Charming little house
The property is old and a little creaky, but everything is clean and in good repair. It was cold and we never had a problems with temperature and never ran out of hot water. It’s tucked back into a quiet corner of a residential neighborhood and we never had any issues. Quiet but close to everything. The host was excellent and the restaurant recommendations were spot on. Would stay again. Only complaint is that the AC unit in the back bedroom isn’t exactly quiet.

We had a wonderful stay in Louisville at your beautiful home. It was exactly as listed and more. Everything was clean and the house was so welcoming. Perfect location to everything and only 5 minutes from where we were playing volleyball. I would highly recommend staying at this property and we plan to stay here next year for volleyball.

National Farm Machinery Show
It was a safe and quiet neighborhood only a short drive to the fair grounds without having to get onto the busy interstate. Clean home, comfortable beds. Airport is near, but the planes flying over didn't bother us too much. We would definitely stay again.

Friend’s mini vacation
The house was cute. It was very old, small, but was mostly updated with modern amenities. We are senior citizens, and this home is definitely for a younger crowd. The only bad part was the airplanes on Thursday, starting at about 3:30 a.m.and continuing until about 7:30 a.m. arriving and departing. Sounded like the runway was right next to us.

Over all good
The house has an older feel but overall welcoming and kid friendly. We had packed steaks as the listing stated the house had a grill on the deck. The grill wasn’t there when we arrived so we were disappointed about that but ended up having a delicious meal at a close by restaurant. We’d stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Miranda Jenkins

Host profile image
I'm Josh!

I'm married to Amanda and we have two kids - a daughter named Caroline and a son named Wells.

On any given Saturday you can find us at the Louisville Zoo, hosting friends and eating good food, or taking walks in some of Louisville's historic parks.

I'm definitely a reader, I'm trying to get into fly fishing, and I'd choose bourbon over beer (or both).

Why they chose this property

The property is in a safe and quiet neighborhood with a beautiful park just a walk away. It's the perfect place to stay if you are traveling with a kid!

What makes this property unique

We tried really hard to make this a place both adults and kids would love. Our kids' room has a chalkboard, books, and games. We also have a great back yard to run around in. A big-screen TV with Disney+ will also keep the little ones occupied!
