Kentucky Derby Mother/ Daughter trip!
Beautiful home in a great neighborhood! We really enjoyed having a kitchen to cook our meals in and it was well equipped. Parking on the street was easy even on Derby weekend. The house is decorated well and very comfortable. I am so glad we stayed here vs a hotel!

Super Cute Home in Great Neighborhood
We stayed here for 5 nights working remote and taking in Derby week festivities. The place is just as described and bigger than we thought it would be. There were two of us in our party, and we were very comfortable. Place is well stocked, and the neighborhood is great for walking and exploring. The hosts were awesome - very responsive and worked with us on a late checkout. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

Nice place to stop!
We were looking for a place to stop between Millersburg, Ohio and Chattanooga, Tennessee and decided to stay here. It was close to dining and shopping and we slept well, the area felt safe and if you are into baseball, horses or bourbon it would be a great place to stay a couple nights for sure.
