Great property! The host was communicative and friendly, with a quick response when needed. The building had plenty of space and was exactly as advertised. We wouldn't hesitate to book again!
The house was perfect for our large group. Jack did a wonderful job communicating. It was clean and comfortable. Very unique house and perfect location if you want to be downtown.
We had a group of 12 of us stay and everyone couldn’t stop commenting at how large and convenient the space was. Very close to all of the major attractions and would definitely stay here again.

Large house well outfitted for groups of family or friends. Close to Whiskey Row, later night options for food/drinks closeby across the street at the Omni hotel. Lots of communication throughout the stay from the owners. Great stay - thank you!!

Heart of Louisville so everything was walkable. House is huge with plenty of space but enough closed off space for privacy. If I visit Louisville again, I’ll be using this property.

We came here for a bachelor party and everyone's minds are still blown about how neat and unique this property was. Perfect location in walking distance to pretty much everything downtown. Tons of space, and extremely comfortable living conditions. 100% am looking forward to coming back!

It was a pleasure hosting you. You've treated our place with respect and left it in great condition. Would definitely recommend you to other hosts.
The house is huge and in a good location. It took a little bit to get our bearings because it’s a unique layout but it has plenty of space and if you are in the bedrooms you can’t hear if other people are awake or making noise which is nice for larger groups. The location is walking distance from most of what we wanted to do. There are a lot of people walking around and sleeping outside the front door but it was never threatening or anything like that. The owners were very responsive and helpful and overall the place was awesome.

We stayed with 10 for a work trip. The location is right in the heart of downtown, which is great; however, that also comes with a significant number of homeless individuals very close to the property (including sleeping on our front step). The manager was very responsive and tried his best to help. Just know that you will be interacting with squatters right outside your door.

Had a great weekend touring distilleries with friends. Place was spacious clean and well kept. Check in process was easy. Location is downtown with some displaced individuals in the vicinity so be aware.
We stayed here for a large friend's weekend and the size/layout of the property was great to accommodate so many people while still giving a bit of privacy. Loved that there were several bathrooms on each floor (at least 1 per room) and the separate suite. The living spaces were also nice and spacious for all of us to be together. The location is walkable and everything we did was within a 5-10 minute drive which made it very convenient.

Thank you, Scott, for being such a considerate and friendly guest. Our home was left spotless! Hope to see you again.
House is central to everything you need by foot or scooter. Perfect set up inside for small or large groups. Make sure front door is locked at all times, as neighbors from the homeless shelter congregate on the front steps of the house.

Me and some friends visited the bourbon trail. The location of the house made it easy to visit the surrounding distilleries. We were also able to walk to 4th street live and even New Lou. The house reminded us of something from Alice and Wonderland, different rooms and doors through the house, we enjoyed learning the layout of the place. Everything was clean and organized and we enjoyed are stay.

We had a fantastic experience staying at this beautiful historic home in downtown Louisville. The house itself is impeccably clean, tastefully furnished, and full of character—exactly what you'd hope for in a historic property. It was also incredibly comfortable and spacious, easily accommodating our team of seven, with everyone enjoying their own separate space to relax and recharge.The host was outstanding—extremely responsive and kind throughout our stay. We had a small hiccup with parking (which was due to an external factor and not the host’s fault), but it was addressed quickly and professionally. We truly appreciated the level of care and communication.The location couldn’t be better—close to all that downtown Louisville has to offer, while the house still provided a quiet and peaceful retreat at the end of each day. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and comfortable stay in the city!
