Enjoyed our stay
We absolutely loved our stay at the Artist Cottage. Great location and very clean but what we enjoyed the most was the decor and the back deck. The host are very helpful and easy to reach if you are in need of anything. The driveway is e a little bit of a hassle if you struggle walking up steep gravel. I do hope it won’t deter you from staying because even the driveway is even decorated with little heart shaped rocks along the walls. Every piece of this property is touched by love. Our daughter is moving to Louisville in August and we will be staying here again….many times.

Magical cottage
We stayed a few days on spring break in this magical cottage and wished we had booked a longer stay. This cottage was perfect for our young and creative family. There were books, art, and toys everywhere - even after a few days, we were finding new surprises that made us smile. This cottage forced us all to slow down. For the first time in years, we listened to CDs and watched DVDs, rather than streaming content. We all created art with the supplies left for guests to enjoy. We all loved the outdoor space and had one wonderful rainy evening in the covered area. The hosts were amazing - very responsive, helpful and kind. Their spirit infused the cottage. The cottage was in a great location that made it easy to explore Louisville. We had never been to Louisville and could have easily spent another week exploring shops and restaurants. We can't wait to come back.

Wonderful place full of character and charm with outdoor spaces that are a joy to spend time in (even when the weather is on the cool side). Location is also easily walkable to both Nulu and Bardstown road neighborhoods

Creative Sanctuary
This was perhaps the most unique VRBO we’ve ever stayed it. The space is dripping in organic and intentional art that begs you to linger a while and contribute a verse, so to speak. Loved the quiet neighborhood and easy accessibility to dining and entertainment - though just spending time in the cottage was blissful all on its own. Definitely recommend this spot for art appreciators looking for peace and inspiration!

We have stayed at the Artist Cottage several times, and we always love it! The cottage is filled with happiness and warmth, even during an arctic freeze!! The owners, Marjie and Dennis, are the best hosts! They even came over and shoveled the walk for us!

Unique property
We enjoyed all the artsy & whimsical touches. Private back porch. Close to whiskey row. Comfortable bed. The walk up the driveway would be difficult for elderly or someone with a disability. Not a problem for us. We very much enjoyed our get away.

Anniversary getaway
The cottage is exactly what we were looking for. Perfect for couples. The decor is unique and fun. The cottage is old but maintained very well. It is very clean and has a nice outdoor space. The host is very nice and easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay again the next time we visit the Louisville area. Great location, close to a variety of restaurants and bars.

Cute and Cozy
We enjoyed our stay! What a cute cottage, just enough space for 2 adults with space to be separate when needed. The outdoor spaces were wonderful, just wish the Louisville weather cooperated more for our visit. It was just so comfortable and cute. Loved all the art sprinkled all over the home, saw something new everyday! Would definitely go back!

Leaving Louisville
Short stay on our last weekend before leaving Kentucky. Had a billion things going on, worried about flights, bags, kiddo, move, but didn't have to worry about this rental. Wonderful place, we got another snow and we're stuck in the house most of the weekend. And what a great house to be stuck in! Great communication, exceptionally accomodatingand just the best vibes!

This Cottage awakes a youthfulness and amazement. Super cozy and suprb amenities both indoors and outside. To say the Hosts are Super is a major understatement. MarJie and Dennis bent over backwards to help us with anything needed from check in to check out. We had a blast. A must book cottage for couples.

We had the best time staying at this property. The Artist Cottage is even better than described online. They really thought of everything. Not only was it a great little getaway but it's in a beautiful area close to a lot of great bars, restaurants, and shops. The hosts were amazing and extremely communicative. I will absolutely be back!

nice stay in louisville
Very cute house, my kids loved the loft. There is no privacy as the loft is open to the bedroom and living room -- but it was perfect for us. The site is challenging - a little difficult to find and the driveway is very steep. Not for someone with mobility issues, but perfect for us.

Cozy, happy feeling cottage in a safe and quiet location
We stayed at The ArTisTs CoTTaGe during Christmas week to visit family. The cottage was very comfortable and pleasant, offering many different artistic views both inside and out. I wasn’t sure if new art had been placed outside overnight or if I just failed to notice it the previous day. It was such a pleasure to walk around and see something new every day. The owners were very prompt with responses to any questions that I may have had. I would definitely recommend this cottage.
