Very Comfortable

Property was very clean and the interior motif was excellent for the Bourbon Area. Would have been nice to have 2 beds in one of the rooms, even though the description said sleeps 6 it was a tough fit for 4 adult men. Still rate it as a overall 4-5 plan on going back next year for our golf outing.

Comfortable and Peaceful

We stayed for 2 nights to attend an event in Louisville. The house was only a 20 minute drive from the venue and reasonably priced to meet our needs. The house is small and cozy with the expected Bourbon decor. The queen beds were tough memory foam and the master bedroom bed shifted each time someone rolled over, making it difficult to get a good night sleep. One room is set up for children with games and bright colors. The only reason we gave a 4/5 for cleanliness was due to the floor having what seemed like yard clippings or dirt and cobwebs. The patio items outside were blown over but it was too cold for us to spend time there anyway. Overall I would stay there again due to the convenience Of location and price but would be better prepared to make the beds more comfortable.

Louisville Visit

Didn’t stay here long, but the house was clean and as the pictures depicted. There were snacks, a couple water bottles, coffee, and a few other general items that the host provided which was nice. Typically don’t see hosts leaving snacks so I was very happy when I saw this after my long drive. Would stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay at this home while visiting family nearby. We had everything we needed, and didn't have to contact the host once. Instructions were clear, and home was well stocked. Our son especially enjoyed the "game room!"

Couples Getaway

The house was cute, clean, easy check-in, snacks and cold bottles of water were left. There were some spices, ketchup, mustard, bbq sauce, coffee pods and creamer. We were there for four nights (couple). Neighborhood seemed to be safe and quiet (except the trains). The master bed is very loud and creaky, and you roll to the center, not comfortable. We were going to move to the spare room, but after sitting on it, felt it was going to be the same as the Master room. The check in was easy. About 30-40 minutes to Kentucky Derby (Churchill Downs), Little Slugger and Muhammad Ali museums, parking to walk the Big Four Bridge and the drive to Bardstown.
