Amazing place with everything as indicated on the listing. Great neighborhood with a small park and a brewery and brandy bar in walking distance. We loved the proximity to everything. It’s incredibly huge so we never got in each other’s way. We had a great time there.

Terrific Stay

The Guesthouse is an amazing place…better than the pictures you see. Everyone’s jaw dropped when we walked in and explored the house. More than enough room for 20 people. Plenty of beds and bathrooms. Highly recommend. Will definitely use again when I’m the Louisville area.

Guesthouse Getaway

The Guesthouse on Story was a great location to getaway for a bachelor party weekend in Louisville. It had ample space for our group of 15 friends. The location in relation to our activities was very walkable or just a short Uber drive away. The property itself was clean and had everything we needed. The check in and check out process was easy and communication with the host was simple and reliable. I would highly consider staying at the Guesthouse in the future and would recommend it to others as well.

Location, Location, Location!

Fantastic location with walking access and short Uber rides to so many fun places. Churchill Downs, Louisville Slugger, Prohibition Craft, Peerless, Michter’s, The Garage, Sergio’s and the list goes on! The house was a fantastic and fun space for 14 of us to prepare breakfast and dinner while we hung out and spun vinyl. The owners were super helpful, responsive and had so many recommendations shared at the house that we need to come back and visit more of Louisville!

Wedding Weekend

Great vibe! Space for everyone. In town the celebrate our nephew's wedding and his mother's 60th birthday. Would have liked the record players to be working better because our kids have a retro streak in them but we always had something things to do. Love that there were restaurants within walk distance.

Guesthouse on Story

The house is an old, but nice multi- story home that fit our large group wonderfully. The decorations were great and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. Unfortunately, we stayed in December and the weather was very cold. The house was generally cold and two of the bedrooms without wall units were very cold. We made due, but if you are visiting in the winter be prepared.

What makes this property unique

It is "Big" and just perfect for larger groups staying together. Each room has its own bathroom attached. We want to share our love for music and Kentucky, we have themed rooms and various Crosley Record players in the common areas and all the bedrooms throughout the property. The location is ideal for being close to the urban distilleries, popular restaurants, shopping, bars, and tourist attractions.
