Good place for our big group. Lots of spaces to hang out and plenty of parking. We had a van and driver to take us around so no issues getting to and from Churchill Downs.
Everything was absolutely perfect. We had all ages at our family reunion, and this home fit the bill perfectly. It was immaculate, lots for everyone to do, comfortable beds, and plenty of space to both be together and have privacy. Communication was easy and very prompt. They did absolutely everything to make sure our stay was perfect. We are already going to book for next year. Couldn’t want a better place. Don’t pass this one up!
This beautiful lodge was perfect for our annual sister's weekend which now includes all female members of our family who are over 21. The nice open kitchen/family room was our main gathering place, but we sure had a fabulous time in the massive game room and on the pickle ball court. This is a very clean and comfortable venue for any gathering and the website pictures, as nice as they are, don't do it justice. We had a wonderful stay.
Had a family vacation with 10 couples and needed a large home to accommodate everyone. This home was perfect, plenty of rooms for everyone and amazing basement to keep everyone entertained. House was clean and had no major issues. Would defiantly recommend this house.
Great space for a multi family getaway for a few days. Everyone loved the downstairs play space with the golf area and arcade games. Nice fire pit area for cool fall evenings.
This was a perfect stay for my bachelor’s party trip. We a couple of very minor issues (Wi-Fi) that we had quick responsiveness and resolutions for! Would definitely recommend this place. We loved the basement area and the poker table!
We are a swim team, and we had 13 teenage swimmers who loved this place. There was so much for them to do: air hockey, ping pong, games, and playing on the pickleball court. As the chaperone, I loved the space where they could spread out and not have to worry about being loud or disrupting others, which we would have had at a hotel. The place is huge and very nicely kept. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a lot of room and a lot of activities.Great stay.
Everything went swimmingly with no issues. All utensils, appliances, toiletries, etc. were supplied and stocked. Everything was clean and neat when we arrived and the overall aesthetic was beautiful!
Was exactly what we needed to comfortize all the guests. Was easy to rent and any questions were quickly answered. Loved the place. Will recommend to anyone and for sure rent again if needing a place in the furure.
The place was great, plenty to do at the property and if you’re a golfer it is right on a course. Plenty of parking and space for people to enjoy. The property is not close to the bourbon trail but this is easily solved with some planning. I recommend if you’re booking for a group line up bus tour or a driver and you have the perfect place to stay.
Very spacious lodge with plenty to do. We spent most of the time in the basement. Wish we would’ve been allowed to play on the golf course on-site. Great location in a beautiful neighborhood. Only about a 30min drive to Louisville and about 30mins from the start of the Bourbon Trail. I enjoyed my bachelor party there very much.
Beautiful, peaceful home in a rolling hills environment. Very clean and very comfortable for our 16 family members. Well stocked kitchen and 6 bathrooms made it easy to manage. I would say that we did miss not having a fire pit outside but the rest of the outside barbecue and seating made up for it

Fabulous house in a quiet, golf community.
We were excited to stay at The Lodge. The house was immaculate. Beds were comfortable. The downstairs has arcade games and an entire room to practice golf. We would stay up late having putting competitions. Ample room for everyone in our party. I would definitely come back to stay here. This area was very quiet, safe and enjoyable. Couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay.
