us quick and easy access to all the touring we wanted to do but also allowing us to enjoy a peaceful neighborhood atmosphere to relax and unwind in between. The house was immaculate and comfortable. The back deck was a bonus providing a peaceful outdoor extension of the living space. It was a great way to enjoy the beautiful Autumn weather. The kitchen was well stocked, and the beds and bedrooms were very comfortable. We were two couples sharing the space and had ample space, comfort, and privacy. We would highly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Elisabeth (Béa) Thompson

Host profile image
Welcome to Southern Hospitality with a European Flair.

I was born in Holland and grew up in Utah, got married and moved to Cody, WY and then moved for the last time to Jeffersontown, a beautiful, historic town.

I've lived in Jeffersontown/Louisville for over eight years and before that, have visited two to three times a year and couldn't resist moving here. I know you'll love it here, too.

Come and enjoy the comforts of home away from home while you are on vacation or a business trip.

Why they chose this property

I moved from Wyoming to Louisville and for a couple of years had lived in a rental house that had trees but also the glaring lights from the baseball field nearly every single night when I wanted to just sit outside and enjoy the stars. When I found this property for sale, I latched on to it for its beautiful, quiet woodsy setting full of trees, lawn and surrounded by birds during the day and stars and moon at night. We live in a quiet "No Through" street, at the end of the block where you hear nothing but the birds during the day, see lightening bugs in the woods, stars in the sky and an occasional airplane flying lazily by, tree frogs and crickets singing their mating calls at night.
I used to live in the mountains where you could hear only the stream trickling by, birds singing and at night sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine while basking in the warmth of the evening with the stars and moon overhead.
This property is perfect for sharing with you the beauty of all that I've described above for you.

What makes this property unique

This is a spacious four bedroom house with the full use of all the amenities you could ask for. Eat your breakfast or have a small gathering for dinner and refreshments on the deck. Use the large gas grill and or keep your food warm on the warming plate on the side. Cook a full course meal in the kitchen, do your laundry in the large front load machines. Laundry detergent and softener sheets are provided. Enjoy a relaxing evening out on the deck with a glass of wine and look at the stars while the lightening bugs dance around the trees in the woods. Take a walk downtown in our quiet little town in the historic Gaslight district and let us shuttle you to the events downtown Louisville or take in a movie at nearby theaters, bowling, golf and game areas.

If you travel on a regular basis and don't want the usual cold hotel room, need a place that's private and/or need to entertain business partners sometime during your stay, this is the place, or need to have extended stay and don't want to pay a higher fee, contact me in advance and schedule your stays, the price is reduced for extended stays.
