My buddies and I came to Louisville to golf for a couple of days. Your Home was warm and inviting. The remodeled kitchen and baths were "state of the art"! My crew was a little apprehensive of the neighborhood, but there were NO issues and it was completely unfounded. PS Communication was very good!

Guys Golf Trip
Great property for any visit to Louisville. 4 of us stayed for four days in August as part of a guys' golf trip to the region. The house was very comfortable and well decorated. Plenty of space for us 4 We were all impressed by the warm feel inside and the great outdoor sitting area in the backyard. It was very clear that the owners take great pride in making their guests feel welcome. That was also evident in the truly first class check-in instructions and great communication in general. If you're visiting Louisville, consider this property as your home base.

We were in Louisville for almost two weeks for a series of basketball tournaments at the nearby Expo Center. The house was perfect - beautifully decorated, clean, great location - felt like a home away from home. The owner was quickly responsive to questions and inquiries. We would stay here again anytime!

The Perfect stay in bourbon country.
Matt and Melissa were very informative and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay in Louisville. The property is absolutely amazing! A beautiful comfortable home with high end finishes worked into a historic building. The right mix of comfy and luxury. Very well situated in a nice quiet neighborhood, and a great launching point to explore the town. I couldn’t ask for more, and it will be our place to go whenever we visit the area.

We came to the Bourbon Trail to celebrate our son’s 21st bday. The owner was incredibly helpful with local entertainment and food. There were 8 of us. We had plenty of space. The kitchen was a gathering place and fully equipped for large meals. The location was close to all downtown distilleries and restaurants. We will be back!

Great Location and Gathering Places
The house is decorated so nicely with lots of areas to gather. The location is fantastic with it being only a couple of miles from all of the downtown distilleries, restaurants and shopping. The owner was also very responsive. My husband and I stayed with our grown children and we loved hanging out in the backyard to watch the fireflies. Highly recommend this house!

One of the best properties I’ve ever stayed at. Matt was communicative, had some great food/drink place recommendations, the instructions on check in and check out were clear and concise. We felt very welcome. The property was insanely gorgeous, decorated to perfection and was very comfortable for the 6 of us during our stay. We plan to rent it the next time we are in Louisville.

great host, great house
this is a beautifully renovated home convenient to town and the highways to surround areas. Super close to the airport. 4 old friends shared the space for four nights and we each at our own room there's plenty of space to unpack. 2 1/2 bath was just right for us...no bumping into each other, day or night. Very comfortable beds, ridiculously large, modern near – commercial quality kitchen. The two large sitting areas each have a TV and lots of comfortable seating. bedrooms all have TVs as well. Nice front porch for sitting and reading; big backyard with a fire pit, ample seating, and space. Last but not least, there's a reason Matt and Melissa are super host. Before, during and after our stay they were accommodating, and communication was nearly instantaneous. thanks for sharing!

Great House to Experience Louisville
My family and I loved staying at this property. Owners were super responsive and helpful. 7 of us came for a trip to experience Louisville, Churchill Downs, and all of the surrounding distilleries. Awesome location to do everything we wanted to do. The house itself is extremely clean, well-kept and has all the amenities you need. We ended up spending more time at the property than we expected because it was that comfortable. We hope to come back to this property in the future, and thanks to the owners for an amazing stay!

I cannot say enough good things about this house! The design, the location, the property owner’s hospitality…it has it all. We stayed here to visit Louisville for a few days and travel to the Ark Encounter for a day. Matt was more than helpful with questions about the surrounding area, restaurants, and things to do. If we ever make it to the Derby, this is where we will stay. Don’t hesitate to book!

Quick family trip to Bourbon Trail
This house worked great for my husband, our three grown children and me. The bedrooms were spacious, and there was plenty of room in the house to spread out. Kitchen very well equipped and nice appliances. Lots of special little touches, such as cut flowers around the house, fresh coffee and cookies for our arrival, nice products (e.g., toilet paper, toiletries). Nice backyard with fire pit, but we didn't use it. Everywhere we wanted to go was about 10 minutes away, so do need a car/transporation service. However, it was easy to get places and an Uber was never more than about 10 minutes away. Street parking was easy, and there is also a parking pad at the back of the lot we could have used. Very nice stay! Would highly recommend.

This home was soooo beautiful. My family agreed that we want to book this home every time we come to Louisville. It really looks just like the pictures but even better in person. This was spacious enough for everyone. We even utilized the air mattresses. The fire pit is nice I wish we would have done a bonfire.
