The best Derby experience!

The house was perfect for our Derby girls trip. The screened porch was amazing, the beds were clean and comfortable, and the neighborhood was lovely. The hosts were wonderful to work with and communication was frequent and helpful. They thought of everything! I would highly recommend!

House was as advertised! The host went well beyond expectations. It is literally the perfect home for the Kentucky derby or just a bourbon trail getaway. Nice neighborhood, very, clean, and convenient to everything you could want. I highly recommend this property. Brian W.

This property was "hands down" awesome

The neighborhood was beautiful, quiet and easy to get to. The house was amazing, but the best part of the stay was the awesome 3 season porch, which is where we spent all of our "off" hours from the track at. Owners were great to work with and responded quickly to a couple of questions we had during our stay. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. We will be thinking about coming back next year because of the wonderful experience we had this year. Diana Greeson

Enhance your Derby experience!

We stayed here for The Derby and could not have felt more welcome. We spent almost all of our time enjoying the screened in porch which had more than enough space for the six of us. The price was much better than we would have had to pay for 3 hotel rooms plus we had all that living space. Don’t pass this up for The Derby!

Perfect Derby Stay

I can't say enough wonderful things about this place. The owners are super sweet and communicated with me in advance to ensure that we had everything needed leading up to our visit. When we arrived we were greeted by a welcome gift basket full of KY-related goodies, and they left out fresh mint and sugar with directions on how to make our own mint juleps! So sweet and thoughtful. They had a guest folder with suggestions of what to do in the area which was also helpful. We had 6 adults in our party, and we all felt comfortable with the sleeping and bathing arrangements, not to mention the screened porch is phenomenal especially in the mornings sipping coffee and evenings sipping bourbon (hey, that's what you do in KY!). The house is conveniently located to fun neighborhoods in Louisville, and there's a wonderful park system within walking distance. Highly recommend Cherokee Seneca if you're visiting Derby....we had a very pleasant experience here.
