Overview
7 Bedroom, 6.5 Bathrooms, 5-Acre Estate, Minutes to Downtown
Stonecote is a 5-acre estate built in 1920. It is fully updated and professionally decorated. It has 7 bedrooms (each with a television), and sleeps 18 in beds (including 2 pull-out sofa beds). Room configurations include: 3 master suites each with private baths in the main house, and another master suite w/bath, living area and kitchen in the pool house. The main house features a gourmet kitchen with butler's pantry featuring 2 built in refrigerators, 2 wall ovens, 2 warming drawers, 3 dishwashers, an ice-maker, a 6 burner Viking gas cook top, wine cooler and Carrera marble counters. The living room features multiple, comfortable, conversation areas, an antique baby grand piano and wood-burning fireplace. The large dining room can seat up to 20. Also, the large sun room offers additional, less formal gathering space, and has a 52" TV.
The 50' x 25' heated, saltwater pool has shooting fountains, is surrounded by mature perennial gardens and has a baby pool (pool is open seasonally, mid-May to late-September, depending on weather).
The stable has 5 stalls and a tack room and we can refer you to have feed and hay delivered before you arrive, if you are traveling with horses. Stonecote is surrounded by beautiful, mature trees and perennial gardens, yet is five minutes to downtown, the waterfront, 10 minutes to Churchill Downs, 20 minutes to Valhalla and the PGA tour. We also have an on-site caretaker who lives in a carriage house on the property.
Please note that the rate for the Kentucky Derby is a flat fee of $25,000 from the Monday prior to the Derby to the following Monday. Please send an inquiry if interested in the rental of Stonecote for the week of the Derby.
Please also note that due to requirements by the city of Louisville, we are unable to host events.
This VRBO partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.
About Amy Eirich
We moved to Louisville from the east coast and love this city for its sophisticated living with a healthy helping of southern hospitality!

Why Amy Eirich chose Cherokee Seneca
We fell in love with Stonecote because it offers the best of everything! It is a rare find: a 5-acre equestrian estate in the heart of Louisville! The setting at Stonecote (built circa 1920) is a private, country retreat. The 50 x 25 ft heated pool (open seasonally - mid-May to mid-September) with shooting fountains is a great place for kids to play and the adults to relax on spring and summer evenings. Stonecote feels like a secluded, private park and is a perfect setting for many different occasions. The historic, hometown feel of Louisville makes it a great place to visit…any time of the year.
What makes this estate unique
Stonecote has great flow for entertaining and a large, chef's kitchen. There are plenty of room to gather, as well as ample areas to 'get away'.

Perfection Near Cherokee Park
We’ve just returned from a perfect family reunion site in Louisville where we filled all 7 bedrooms with 3 generations that included siblings, kids and grandkids. The swimming pool was a big hit, with its diving board for older kids and wading pool area for the youngest. Two kids learned to dive while there! The huge, well-appointed kitchen worked well for assembling, organizing, storing and cooking copious amounts of food and drink. Beds and bedrooms were comfortable.
Other highlights include the short walk to Cherokee Park, a Louisville treasure; the central location; Pete, the on-site caretaker; Amy, the owner who so graciously answered all our questions; the huge lawn, perfect for frisbee and bocce.
Best VRBO for all ages !
What a perfect home for our yearly family vacation. The house was perfect for our family of 10 adults and 5 children ages 10 months to 6 years. The house was even more beautiful and spacious than the pictures show. It had old Louisville and Kentucky history and beautiful architectural. The home owners have done a great job bringing comfortable modern touches to the home and yet not loosing the beautiful history of the home. the home is even more spacious and beautiful than the pictures show. There was enough beds and then some for each family member to have their own bed with comfortable bedding. Each family also had their own private bathroom. The kitchen is huge and made preparing large meals a snap. The house is centrally located so it is easy access to activities. We also enjoyed being within walking distance to both Seneka ans Cherokee park. The pool was the best part and was enjoyed by all. It is better than most 5 star hotels. The adults enjoyed the deep end while the small children had fun in the wading pool. there is also plenty of comfortable seating to just hang out and talk or enjoy a meal or drink in the shade. Amy and her staff have amazing customer service and hospitality that made this VRBO stand out. We were welcomed by Amy with a Kentucky Derby Cake that was delicious !! I highly recommend this VRBO . It is the perfect home for many different occasions ,but it was perfect for our family trip.
Beautiful Historic estate!
The house was beautiful!! The people were very helpful and friendly. We stayed for a family vacation, and we loved the character of the place!
Wonderful property
Been here a few years ago. Great property, beautiful home, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Annual Family Vacation in Louisville, KY
We truly enjoyed our time at this beautiful, clean, spacious home full of character and charm. Great location in a safe neighborhood with large park within walking distance. The weather rained off and on but we never felt crowded in the house and when it cleared up we enjoyed volleyball, corn hole and games in the front yard and swimming and water balloons in the backyard. The pool has the best of both side: a nice shallow end that the little kids could play or a deeper end that the older kids and adults enjoyed. Many hours were spent on the front porch rocking chairs visiting and watching the kids play. We biked, hiked and walked on the trails and road through Cherokee park. Owner was very friendly and easy to work with and promptly met us for check in. Manager was also friendly and immediately offered help when we had questions. Was surprised how open and spacious the house was for being built in the 1920's! We had a comfortable stay and appreciated the fully stocked kitchen and linens. We would highly recommend this property.
Perfect Venue for family
Stonecote Estate is a wonderful, perfect venue for family. I planned a retirement party for my husband in Louisville and needed room for our family from 8 states to gather. This house is large and accommodating. It has a huge kitchen and several large areas to congregate. The owner and staff were quick to respond to any questions or concerns.
Map
