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.

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.

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.
