This rental was everything we hoped for and more! Clean and very well stocked with lots of extra items (coffee filters, seasonings, towels, and firewood)
Home was in great condition. Small touches like coffee, tea, and snacks. The pictures do not fully capture how nice the decor has been thoughtfully put together.
This was an amazing property, they had great attention to detail, lots of things to do, games, mini arcade, ping pong, fire pit ect. Also came stockes with some firewood, snacks water and coffee. Great place and a great stay! If I could give 6 stars I would.
This property was very clean, quiet and had everything we needed. The children loved the game machines. Beautiful home. I highly recommend this property.
The kitchen was very clean and well stocked. The entire house was clean and made me feel safe.They overshared info (a good thing) and made it very easy to access and check out. This property and process are both well managed.
We had so much fun at our stay! The house was nicely decorated, very clean and organized. Our group spent most of our time hanging out in the garage which was great! Perfect location for the distilleries we visited. I would definitely recommend this home.
We were pleasantly impressed with the home, amenities, and location
The property manager was easy to work with and was even able to provide additional accommodations for the infant traveling with us.
I highly recommend this property

Very glad that you all enjoyed your stay here:) Hope to see you all again next time y'all in town !
Loved staying in the house. It was well stocked with everything a person needs. It was very clean and in a good location. Host was easy to communicate with. Would return next time in the area. We plan on coming back next year.
Great house and location. Myself and my husband along with my siblings with their spouses have been picking a destination to have a family weekend getaway. Louisville was our pick this year and it was a great pick.
The house itself was amazing, and everything in it was amazing too. We loved it. The only problem we had was getting to the house with it being so far back in behind the other house it makes it hard to and the main street is horrible we almost got hit from behind twice because trying to pull into the driveway.

Glad you all enjoyed the beautiful home and appreciate the feedback.
Stayed here with family. We had a great time! A car is definitely needed, but the house is located close to shopping, restaurants and Louisville attractions. My family and I appreciated all the games in the garage, if you get back from an excursion and still want to play it’s great! We had a mix of weather from snow, thunderstorms and sunny days. The host is readily available for any questions and there is a coffee bar with everything you’ll need and snacks. I had a hard time finding anything missing. I usually bring a night light for the bathroom with me because my eyes are sensitive to sudden bright lights, so that’s all I was missing but not normally provided, so everything was wonderful. Highly recommend for your stay in Louisville. Jeannie S.
The house was clean and looked wonderful. Exactly as pictures and described. Backyard was a great space and the game area was great. TV was great and so were the bathrooms. Wasn’t loud where we were. Driveway worked but it was a little tight when going to back around and turn to go out and was to busy a road to back out onto. That would be my only thing that wasn’t perfect. Host was wonderful and easy to communicate with. We would stay here again.
We had a fabulous time staying at Derby City Retreat! The house is brand new and kept so clean. Little details that make a big difference like leaving wood for us to use in the fire pit and travel size shampoo etc are such nice touches and very appreciated. We had the most fun in the game room playing numerous ping ping games and video games. Thank you for allowing us to stay here. Super clean and very easy to communicate with the owner!
