The 50' x 25' saltwater pool, is surrounded by mature perennial gardens and has a baby pool (pool is open seasonally, early-May to mid-September, depending on weather). Pool is not headed but should be pleasant during the summer.

High quality Frette bed linens and towels adorn each bedroom and bathroom. House is stocked with shower products (soap, shampoo, conditioner), bottled water and a Keurig and regular/drip coffee maker (coffee pods, tea, creamer and sugar), basic condiments and spices, dishes, utensils, pots/pans, etc.

Situated on one of the most elite streets in the city, in prestigious Seneca/Cherokee Gardens neighborhood just blocks from restaurants, shops and bars, and just steps from famed Cherokee Park. Easy freeway access, close to downtown and airport and just a short 20 minute drive from Valhalla Golf Course or 15 minutes from Churchill Downs. If you're not familiar with Louisville, this is the 'happening' part of town -- you'll be just blocks away from some of the best restaurants in the city.

We ask that all groups observe "quiet hours" starting at 10pm every night to avoid disturbing neighbors. Please note that illegal drug use and/or commercial sex acts are not allowed on the premise. We encourage you to leave your firearms at home. Should you choose to travel with firearms, please do not leave them at the property. We cannot believe we have to add these additional policies, but all rules are here because someone has done all of these things :)

Note about weddings and special events/parties: While we are flattered that you think Stonecote would make a great venue for your wedding, rehearsal dinner, wedding brunch, bridal shower or special event, the property is not set up to accommodate these parties due to neighborhood and car restrictions. Unfortunately, we are no longer able to rent to bridal parties, bachelor or bachelorette parties.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Stonecote because it offers the best of everything! It is a rare find: an equestrian estate in the heart of Louisville! The pool (open seasonally - mid-May to mid-September) with shooting fountains is a great place for kids to play and the adults to relax on spring and summer evenings. Stonecote feels like a secluded, private park and is a perfect setting for many different occasions. The historic, hometown feel of Louisville makes it a great place to visit any time of the year.

What makes this property unique

Stonecote has great flow for entertaining and a large, chef's kitchen. There are plenty of rooms to gather, as well as ample areas to 'get away'.
