Magical Fairytale Stay in Nulu Historic District
Once Upon a Louisville-Magical Fairytale Stay in Nulu Historic District
A magical hideaway where storybook elegance meets Southern charm. From the enchanted skyline mural to the whimsical starlit hallway, every corner is designed to spark wonder, nostalgia, and relaxation.
This 2-bedroom, 2-level historical home makes every corner feel like a page of a fairy tale.
Nestled in the heart of Louisville, this enchanting retreat blends vintage elegance with magical touches that transport you to another time — think whimsical LED starlights, historical charm, and breathtaking original 1900 finishes.
Whether you're sipping tea in the Bourbon Kitchen, curling up with a fairytale in the Serenity Room, or making a wish under the stars in the backyard oasis, your stay will feel like stepping into your own enchanted tale.
The space:
2 Bedrooms: The Royal lovers Suite features a plush king bed with ornate decor, while the Serenity Twilight Room offers a cozy queen bed with fairy-tale charm.
2 Bathrooms: Enjoy a beautifully updated walk-in shower or tub with vintage touches and modern fixtures.
Living Room: Get lost in the story within four walls. Enjoy the classic original fireplace, with comfy seating. It's the perfect place to unwind. As you look around, you will see all the history that created this town and quickly feel connected to its presence.
Kitchen: Fully equipped with modern appliances and old-world charm. It is perfect for candlelit dinners. Modern dining with a skyline mural will bring magic to the table. Enjoy tons of provided games, such as Jumbo Jenga, Dice, and Connect Four. This is the place for laughter, excitement, and memories.
Reading Nook: Our “Writer’s Tower” is a tiny turret-style escape tucked upstairs, ideal for journaling or a quiet moment.
Outdoor Oasis: A charming backyard space with firepit, grill, and cornhole— ideal for morning coffee or twilight toasts.
Two Levels: 1 Bedrooms, reading nook, and 1 bath is located on the second floor, while the living, kitchen, 2nd bedroom and bath are on the main.
Guest access:
Guests have access to the entire home and private backyard.
Other things to note:
- Built in 1900 — expect some original quirks and creaks that add to the charm.
- We provide a small collection of novels and games to fill every moment with wonder.
- Themed photo ops throughout for a magical Instagram moment! You're not going to believe the lighting at night!
Neighborhood:
Located in one of Louisville’s historic districts, you're minutes from downtown, Museum Row, the Bourbon Trail, Waterfront Park, and charming local cafes and boutiques. This is walking distance to all major attractions!
