My Old Kentucky Home
Great place to stay- the apartment feels really new and is in a modern and clean building. The apartment itself is large, has a nice kitchen and nice layout (bedrooms are not connected). The area is beautiful and you are steps away from a wonderful walk/hike/run at the Falls of the Ohio state park. All amenities are there. The bathroom could’ve been a bit cleaner - I think this was a short oversight as the rest of the house was very clean and tidy.

1bdrm Apt 11min from Churchill Downs
very clean& in a very quiet area. love that it was directly across the bridge to get to many places quickly.

Welcome to Serena’s place! Spacious 2bd 2bath!
Serena's place was just as described. There is plenty of room and everything was nicely appointed. The location was great in that you are close to many restaurants and shopping. We will definitely be back when we are in the area. Thanks!

Downtown Jeffersonville riverfront apartment
Robert was a great host and very responsive and detailed with instructions. We had a question when we first got there and I had called and he immediately called me right back with all the information I was looking for and then some. We definitely recommend Robert’s place to stay. The river was a huge bonus for views.

Derby/ Bourbon Trail 4BR Pool Table Villa
We enjoyed our stay at Alan’s place. Once inside, it was well appointed, had a clean kitchen, enough space for a guys trip to not feel cramped. Being able to relax and watch basketball or play pool, watch tv or hang out was great after busy days hiking or visiting the bourbon trail. Maybe just one point of advice is to know that the location is near a highway, which meant some more street noise than I was used to. Thanks again Alan!

Most Unique Eclectic Stay w/ Hot Tub in Louisville
The house was perfect. 2 couples. Very comfortable. TVs everywhere! Beautiful, clean and cozy. We will come back again. Greg and Nicole were great hosts. Quick and efficient communication. Thank you!!!! Next time we can share a few bottles of wine 🙂

Waterside Luxury Retreat|Wraparound PorchFireTable
Liz and Joey’s home was amazing. It was beautiful, clean and well stocked. The perfect spot in Prospect. They communicated well before and during our stay. Would definitely stay there again.

Secluded cottage on farm.
Anna was a kind and responsive host. She was very friendly and took the time to notify us of some local opportunities before we even got there. The place itself was great! Clean and very homey with nice views of the river. I recommend it to anyone looking for some peace and quiet on their journeys.

House on Mansion Row in downtown New Albany!
Beautiful neighborhood. Walkable to downtown area with local shops and the water. House was totally worth the money and was a great experience and stay. No issues.

Exquisite Louisville Area, Derby, River Retreat
The views are amazing, the place is beautiful and very clean, and all the extra thoughtful accommodations that are provided are above and beyond anywhere we have stayed before. The instructions provided in advance were extremely helpful and therefore we didn't have to reach out to the host during our stay. The host is very friendly and proactive in communicating. If you are traveling to the Louisville area, I would highly recommend this as a place to stay. It truly felt like your home away from home.

Waterfront Golf Course Get-A-Way
everything was great. The manager of the property was super accommodating and so was the owner. House was perfect and peaceful.

Downtown Louisville - entire condo with a view!
The space was perfect for 9 of us to stay. Everyone had their own bed which was more than comfortable as well as an extremely accommodating living room space. The restaurants and night life were all very walkable from where we were at. Very happy we booked with Nathan!

"Cheers Town Centre Retreat" - Norton Commons
Absolutely amazing stay! Wonderful location, accommodations and hosts. The most well stocked of any place I’ve ever stayed. My husband and I had a wonderful weekend away. Perfect home base while exploring distilleries of Louisville. Felt like coming home when returning to Jodie & Doug’s place. Norton Commons is a sweet neighborhood with plenty to offer all on its own. Can’t wait to stay here again in the future.

Lou-City Penthouse Suite by Hollyhock Suites
Beautiful place to stay and within walking distance of the river and museums. Loved the little hidden bed, great use of space!

Main Street Farmhouse! City Retreat by Hollyhock
Perfect spot for our trip. sleeping accommodations were ideal, beds were comfy, house had everything we needed. Incredibly central, almost the entirety of downtown Louisville was within a 10-15 minute walk.

Downtown Louisville 2BR Condo with Amazing View
The location was perfect for a guys weekend. Walkable to multiple small batch distilleries and bourbon tasting rooms.

Spacious Riverfront Condo Minutes from Downtown!
I absolutely loved staying at this place! The hosts were incredibly kind and understanding, accommodating all our needs and travel plans. The space was well-stocked with everything we needed, including a generous supply of bottled water (we left some to pay it forward). The view was breathtaking, and they even let us check out a bit later to make packing up easier. My girls and I felt pretty safe and comfortable !! If I had one tiny note for a future upgrade lol (A larger TV in the Master bedroom since it’s so far from the bed that’s just a small thing we would have enjoyed better). We didn’t get a chance to swim but hopefully next time !!Thank you so much for an exceptional stay!

The Santuary- unique styled penthouse
We enjoyed our stay at Marshall’s place! He was very responsive. The apartment looked just like the photos. And we enjoyed walking around Jeffersonville. I would stay there again! It was the perfect place to stay for Derby weekend.

Luxury City Escape. Peaceful Retreat by Hollyhock
Perfect stay for our group of 10. The location is in the middle of downtown. Everything we did in Louisville was within walking distance. Inclusive of the Louisville Slugger Museum and numerous distilleries. Would highly recommend Amanda’s place to anyone considering a bourbon trail getaway!
