Overall good stay. The one issue we had was with the overpowering smell from all the air fresheners. Our child couldn't sleep from the stro

Fredie, the host, was extremely helpful and unbelievably responsive. The house was spotless and included everything we needed as well as a welcoming basket.
The house was in a wonderfully quiet neighborhood and very clean and stocked to make food prep easier. The owner was very security conscious. 10/10 would recommend

Thanks Angel! We'd love to host you again next time you're in town!
We came in for the bourbon and beyond festival along with several bourbon tours. He was a great location for hitting the Bardstown area and the Louisville area. Located just in between. The place was nicely decorated out in Bourbon theme. Great place to stay and adventure out during the day.

My family and I enjoyed our stay. We were in town for a volleyball tournament, and being located between Louisville and the bourbon trail was nice. The place was clean had everything we needed. The neighborhood is quiet and family friendly. We would stay here again.

Thanks a lot Tim! We'd love to host you next time you're in town!
This was a perfect place to stay! We were in between Louisville and Fort Knox so for us, the location was great. It was very clean, quiet, and so much better than a hotel! The bed was so comfortable. I’d highly recommend staying there and would again. We weren’t lacking anything. The backyard was very spacious and nice but the weather was too hot while we were there to go out and sit.
