Family Gathering

We needed a home that would safely and comfortably house eight of us, ages 18 to 90, for a weekend together. This home did just that and was very clean! We will keep it at the top of our list for places to stay when we visit our daughter over the next four years!

Everything you need!

This cute little place checks ALL the boxes. The host is far and away the most responsive and thoughtful we have dealt with. The home was stocked with more than just the necessities and the location made it perfect for our Bourbon Trail experience. It’s obvious that the host’s goal is to go above and beyond - and our part of 6 couldn’t have been happier!

Perfect for a house full of teens

Property was very clean, and communication was exceptional. We really enjoyed our stay and use of the home. Nice, safe location, good neighbors. The only "issue" if you want to call it that, was the listing shows 3 king beds and 2 queen beds - one being shown in the basement living space. This is a sectional sofa, not a hide-a-bed. the actual description of the property does not list a 5th bed, so I should have asked for further clarification but again we had our teens with us and the sofa worked fine.

Wonderful home and great location!

The home was very clean and very comfortable. Conveniently located to downtown Louisville and Churchill Downs. We rent at least 2-3 properties a year and this one is by far the best one stocked beyond general basic items. I.e. extra blanks, pillows, welcoming snacks and bottled water, toiletries in both bathrooms, laundry detergent, just to name a few. Pride in ownership shows in every detail. John was very responsive and easy to work with. With 6 children, 1 teenager and 2 adults, we never felt cramped or on top of each other. All beds were super comfortable and the couches in both living areas were comfortable. Great space inside and out. The backyard/outdoor space was excellent - beautiful maintained grass, that the kids loved playing on, outdoor dining area with umbrellas and a fire pit with extra seating - even lantern tiki torches that were very easy to use. Home is located on a very quite dead end street. Close to Wal-Mart, Target and Kroger. Only item I would caution on are the stairs. If you have a guest with mobility issues, the stairs may be a challenge. However, we had no problems with the stairs. Highly recommend this home and would book it again. Thanks John for opening your home and providing a wonderful place for our annual GramCamp!

John was a fantastic host and the property lived up to its billing and great prior reviews. The accessibility to things around the city (we happened to be going to the Kentucky Expo Center which was just minutes) was a major plus. And the property was well-furnished, clean and had all the kitchen gear we needed. Great stay!

Wonderful find in Louisville!

We usually stay in short term rentals when we travel. This house is one of the nicest and most well appointed places we have ever stayed. John has literally thought of everything to make this a home away from home. We were a family of 8 with kids ranging from 8-14. John is wonderful. He checked in during our stay to make sure everything was going well(it was). He responded very quickly any time I had a question. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in town.
