Perfect for us

We visited on a volleyball tournament and the location was perfect. Beds were a little hard and hot water ran out fairly quick for having 5 people but other than that was great!

I live in louisville and I don’t usually go to this part of louisville but this house was in a great location and very quiet neighborhood. It’s right beside church hill downs so would be perfect for Derby. We stayed to be closer to the UofL stadium and it was only a 8 min drive ! Highly recommend. Very clean and beautiful place !

Next to Churchill Downs

Although we didn’t spend a lot of time at the cottage, we had all that was needed. The 3 bedrooms gave us plenty of room to spread out. My daughters loved the upstairs area and claimed it upon arrival. The area was extremely quiet. We were across the street from Churchill Downs and could’ve easily walked to over.
