Downtown Jeffersonville riverfront apartment
This is our second time staying. We had a great time and perfect location! The balcony overlooking the bridge is my favorite part.

Remodeled Riverfront Unit - Porch with River View
Jennifer's place exceeded our expectations. The lay out suited the needs of us 3 perfectly. We had a wonderful view from our balcony of the river and bridge. The beds were just right, leading to a very peaceful sleep. The place was quiet and within easy walking distance of the music festival we were attending and close to many restaurants. Neighborhood was historical, scenic and, above all, safe. Jennifer was a pleasure to deal with and always responded quickly to all of our inquiries. We will definitely book here whenever we are in Jeffersonville, IN or Louisville, KY.

Luxury, Modern 1-Bedroom High Rise Condo
Great apartment, great location and great housekeeping service. The apartment has all I would totally recomend this place to anyone.

Welcome to Serena’s place! Spacious 2bd 2bath!
My previous booking was cancelled last minute due to a flood and Serena came to the rescue. I had rented the airbnb to use for my husband and I the night of our wedding and she was so helpful! She answered all of my questions and the apartment was beautiful. Beds were comfortable. Showers worked amazing. Everything was great.

Downtown Duplex with Panoramic View (12 Beds)
Little miscommunication on both of our ends to start the trip, HOWEVER - Brooke and Albert made sure that we were fully taken care of and the place was great. I had many questions throughout the 5 days we were in Louisville and whether it was a text or a call, they were there to help. Could not recommend a host OR a place to stay more in Louisville! Thank you very much for making our trip amazing!

Amazing location condo on Main st !
Very nice efficiency apartment with private entrance and close to the river trail. Was perfect for my weekend visiting friends!

Gorgeous High-Rise On The River
Antonio’s place was perfect for the quick weekend trip to Louisville! The building had so many amenities and was so clean and well kept! The room itself was also incredibly clean, well decorated and had everything we could’ve needed! I was very very impressed! Antonio was also super easy to communicate with and very kind! We loved our stay! Thank you!!

Derby/ Bourbon Trail 4BR Pool Table Villa
Was a good place for 5 guys to hang out before a wedding

Secluded cottage on farm.
What a wonderful farm cottage! Anna was very helpful getting us set up in a relaxing, peaceful place. After our first night, she checked in to make sure everything was going well and suggested activities we could do. Would highly recommend

Geodome | Waterside | Fire Table | WraparoundPorch
We had a great stay! The geodome was a peaceful surprise, especially at night. Definitely needed the ac they had installed for it though. The house was beautiful and even though it was nearby to nightlife, it felt like a true cabin in the woods.

The River Retreat
nice place, next to and facing golf course and trails, Host Allen was very responsive. we called in for a flush issue and the deck was not clean. they immediately sent to fix that and cleaned the deck and got a new comforter for us. this house is in a good location/ neighbourhood and approx 10mins drive to downtown however the adjacent neighborhood seemed a bit rundown. overall a good place and pics and description were accurate.

House on Mansion Row in downtown New Albany!
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the property. It was beautifully decorated and had everything we could need. It was exactly as it appeared in the pictures and description. Easy to find and easy check in. The local area was amazing, great restaurants, easily walkable. Would 100% stay here again and highly recommend it .

Beachfront River Cottage
This was one of my favorite Air BNB stays to date. The cottage was so incredibly beautiful. It was super well stocked, clean, and there was a great amount of information about the property. We will definitely be back.

Exquisite Louisville Area, Derby, River Retreat
5 Stars! The place was amazing! Beautifully located on the Ohio River, it offered breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. The beverage refreshments were such a thoughtful touch, making the experience even more special. Micha was incredibly easy to talk to and very accommodating. Hands down, this place is a gem tucked away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Highly recommend!

Riverhouse w/ waterfront view 15mins from downtown
Brittany’s place is one of those that feels immediately like home. It’s a gorgeous spot on the river with lots of space and comforts. We were a group of 6 and always had more than enough room - between beds, big kitchen for cooking family meals, an office space that was great for yoga, living room and tv room. Also loved the balcony and seating areas overlooking the water. 10 mins to downtown Louisville but with all the peace and quiet of a vacation getaway. And Brittany was so accommodating, responsive, and kind. We hope to be back for future visits!

Cozy penthouse with entertainment and food nearby
This was a beautiful place! The host, Marshall, was amazing—very responsive and extremely helpful with directions. The location is super convenient, close to many restaurants and shops, and just a quarter-mile from the river. I especially want to highlight Marshall’s kindness. One evening, as I was about to walk to a nearby ice cream shop, he noticed me outside and graciously reopened the one located right below the Airbnb just so I didn’t have to go elsewhere. That thoughtful gesture truly made my stay even more memorable. Highly recommend this spot!

Downtown Louisville - entire condo with a view!
The space was perfect for 9 of us to stay. Everyone had their own bed which was more than comfortable as well as an extremely accommodating living room space. The restaurants and night life were all very walkable from where we were at. Very happy we booked with Nathan!

"Cheers Town Centre Retreat" - Norton Commons
Absolutely amazing stay! Wonderful location, accommodations and hosts. The most well stocked of any place I’ve ever stayed. My husband and I had a wonderful weekend away. Perfect home base while exploring distilleries of Louisville. Felt like coming home when returning to Jodie & Doug’s place. Norton Commons is a sweet neighborhood with plenty to offer all on its own. Can’t wait to stay here again in the future.

Downtown Louisville 2BR Condo with Amazing View
The location was perfect for a guys weekend. Walkable to multiple small batch distilleries and bourbon tasting rooms.

Spacious Riverfront Condo Minutes from Downtown!
Awesome stay. Although it's not the best view of the river and Louisville in the distance, the area more than made up for it. Our kids were competing in the NASP tournament at the KY Exposition Center in Louisville which was a quick trip across the bridge. The indoor pool was heated and jetted. This was an unexpected luxury and extremely relaxing after a long drive. This was our first AirBnB and we loved the privacy and ease of access to many attractions as well as restaurants.

The Santuary- unique styled penthouse
Great place and location.

Luxury City Escape. Peaceful Retreat by Hollyhock
Great location. Lots of room.

BEST View of Louisville
This condo is beautiful with a great view! We were there for the Abbey Road on the River festival and were able to walk to and from the venue with ease. I would highly recommend this place.
