Perfect Louisville Getaway

My family and I had a wonderful time at this property unwinding after many miles on the bourbon trail. Communication was spot on regarding the check-in process and we greatly enjoyed ourselves. We will definitely be back when we come back to Louisville!

Overnight stay

It was a cute cottage in a nice area. We were comfortable for our overnight stay. The cottage is older and charming, but did need a little TLC in some areas.

I stayed at Diane’s small cottage in Louisville with my friend and it was absolutely perfect for us. The place was quaint, clean, and beautifully designed. You can tell a lot of thought went into the interior. The location couldn’t have been better: just 10 minutes from downtown, 15 minutes from a major shopping mall, and right on the water. It was so peaceful and serene, a wonderful spot to relax after work.Diane was a fantastic host, very kind, responsive, and flexible with our check-in time. Her instructions were clear and made everything easy. We had no issues at all during our stay. I’d highly recommend this cottage to anyone visiting Louisville.

Comfortable Cottage!

Very nice location! Close to the River and minutes to downtown Louisville and public parklands! The cottage was very nice, easily accessible and located in a quiet area. There is onsite parking. The property owner was quick to respond to any communication. I would stay here again.

Absolutely amazing rental!

You could tell the renter went the extra mile, both financially and with design, to make the renter's stay comfortable, fun, and luxurious. We appteciated the quality bath linens and bedding, and the beds were so comfortable. The design made it feel inviting and high end. Communication with the renter reflected the large effort of this renter. She was timely and professional, and very reprogram to our family's needs. I highly recommend this property. You cannot beat the location or the effort put into this rental.

Long Weekend Getaway

Very cozy and comfortable cottage. Very close to dining and attractions. Convenient to anywhere we needed to get to. The hosts were very kind and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Due to the bad weather from the hurricane in Florida we thought we might lose electricity and Diane brought us a basket of candles and flashlights. So sweet! Would go back here again!

The property is truly beautiful, set up a little funny, but very nice, very well kept and communication with owner was very rapid.Problems1. Internet, such a poor signal the smart televisions on the property could not connect2. It said it had a grill, it did not. It had a fire pit.3.a lack of cooking utensils, no frying pans no spatula ...really nothing 4. Vent fan over oven and light over oven not functional.

Lovely

Although the pictures posted were not the rental we got, we enjoyed our stay. The cottage was clean and the location was perfect - although lacking the Ohio River view that was the reason we booked this location. The host was friendly and showed her concern about an issue with the key. We would gladly book there again and recommend it to friends.
