Great place to stay with family and with a dog. Big back yard, hammock worked great, and quiet neighborhood. Easy walk to shops, restaurants, and numerous trails. Easy access to downtown Louisville without the congestion and rush- nice easy going place. Highly recommended

We had 8 people and two dogs on our trip. The home was decorated very tastefully and was nice and clean. We all (including the dogs) enjoyed the porch and the fully fenced in yard. If we ever have occasion to return to the area, we would stay here again!

Relax and refresh

Such a wonderful and quiet place to stay. Ive always stayed at hotels but this home changed that forever. Plenty of room to stretch out and relax after a busy day of site seeing and adventure with frieds or family. Close enough to the festivities of Jeffersonvile, yet far enough away to enjoy some peace.

Great Location

We knew nothing about Jeffersonville, IN before our stay. We were just looking for a place to stop on our drive from Texas to Maine that allowed dogs and had a fenced in back yard. We were pleasantly surprised by the area. The home was lovely and the town is a hidden gem. We would definitely recommend this home to others.

Jeffersonville for Bourbon and Beyond

We had a very good stay at this residence. The house is historic and situated in a quaint historic neighborhood. There is a very large gated backyard and plenty of space inside the house. The festival grounds where the concert was were about 15 minute drive away, so staying in Jeffersonville was very convenient. We would definitely rent this place again.

Great location! Close to city but far enough away.

2 colleagues and I traveled to Louisville for a conference but didn't want to stay in the conference hotel. The Gem of Jeffersonville was perfect for us! The drive to the conference was 8 minutes and the location gave us the exact atmosphere to relax after a long day in sessions. The house is adorable and is decorated perfectly. The bed was cozy, the kitchen was appointed well and I loved the squeaky floors. I especially enjoyed the back porch for having my morning coffee.

Lovely Restored Home in Cute Town!

This was a really well done restoration of an old home in Jeffersonville. Jeffersonville is a neat town with fun food and places to walk. We were 10-15 minutes from Boyce College in Louisville, so the location was great. The home was clean and just what we were expecting. The owner responded very quickly to our questions and made sure that things were covered for us. We were all comfortable and made sweet memories together as a family!

Charming and well-appointed home

My family (parents & 2 teens) had a lovely stay! The place is an easy walk to the restaurants and shops on Spring Street; also nearby to the Big Four Bridge which was great to walk over the river! The kitchen is nicely appointed, including a spice rack, coffee & filters, even leftover containers to use (which are so helpful!). The front porch is great for coffee in the morning; and the back deck is a nice private place for outdoor time too. Three separate bedrooms and two baths made the space work well for us.
