A Few Final Notes
My favorite thing within walking distance of our place has to be the peaceful neighborhood itself. I love how quiet and relaxing it is—you can take a morning walk, sip your coffee on the front porch, or unwind in the big backyard and just enjoy the calm. It feels like a little retreat, but you’re still super close to everything in Louisville!
Another one of my favorite things nearby is the Bon Air Library—it’s just a short drive from the house. When our daughter was little, we’d go there for story time, which was always such a sweet and cozy experience. Afterward, we’d walk over to nearby Farnsley Park for an outdoor lunch and some playtime. I have so many precious memories of those afternoons—watching her laugh, play, and sometimes jumping in to play right alongside her. It’s a simple, lovely part of Louisville life that I still cherish.
Thank you for considering our home for your Louisville adventure! We’re here to make your stay as smooth and enjoyable as possible—if you need anything, don’t hesitate to reach out. We love hosting and hope you’ll feel the care we’ve put into every detail of this space.

I’m so glad you’re here.

🍽 Food is my love language.

Come exactly as you are.
You don’t need to impress anyone here. Whether you’re in travel mode, work mode, or just-need-a-break mode — this space is judgment-free. Authenticity is always in style.
🗣 Deep conversations and belly laughs are always welcome.
This place has heard stories, secrets, giggles, and dreams. Feel free to add your own. If the vibe inspires something real — go with it.
🛋 Your comfort matters most.
If anything feels off — big or small — please let me know. I’d rather fix it quickly than let it linger. Your stay should feel easy and relaxed from start to finish.
🙏 Thank you for being here.
Seriously. Out of all the places you could’ve chosen, you picked this one. That means a lot — and I hope you feel the love that lives in these walls.

Why they chose this property
Why I Chose This Neighborhood
I chose this neighborhood because it just feels like home. It has that rare balance of being close to everything—shops, groceries, dining, you name it—while still being quiet, safe, and welcoming. I love that you can walk to Target or Costco in just a few minutes, but you still get to come home to a street where people wave hello and families walk their dogs in the evening.
It’s a place where longtime residents live side by side with young families, where things are established but not stuffy. I wanted to create a space here where guests could feel grounded, whether they're staying for a weekend or a few weeks. It’s not just about convenience—it’s about feeling connected and comfortable.
