Excellent host! Great communication and accommodation when our situation changed. They own a few properties around Louisville and because of the service I would definitely book one of their spots again.

Wonderful House and Location

Everything was great. The house was wonderful and clean, and also in a terrific location. Communication before, during, and after check-in/check-out was excellent. I will definitely stay here again when I return to Louisville.

Fun quick getaway

Our stay was pleasant! Everything was accurate as described. We drove every where per our preference but everything was very close in proximity. We tried a few of the food recommendations listed and they did not disappoint, could only assume that none would. It was a great stay, we would stay here again!

Clean, great location

The Julep was great for what we needed. We were down for basketball and didn’t hang out in the house much, but it was clean, simple, had enough room for all of us, and was centrally located. Super cute. A lot to do around the area.

Expectations Exceeded!!

This house exceeded expectations. Loved the perfect balance of minimalism while having everything necessary for our stay. Cleanest floors I’ve ever seen in a vacation rental. On-street parking was never an issue as there was always plenty to be had. House is located in an up and coming area with a nice brewery just down the street. Restaurants are within a short distance and if it hadn’t been so hot, we could have easily walked. Bats Baseball Stadium is nearby and we recommend going to a game. Louisville Slugger museum is pretty cool too. If you have a little dog, just be aware that there are smallish gaps in the fence out back. 10/10 would recommend.

KY Roadtrip - 4 adults - 4 kids - 2 dogs

Check in was ok. They requested that we let them know when we would be there. Did that. However, the code to the door would not work. Called the hosts, they fixed the problem ASAP. - Great communication with them. The house itself is very nice. Plenty of room for all of us to stretch out. The only tiny complaint was with kitchen. Everything in this house is geared towards grown-ups and drinking. Everything is glass, so we were walking on eggshells hoping the kids wouldn't drop anything. No mixing bowls or baking pans. We cook a lot. The fenced in back yard was the selling point for us and we were disappointed. There is a mulberry tree that covers the area and had dropped fruit everywhere. The porch had not been swept off or cleaned for what looked like a while so the fruit was squished and sticky all over, which tracked in the house. The outside furniture was nasty. The cushions had black mold all over them and were unusable. Kids weren't able to use the backyard and the dogs didn't want to either. Aside from the outside and the lack of pans/bowls, we were comfortable.

Great spot to experience Lousiville

Quick boys trip to experience downtown Louisville. Perfect spot to jump around - convenient parking right out front. Short walk to bars / restaurants, scooters a block away for farther destinations (all of downtown Louisville). Highly recommend as a place to put your foot up after a long day - and hop right back into it the next day.

Perfect location!

My husband and I came up from Texas for Bourbon, of course!! This location in Nulu was perfect for our day trips to the distilleries in Bardstown and Frankfurt. We walked to several breweries, restaurants and bars that were only a few blocks away. We highly recommend Emmy Squared for pizza…SO GOOD! The cute little home is decorated perfectly, the beds were comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed for our morning coffee and evening wine. Although, I would imagine if you had several couples, the one bathroom might be an issue. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would be thrilled to go back next time!
