***Reviews*** Here is what some of our guest are saying about this home:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Reanna - May
"If this house is available then look NO FURTHER and snag it while you can! Tony and Christine are BEYOND super hosts and this rental was the best experience I’ve had in all my years of short tern rentals.
HOUSE - such a charming old house with character and the original floors and look with all the modern touches. Kitchens well appointed and great to cook in. Beautifully decorated and a wonderful mix of old charm with upgrades. Beds are super comfortable and linens were nice. Gorgeous fenced in yard that was huge and great for dogs! House layout affords a lot of privacy if traveling in groups or couples.
Neighborhood - LOVE LOVE LOVE - really safe and walkable. Great coffee and breakfast places close by and lots of dinner options and bars too. We got up every morning and walked and were OBSESSED with the neighborhood. All of the neighbors are super friendly. Go out and explore, you will love it too!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Nick – 9/23
"The host was over the top accommodating and would have bent over backwards for us on anything! This place is worth the stay in bourbon country and has old Louisville charm. The backyard is very private and great for yard games. Book this stay!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Kyle – 6/23
"The house was amazing. Location and amenities were perfect for our group. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Louisville!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Gerry – 5/23
"This is a great location for Louisville- close to airport, downtown, Cherokee Park, Bardstown Rd, Churchill Downs, Old Louisville, Bourbon trail. We had a large group and the accommodations were perfect! Beds comfortable! Bathrooms and Kitchens updated and beautiful. Anthony was incredibly responsive. Best thing was access to Bardstown Rd and Cherokee Park for exploring and unwinding. Highly recommended"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Justyn – 5/23
"Great host! My team and I enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend to others. We were here for business for the Kentucky Derby and was conveniently located. The house is spacious and has cool unique vibe to it.
Thank you again!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Joly - 5/22
"What a fun place to stay, you can rent the entire home, (and upper and lower unit or just one.) I had a couple of family members stay for a few nights while I rented this house for two weeks. It was super clean, very comfortable beds, seriously comfortable. It's charming too. It's a hop skip and a jump from Bardstown Road if you want a little more action.

But best of all is Anthony the host. He was johnny on the spot if I needed anything which was not much. He truly made my stay easier and more relaxing. I hope to return."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Kevin T – 6/22
"We rented the entire house for 10 days! Grandparents located on the first floor, parents on the second and grandchildren/3 children ages 13, 16 & 18 on the third floor. Was a great arraignment regarding space for all ages. Kitchens were gas and very nice to use and clean. 2nd floor kitchen was extra nice with Italian range, hood and dishwasher (super quiet). Color palette in house was well done. Bathrooms were upgraded and had great showers. Our experience with Tony was very good and responsive, we truly enjoyed our time there and in a great area to walk to a gray coffee shop on the corner and restaurants in the area."

Perfect space!
My friends and I had a long weekend and stayed here. We absolutely loved this place! There are two kitchens if you get the whole house and each of the rooms were well decorated. The entire house was also very clean! We were able to use the backyard also and it was so nice having multiple parking spots. We were about 15 min from all of our activities and walking around the neighborhood was absolutely beautiful! There are parks nearby that a couple of the ladies went running around. All in all I would come back! Christine and Tony were extremely responsive and also provided recommendations in the app and also via text. Really appreciated them as our hosts!

amazing hosts and amazing location
We rented this property for a group birthday bourbon trail long weekend in KY. It was the perfect location for a diverse group of people. Local shops, bars, and restaurants in walking distance, and a short drive to all the other popular Louisville locations ample parking was a great bonus given the size of our group

New Year's Eve Getaway
Getting into the house was a piece of cake, and the private parking couldn't was so nice. Communication from the host was excellent. The place felt like a cozy home away from home, and it was spotlessly clean. We loved having all the kitchen essentials at our fingertips, which made whipping up meals a cinch. The best surprise was the backyard with its awesome fire pit – we loved spending evenings by the fire. And let's talk about location! We could stroll to all those cool shops, restaurants, and bars nearby was a major win. We had a blast exploring the local scene without having to worry about parking or calling a cab. This spot's got it all!

Hi! We're the Rossini family & VRBO Preferred Host. We love being hosts and helping our guests make lasting memories! We have 3 children ages 4, 18, and 21. We really enjoy buying properties and making improvements that our guests will enjoy. We're open to recommendations and take all feedback very seriously. If you have an idea of something you think would make your stay better, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

Why they chose this property

We originally bought this property as a traditional investment property. The previous owner used it for Short Term rentals, and we quickly fell in love with being hosts, and creating spaces that make our guests feel like they're at home. After purchasing this short-term rental, we quickly purchased a few more and this venture has changed our life as we look for this become a full-time career.

What makes this property unique

This house is unique because of its ideal location in the Highlands and proximity to Bardstown Road. It also offers flexibility as a larger space for bigger families who would like to rent the entire home and have 6 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 2 full kitchens, and an amazing back yard.
