Our stay was excellent, except for the interruption of our truck being broken into in the church parking lot across the street. Absalutely nothing to do with the accomidations. It is a very charming little retreat and having the added security of the garage for our classic muscle car was perfect.

Weekend away

Enjoyed our stay! It was a little tricky trying to get into the home, as there were 6 trash cans blocking the entrance upon arrival, but after moving them about we were able to unpack and enjoy our stay. It was great how walkable the restaurants were and appreciated how welcoming many were of our pup. We took the bikes into Louisville and enjoyed seeing the distilleries. If you are going to do the same, I would bring a bike lock from home, since the neighborhoods definitely had some challenges with homeless roaming about. Overall the home met our needs and we really appreciated the quick responsiveness of the host, when needed. The courtyard could use some love, but it was still really nice to have with our dog in tow. Overall had a really good experience.

1st trip to Louisville and 1st VRBO

Being from the exurbs, the neighborhood took a minute to settle into. But the property proved to be quiet, comfortable, and clean. It was convenient to the fairgrounds, downtown, and some cool restaurants nearby. Overall, it was a good fit for our trip.

Acceptable and Comfortable place to stay.

The property worked us for but would not have worked for the 6 people it was listed for. The yard was not private. We could have used a cutting board and some dish towels. The neighborhood was fine for dog walks and we were close to U of L which we needed.

Great Host & exactly what we needed!

Everything was wonderful! The kids loved having their own TVs on each bunk bed. Beds were super comfortable, had everything we needed, highly recommend checking out the restaurant's in highland! The record player was a hit as my kids have never seen one before! Now my daughter wants one for her birthday! There is a great record shop nearby! It was so nice to be able to travel and spend time as a family with our dog!

We had a great stay with our dog within walking distance to shops and restaurants and Old Forester Paristown Hall where we attended a concert. Space was cute and clean and well appointed for dog owners! Love the horse mural and pics throughout while the record display is perfect for my vinyl collecting husband
