Interaction with Guests
We are semi locals (we have a groundskeeper on call that lives near by). We would love to advise you on how to really enjoy this town!
The Neighborhood
Vela’s Villa, Main house is part of a private little neighborhood within a neighborhood–a group of four houses sharing the same lot, located a block away from historic Harlan, Kentucky’s downtown. Nestled in a valley in the ancient and enchanted Appalachian Mountains. Great walking community!!
Getting around
You can walk to a few local restaurants, the river and parks! This house is great because you are in a very rural area, but you are within two blocks of historical downtown Harlan. So you get the quaint town experience with out being isolated.
Other Things to Note
Make sure you BYOB because this town is Moist (semi dry (although alcohol is legal to have and consume alcohol within your private dwelling)). Two restaurant currently serve alcohol The Portal (pizzeria) and Ken & Paul's Family Steakhouse. Moist defined: with regard to the sale of alcohol, Harlan is classified as a moist county—a county in which alcohol sales are prohibited (a dry county), but containing a 'wet' city, in this case Cumberland and Lynch, where package alcohol sales are allowed. In the city of Harlan, restaurants seating 100+ may serve alcoholic beverages.

About the host

Host profile image
I love people and have hosted people from S.Korea to Australia and I love them all! I am a artist, mother of three adult daughters and foodie! I credit my daughters for introducing me to vegan food, Korean food, wine and an artist social life. My go to foods have always been steaks, BBQ and breakfast (I have tons of recommendations)! My guilty pleasures are watching Korean Dramas, Anime, Walking Dead, Bold & The Beautiful, and Scandal. Oh and I'm forever redesigning my properties!
I'm a person that loves to put my best foot forward and my vacation properties in Louisville & Harlan, KY are no exception. I (and family) take pride in our properties and we are responsive to our guests needs in intuitive ways. Since we are avid vacationers ourselves, we know what it takes to make every vacation a holiday. In a small town like Harlan we love to make you feel safe and welcome! I assure you that there is no other property that can compare to my four Harlan guesthouses.
As my grandmother would say “Good better best never let it rest until your good is better and your better is the best!”
All of our properties (in Louisville & Harlan Ky.) are fully furnished and have all the amenities of home!
