The house is very nice and quite comfortable. The only issue that we had was that the front steps were slick from snow and ice after a storm. That made them a bit dangerous, especially because there was no handrail by the lower steps.

Beautiful house in convenient location. Excellent overall.

We are traveling with another couple and spent 3 nights in Louisville at this gem. Very well appointed, clean and exactly as advertised. Very roomy and comfortable home-away-from-home. Very easy setup and communications and parking our rental car out front was never a problem at all. Communication with the owner was prompt, even when we did something stupid and needed some assistance.

Another great stay in Louisville

This was our second stay at this VRBO. Spent lots of time grilling and sitting in the backyard. When we ran out of gas in the grill, Karen promptly had tank replaced. Thank you! Walked three blocks to Paristown for live outdoor, free music twice. Local art fair also happening. Look forward to spending time again in this VRBO. FYI, Steps required to enter VRBO.

Can’t wait to go back to Louisville

Karen & Ken’s place was positively perfect! We had such a great time exploring Louisville for 4 days and were so happy going ‘home’ to such a comfy place each night. We cooked breakfast in the well equipped kitchen one morning - that was a lil bonus! Hopefully next time we visit it will be a bit warmer as we didn’t get to take advantage of the great backyard!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Sumner

Host profile image
My husband and I have lived in this neighborhood since 1997. I was born in Louisville and my husband grew up in California. I am a retired nurse now realtor and my husband is a general contractor and has been doing home renovations since 2007.
We both graduated from the University of Louisville. We started our home sharing adventure in May of 2017 and have absolutely loved meeting people from all over the country. We would love to host people from other countries too. Everyone we have met has been so considerate and come visit for a variety of reasons from KY Derby to sporting events to just wanting to meet up with old friends. Let us know why you are coming to visit and we will try to accommodate and enhance your stay.
Peace and Love,
The Sumners
