The Classics: Sip a cocktail at the historic Jack Fry’s or grab world-famous fried chicken at The Eagle.
Global Flavors: Try authentic Havana Rumba, tacos at La Suerte, or Twig and Leaf.
Craft Beer & Spirits: Visit Vines Wine Bar, Darlings, Holy Grale (located in a stunning 1905 church) or Neat Bourbon Bar for a true Kentucky experience.

About the host
Hosted by Rebecca
Welcome! I’m Rebecca, and hospitality is truly in my DNA. After spending nearly 20 years in the New Orleans hotel industry, I’ve brought that passion for service to my adopted home of Louisville, KY. I know exactly what makes a stay exceptional: comfort, communication, and a personal touch.
When I’m not hosting, you’ll likely find me in the kitchen trying out a new recipe, tending to my garden, or hitting a class at OrangeTheory. I believe a great home should feel like a sanctuary, which is why I’ve ensured this space is as safe as it is stylish. Whether you're here for the Derby or a quiet getaway, I can’t wait to make you feel right at home.

Why they chose this property
I chose the Highlands for this home because it captures the very best of Louisville. I know that travelers look for three things: comfort, convenience, and character. The Highlands delivers all three. You are steps away from 'Restaurant Row' on Bardstown Rd., minutes from the scenic trails of Cherokee Park, and surrounded by the historic charm that makes our city so special. You are perfectly positioned to reach Downtown, Churchill Downs, and the Airport in under 15 minutes.
What makes this property unique
Live like a local in the heart of Louisville’s most vibrant neighborhood! Whether you’re here for a Bellarmine graduation, a Bourbon Trail adventure, or a family getaway, our spacious 4BR/2BA Cape Cod offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern convenience.
• Unbeatable Location: 2-minute walk to Bellarmine University and 10-minute walk to the iconic shops, bars, and dining of Bardstown Rd.
• Rare Private Parking: Avoid the Highlands street-parking struggle with a private driveway for 4 cars.
• Spacious Layout: 3 bedrooms on the main floor + a private upstairs "retreat" with 2 Queen beds.
