Other Things to Note:
We love sharing this home with respectful guests who treat it as their own. Please take a moment to review the simple guidelines that help us keep the experience five-star for everyone.

🤫 Respect & Noise

This is a quiet residential neighborhood — please keep music and conversation at a considerate level, especially outdoors in the evening.
No parties or large gatherings are permitted. Registered guests only.

🐶 Pets

Well-behaved dogs are welcome with prior approval.

Pet fee: $40 per night for up to two dogs maximum.

No cats: Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate cats due to owner allergies.
The nightly pet fee covers the extra cleaning required after a pet stay, not damages. Guests are responsible for any damage, excessive wear, or mess caused by their pets.
Please clean up after your dogs and keep them off furniture and bedding to help maintain our high cleaning standards.

🚭 Smoking

Smoking or vaping is strictly prohibited inside the home or on enclosed areas such as the porch or patio.
A $500 cleaning fee will be charged for each night of your reservation if smoking or vaping occurs indoors, plus any additional costs associated with damages or lost income (such as canceling the next reservation to perform deep cleaning).
Smoking is only permitted outdoors in designated areas, and all waste must be fully extinguished and disposed of safely.

🧺 Cleaning & Checkout

The home is professionally cleaned before each stay. We simply ask guests to tidy up before checkout — wash dishes, place used towels in the laundry area, and ensure all doors are locked upon departure.
If your stay includes Wednesday night, please roll the outdoor trash bin to the street for early Thursday morning pickup. This small step helps our cleaning team tremendously.

By booking, you agree to follow these simple house rules so we can continue providing a comfortable and relaxing stay for every guest.

Interaction with Guests:
We respect your privacy and want your stay to feel effortless. You’ll have complete access to the home and can check in anytime with your personal smart lock code.

For all communication, we kindly ask that guests use the messaging center within the booking platform (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, etc.). This keeps everything organized and ensures we can respond quickly and efficiently.

If you need anything during your stay, our team is just a message away — happy to help with recommendations, local tips, or any questions that come up.

Whether you prefer a hands-off experience or friendly local guidance, we’re here to make sure your visit is smooth, comfortable, and five-star from start to finish.

Everything was fantastic! Well worth it! The only comment I have is to ensure if you plan on going to Louisville everyday, you will have to pay tolls on th way in and out of the city. Or take a sizable detour to avoid the toll.

Nice home

Good sized rooms and lots of items in the kitchen available for use. It even had dryer sheets and laundry soap. However, there was a full open trash can on the curb that smelled, the WiFi didn't work and then when it did it was extremely slow. There was not adequate silverware with only 3 spoons and forks and some cookware was dirty in the cupboards. It also might be helpful to have a bath mat as the wet floor was quite slippery. The silverware and WiFi issue was reported and not addressed by the owner. It was an okay stay, but the place can be improved with a bit of cleaning and adequate supplies for the amount of guests.

Very quaint house. We just needed some Rooms for sleeping after exploring Louisville. Not within walking distance of anything, but everything was within a 10 minute drive. We were supplied with less than half a roll of toilet paper and zero paper towels but it wasn’t the end of the world. Beds were comfy and the house was clean!
