Our second stay in this home. We love it here. The location is fantastic, so many GREAT local restaurants within walking distance. Love having the yard too. We'll always look to stay here when we're in the area. It's exactly as pictured, and everything has gone smoothly each time we've stayed.

Great family home in a safe neighborhood

We had a great stay with our family of 4 and the dog. The fenced in yard was perfect for the kids and dog to play. The neighborhood felt safe to walk the dog. The host was very responsive. The only downside was there was no cable, local channels or movies on rainy days unless you have your own personal streaming service (which we don't). Overall, I would stay again.

Great Place

Really enjoyed our stay. It was very clean and comfortable. The backyard was great for our dogs. There’s a park nearby that is a great place to walk the dogs too. The neighborhood has lots to do but it’s also only 5 minted from distillers row. We will definitely stay here again!

Wonderful stay in Louisville

The house is very well appointed with nice size bedrooms and finishes. My husband and I were able to sit outside under the lights and just enjoy the evenings with our dogs running in the yard after long days at the Kentuckiana cluster show.

Had everything needed for a vacation from out of state. Happy to have a fenced backyard for the dogs! Could have used some airfresheners sine it was too hot to air the house out, smelled dusty. Was disappointed that we had to move a pile of brush from the parking area in order to utilize it.
