The space
The Bourbon Belle is one of Louisville's original shotgun homes. Louisville is known for it's preservation of these unique homes that "you could fire a shotgun from one end of the home out the other". They were built in the early 1890’s by German immigrants working in small farms and butcher shops.
We worked to restore this historic property with modern conveniences and comforts while keeping the rich tradition alive.

Sleeps 4 comfortably, premium linens and towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner supplied.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Karen Sumner
Hello,
My husband Ken and I have lived in the Highlands/Germantown area since 1997. I am a retired nurse and real estate agent and we run a real estate investment company, managing our properties ourselves without using a property management co. I am originally from Louisville and met Ken while studying at the University of Kentucky. However, we both graduated from the University of Louisville! So, we get to cheer for both teams!
We love Louisville, know the history and all the cool things to see and do. We love being centrally located and close to everything! Just let us know what your interests are and if you need some tips we'd be happy to help!
