River Front Cottage - Entire house - Renovated
This is a beautiful place to stay. Kevin is very friendly and response. We enjoyed our stay and will be looking forward to a future stay.

2 br home, walking distance to much entertainment
This home was the perfect location to explore the best parts of Louisville, with so many restaurants, breweries/distilleries, and activities just a walk away. The home and backyard were even better than the pictures! Would definitely stay here again if we ever find ourselves back in town.

Near Expo • Churchill Downs • Downtown • Cozy
We throughly enjoyed David's home. It in a peaceful neighborhood with a great backyard! We used the kitchen alot during our stay and it had everything we needed! The laundry amenities were also very convenient with detergent and stain remover provided. David was very responsive and understanding! We absolutely hope to stay here again!

Cozy Cottage on Firefly Farm
We enjoyed our stay immensely. Everything was exactly as described and communication with the hosts was stellar. The space was large, clean, and inviting. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

The Cottage at StoneLedge 2 bedroom/1bath
Kelly’s property was beautiful. My husband and I were just passing through for the night but really wish we had more time to enjoy the location. It was very peaceful and well kept grounds. I got to see a few of the horses while we were driving away and would have loved to see more. We got in late evening and had to leave early morning. The house was clean, bed was comfy and had a cute front porch. I am hoping to find another reason to be out in the area and have a longer stay at Kelly’s place.

Bourbon Trail*Pewee Valley *HOT TUB
We had a great stay. Hung out in the screened in front porch, grilled, enjoyed the hot tub and the old Derby style of the KY home. Toni was a great host and responded quickly.

Stay on the sunny side of Downtown Louisville!
Great place to stay! Loved everything about it. Will definitely be staying here again while in town.

Downtown Condo | Private 1 CAR Garage & Balcony
Staying at this Airbnb was absolutely worth the price. The place was clean and conveniently located near plenty of great restaurants and bars. The host was very responsive, keeping us updated and giving helpful heads-ups about the unit. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Highlands - Elegant Calm Clean & Green - Walkable
Paulo’s place was great and he was a wonderful host. Street parking was never a problem and the kitchen was well equipped with everything you need.

Cherokee Park Oasis with Private Entrance
Beautiful place - even better than the photos! The backyard is so peaceful and we enjoyed a dip in the pool. The 2 bedrooms and common area were very spacious and great accommodations for my family of 4. Keegan was very helpful leading up to and during our stay.

Charming Bourbon Bungalow - 1 Mile from Downtown!
1000% cannot recommend this space more, beautiful with thoughtful and welcoming host. Easy checkin/check out and a comfortable spacious home. Cannot recommend enough!

Tyler Park Cottage in the Highlands
It was an excellent place to stay. Very comfortable and conveniently located near downtown and the Highlands. Also quite private and quiet despite being next to a busy road.

The Coop
We loved our stay at the Coop! The farm is lovely and it was great to explore it and see what Dave and Margaret love doing. Noodle the dog was of course and excellent tour guide.

2 BD 1 BA Serene Setting Retreat House
So beautiful I hated to leave. It’s a real gem with super kind hosts.

Seneca View
The apartment at Gregory's place was well appointed with all needed for convenience and comfort. It is in a lovely, established neighborhood, yet not too far from restaurants and easy access from I-64. I would highly recommend it.

Spacious & Artsy Highlands 3 Bedroom for Up to 6
Ann’s place was perfect for our girls weekend but would also be a great space for a family. Ann’s communication was great prior to and during our stay. All directions were clear. Would definitely recommend this place for someone looking for a quiet, peaceful stay in a residential neighborhood.

Limerick Carriage Company
We enjoyed our stay in this airbnb. It was exactly as described and very clean and comfy. The location was perfect and we felt safe. We really enjoyed the bathtub and shower! The steps in the home are steep, so if you have any issues with stairs this is not a good one for you. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you both. :)

Velo Studio Flat / Paristown Pointe / Highlands
John was a wonderful host! Very friendly and offered various recommendations, all walkable from the home. Has many menus and guides on hand for places to eat and visit in the area. Provides the comfiest pillows, clean linens, with extras in the closet. There’s a sign that says “Best Shower in Louisville” and I’d have to agree! Amazing water pressure that you don’t find often. The location is central to many walkable restaurants, bars, etc. We didn’t drive the entire stay since everything was so close. Will definitely stay here again when in the area. Highly recommend!

Cabin on Lake Close to Louisville Ky
This home was very relaxing and comfortable.

The River's Edge Oasis, close to downtown
The River’s Edge Oasis was a great place to stay for our quick trip through Louisville. Had some difficulties for a few minutes getting the keys, but James answered very quickly and we figured out the issue and everything was smooth sailing from there. The house is decorated very nicely and very clean, you’ve got everything you need and if you don’t have it there are plenty of options around to find what you’re looking for. It was beautiful to wake up overlooking the Ohio River in the early mornings, very quiet and peaceful. James and his team were very accommodating and it made our short stay so enjoyable. We would definitely book this house again if we’re ever in the Louisville area!

The Highlands Condo/Roof Deck
This place ranks a 5 star! It is beautiful, comfortable, plenty of room. Libor had excellent communication, and was gracious with early check in and early check out. The neighborhood is very walkable- beautiful homes, bars and restaurants. It is right next to NuLu and a few minutes from downtown. An excellent place to stay to explore Louisville with all the distilleries, history, museums, and great food!

Beautiful space with a garage.
The pictures portray the space very well! Coury was very considerate and helpful. The coffee in the area was exceptional!

NEW Hot Tub, Walk 2 Park, Whole Foods, Movies Mall
We loved staying at Kristen’s place. Spacious and quite lovely. We will definitely stay again in the future. Many restaurants nearby. Beautiful neighborhood.

DOWNTOWN LOUISVILLE ⭐ Expo Center⭐ 3 BR, 2 BT
This house was great and in a good location for us! We had events at U of L and the Expo Center, and this was right in the middle, with each location about 4 minutes away. The house was clean, and the neighborhood is quiet (other than some air traffic noise, but there are sound machines in each room if needed). The hosts were proactive and clear in all communications. We appreciated the book of local restaurants and recommendations. We would stay again!
