In the mornings, watch hawks across the open space back field while sipping coffee on back-deck porch swing. In the evenings, ride the provided bikes (with helmets) one mile along the bike trail to events in downtown Louisville, CNN Money's #1 Place to Live in the United States. Saturday is the farmers' market, Thursday is free outdoor concerts, Wednesdays are open-air movies! Great restaurants, microbreweries, and wine bars within 5 miles. Single-track trails are out the backyard gate and hiking, climbing, fishing, stand-up paddle-boarding, and tubing (yes, this is a real thing...) are all within 30 mins. Kitchen has maple cabinets with granite counter tops, gas range and is open to living/dining room - all with beautiful hardwood floors. One bedroom with queen bed and large bookshelf full of guidebooks, kids books and games for your use. Sliding glass door opens onto huge backyard deck with gas barbecue. Second bedroom with high-quality mattresses on bunk beds and the option for an air mattress on the floor. TV room with fast internet and entertainment system has IKEA couch that pulls out into a queen-sized bed an a Peleton bike for your use. One full bathroom with bathtub/shower and a hallway half bathroom. Laundry room with Samsung, front-load washer/dryer. SUPER kid-friendly house on a sleepy street, vegetable garden (welcome to eat but no maintenance required), and the bike trail passing the back fence winds 150 yards to a quaint little neighborhood park. Pick wild currants for morning pancakes! We are dog-friendly, with a fully fenced backyard and laundry room dog door, but no cats please (I'm super allergic!). My husband and I are both on the academic calendar, and so we rent our house while traveling in the summer.
