Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “This was a lovely accommodation in a great location! Anthony was very communicative and their food and drink recommendations were spot on.” –Sara

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Tony's place was everything we expected and more. The location is fantastic. We were able to walk up for coffee or dinner, and ride scooters all over the historic neighborhoods nearby. Parking behind the house felt easy and safe. The house has charming architectural details and high ceilings, which we appreciated. The backyard was quiet and private on cool evenings. Very happy with this stay!” –Amy

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “My wife and I had a great stay at Anthony's apartment. The location is fantastic - just off of Bardstown Road in the heart of the Highlands. The apartment was spotless, well - and stylishly - appointed, comfortable and quiet. There is private off-street parking and the yard is well kept. There is outdoor furniture and a grill. We didn't cook-out but we enjoyed morning coffee under the trees! Also, the (king-size) bed is EXTREMELY comfortable. We had a great stay and I highly recommend the apartment. Five stars!” –John

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Such an unexpected treasure. Steps aways from Bardstown Rd, which is filled with cute shops, cafes, and restaurants of small business owners. The unit was charming and clean. Definitely Recommend” – Maria

☆☆ BEDROOMS ☆☆

The elegant master bedroom features a luxurious king-sized bed that provides a comfortable place to relax every night after a busy day of visiting historic neighborhoods and other attractions. This inviting space is complete with a cozy indoor fireplace and modern artwork. There’s plenty of storage space for your personal belongings in the cupboards.

☆☆ BATHROOMS ☆☆

The full bathrooms exude elegance with the marble vanity, dark wood, and beautiful custom tile work. Enjoy a lovely hot shower or soak in the bathtub to unwind at the end of each day. We’ll even start you off with the essentials you’ll need for your vacation, such as soap, shampoo, and toilet paper.

☆☆ KITCHEN & LOUNGE ☆☆

Enjoy cooking your favorite foods in our fully-equipped kitchen. Complete with stainless steel appliances and the all-important coffee machine, you’ll be able to start every morning just right! You won’t have to take your food far, either, as the casual dining table is located right in the kitchen. With natural light flooding through the large windows, a gorgeous exposed brick column, and a modern chandelier, this is a lovely place to enjoy a meal.

The cozy living room is the perfect place to relax and spend time together at the end of a fun-filled day. Relax on the comfy couch and watch some TV on the large flat-screen, or curl up on the armchair with your favorite book. The choice is yours!

Great Location in the Highlands
What a great location just off of bardstown rd and close to cherokee park. We loved it all and ended up walking almost everywhere. Safia coffee great and almost in the backyard(which is fenced and awesome). We also enjoyed Za's pizza and many local watering holes. The place was great and served every need we had. Tony was very quick to respond and stepped up when our previous VRBO cancelled 4 days before our arrival. Thanks for a great stay!

Location Location Location!!!
The location, size, owner communication and pet friendliness of this property was perfect for our family! This VRBO provided great space to hang out. The living space provided comfortable conversation areas; the outside high fenced yard was perfect for our dog to run about and the house was right around the corner from wonderful coffee houses and restaurants and just up from Cherokee Park. The owner was very responsive and timely and very accommodating. If you need a central location from Downtown, to Churchill Downs to the eastern louisville suburbs this home has it! Will definitely stay again:)

Central to everything
Great property central to everything…we found it easy to get to downtown or out to other destinations. We were close to Safai coffee, we tried a different shop one day and went right back to Safai. Seviche, was a great dinner recommendation, spot on Tony! The old forester distillery was awesome and close. Lastly, Castle and Key is an amazing story, worth the drive to see the grounds and tour if you can get in! Louisville was a Welcome surprise, was a much better trip than we expected

Clean. Roomy. Excellent location. Safe, quiet neighborhood. Right off Bardstown Rd, which had lots of restaurants. Very pretty street. Short walk to Cherokee Park, so we could do some hiking. Nice private parking area in the back of the house. Nice outdoor seating. Especially liked sitting on the front porch in the evening.

Weekend Getaway in Louisville
Property was perfect for our stay and was just as advertised. Tony was very responsive and extremely helpful. Property is within walking distance to lots of great coffee shops, boutiques, bars, restaurants, etc. (and the area is very safe and we felt very comfortable walking around). We had wonderful dinners at Shiraz and Public House and cocktails at Darlings. This Property is perfect for a couple looking for a weekend getaway.

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 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 2 full kitchens, 2 full living rooms, etc.
