Just what we needed. Easy access and a good location. The heater was kinda loud but it definitely kept it warm in the cold weather. This would be a great place for a family or girls trip because the little town was cute and you can walk to a restaurant/bar and a cute coffee shop which were both really good. Also, within a 30 minute drive each we saw the Lights Under Louisville and the Bernjeim Forest and they were both beautiful

Great place

This is basically a shed… But it has a nice family room area, the kitchen area, a bathroom, and a bedroom area with three double beds… It’s very budget friendly and have everything we needed.

Great rental. Location is safe and secure. Central Mt.Washington and walkable to downtown and restaurants. Farmer market on the weekends was 2 blocks away and great. Awesome hosts and fast communication. Cant get much better for a Vrbo rental. Open floor plan wokred for me as a solo traveler. 30 days mid/late summer stay.

Perfect for a large group

This was our 2nd time staying at this property while spending a couple days at Kentucky Kingdom. Very clean, responsive owners, lots of space, and the young adults and kids loved the pool table and basketball goal. It is one large open space with a small bathroom (shower is very small) but perfect for spending time together and a very affordable place to stay when you have a large family. We will be back next year!

It’s alright

The listing said it would sleep 16, but we had trouble sleeping 6 comfortably. We had some ladies drop from our trip last minute which was good or we would have had to get hotel rooms.

It's not perfect, but a very affordable place to crash

If you're looking for a good enough, very inexpensive place for a lot of people to crash, this house is perfect. It's basically a giant room with 3 queen sized beds, 2 smaller couches, and a lot of space to put up air mattresses. It's got a bathroom with a decent shower, a kitchenette with a full-sized fridge and sink, and plenty of space. The place has some quirks and is a little rough around the edges, but it's got everything you need for a short stay. Is it the nicest or most luxurious place? No. Is it one of the best bargains you'll find on VRBO? Yes!

Basic needs at a fair price

Convenient location and dog friendly. Nice host who was very responsive. Some basic items are there. Bring forks, charcoal, grill brush and paper towels. Might ask if grill still works. The listing advertises games which is why we rented it for our teens but the games were not there or broken. The shower is tiny and not for average or large people. Shower curtain isn’t secure, constantly falling. Covered parking a plus.
