Amazing weekend in Louisville!

My husband and I stayed for the weekend, as we attended the Bourbon and Beyond Festival. The place was super clean and adorable. Great and quiet neighborhood. Stacy recommended plenty of local restaurants and they were all fantastic. I highly recommend staying here, if you are in the area.

Great stay in my old neighborhood!

Was great to travel to Louisville for my brother’s 70th birthday and stay in a lovely home right in the neighborhood where we grew up. The unit is lovely and hosts are onsite and very responsive, and it’s walking distance to restaurants and shops. We’ll be back!

Perfect for a couple

Stacey was great to work with, and provided input on great restaurants and things to do in the area. The carriage house was perfect for us, a central location for visiting Louisville Slugger museum and also Churchhill Downs. We enjoyed walking around in the neighborhood and also sitting out on the deck. It had everything that we needed, clean, and exactly as pictured.
