Very clean!

The house is clean and well stocked. We were a little disappointed that there was not a place indoors to eat, but that is minor. The property is located close to downtown and Churchill e.

Louisville on Main Street

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.

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!

Louisville Gem

The property was very clean and is located in an up-and-coming area. It was close to the airport, which was key when our friends flight was delayed, and they arrived very early the next morning. We used the outside area to grill one evening, and the living room was perfect for our small group to hang out in at night. It was also close to everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice Spot

This is a nice house for one or two couples or a small family. The check in process is very easy and the owner is very attentive of you need anything. It is really Merriweather neighbor not German town but very close to everything. Great that they allowed dogs!

Great for friends weekend

Clean, updated, plenty of space to hang out with friends. Would be great for pets. We would stay again! If you are used to eclectic urban communities, you will find some wonderful hidden gems in the area. However, if you prefer a more traditional suburban setting, this may not be the place for your group.

Review of stay

The bedrooms, bathroom, and kitchen were pretty clean, however the porch could use a bit of cleaning. There was a good selection of kitchen items. It would have been great to have something to clean the grill off with though, so that we could use it. There was a good supply of bedding and towels, except the towels smelled smoky. We would have liked to wash them, but there was no laundry detergent to do so with, so we just made do. A few lightbulbs could be replaced that are out.
