About this property

2 Houses Side by Side | Sleeps 33 | Basement Game Room | Walkable Germantown

Two houses, one backyard, one big group. The Big Bourbon House is Bourbon House 2 and Bourbon House 3, side by side in Germantown and rented together as a single stay. The rear patios connect, so your crew gets two kitchens, two living rooms, nine bedrooms and one shared outdoor space to spread out in and come back together.

Late night, head downstairs at Bourbon House 2 and the whole level glows: a blacklight putt putt course, karaoke machine, bumper pool, foosball and a speakeasy-style lounge to pour a bourbon and settle in. Next door at Bourbon House 3, the open-concept main floor with a 70" TV, big sectional and vaulted ceilings is where everyone lands for game day or a movie night.

Both homes were built out for groups: fully stocked kitchens with stainless appliances, Sealy Hybrid mattresses and a Smart TV in every bedroom, full-size laundry in each house, and linens, towels, toiletries, coffee and laundry supplies all provided. Out back, two patios run together with two grills, two fire tables, string lights and seating for the whole crowd, plus a private lot with off-street parking for 7 cars, rare for this neighborhood.

You're a short walk from Germantown's bars, micro-breweries, restaurants and coffee shops, one block from live music, 5 minutes from downtown and 15 from Churchill Downs.

Sleeps 28 in beds, 33 total across both homes.

Clean and spacious

Nothing but good things to say. The airport was busy and we heard planes throughout the day and night, however, a few bourbons and you're gonna sleep right through it. Outdoor area was larger than expected and all had a comfy bed and clean bathroom. It was great for our group of 9 men.

About the host

Hosted by Bourbon Trail Rentals

Host profile image
Most of what we do is details. Codes that work, sheets that are right, somebody answering when you text on a Friday night.

What makes it worth doing is who shows up. Family reunions. Wedding parties. The same four guys every Derby. Groups big enough that finding one house for all of them is the hardest part of planning the trip, which is most of what our places are built for.

We're in Louisville, so ask us things. Which distillery is worth the drive, which restaurant needs booking two weeks out, whether the traffic is real. That's the part you don't get renting from someone three states away.

People book our places for a reason: a reunion, a wedding, Derby week, a bourbon trip. We'd rather you spend that time on the reason than on us.

Why they chose this property

One booking, two houses, no splitting the group across town. Everyone gets their own bed, two kitchens keep the cooks out of each other's way, and the connecting patios and basement game room mean nobody has to leave to have a good night.
