Me and about 13 women stayed here for my bachelorette party. We loved the house and it became one of the main talking points of the trip. It’s beautiful. It has some original finishes from the late 1800s but has been updated where needed, although it maintains the charm of an old mansion. It’s very clean and spacious. It’s not like cramming a bunch of beds into one room so the host can say it sleeps more people. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms so that we felt like we all had plenty of space. The owner is very responsive and will even meet you at check-in to go over the history of the house and to show you how things work. I highly recommend this property.

Fantastic historical home and our host Thomas was super. We came here as 16 adults celebrating a milestone birthday and there was plenty of room for all of us. Wish we would have done the guided walking tour of the neighborhood but ran out of time! Home has all the basic needs covered but could use a few spices in the cabinet for cooking. Thomas lives in the neighborhood so gave us some great recommendations for dining. Would come back again.

This was a great place for a group of 15 to stay! We had enough bedrooms for everyone, everyone had a bed and no one shared rooms with another couple. It was clean and had enough bathrooms. It was very easy to Uber from here to head down to Whiskey Row or ride scooters around town. The host gave a tour with some history of the house which many of our party appreciated! if you're looking for a fun, unique experience in Old Louisville, this house is it!

What a phenomenal house! Not only is it enormous (making life so easy on 14 guests), but there are very cozy areas for hanging out and the utilities across the property were perfect. This property also has very cool Bourbon history which ties it in so nicely to bourbon county. The only minor miss was a lower-than-expected number of drinking vessels (water/liquor), but you can always buy plastics nearby. Overall this was a phenomenal stay, 14/14 would recommend.

Stayed here with a group of friends for a Bachelor's party and it was the perfect house for our Louisville stay! The Big Shot Bourbon Mansion was super impressive, with what seemed like an endless number rooms and larger than life antique details. Good central location to get to many neighborhoods in Louisville.

We had 7 couples stay at the house. Excellent location awesome kitchen and open sitting area for cooking and conversation. 3rd floor loft great for watching sports with a kitchen for beverages. Beds were comfortable. Great Host quick response and when one of the wives left her ear buds he found them and mailed them. Very nice of him

The Big Shot Mansion did not disappoint, as our group was impressed from the moment we arrived. Perfect blend of old school charm and modern amenities. Plenty of room for 10 guys to spread out or gather together. 10 minutes to all Louisville attractions. Host was welcoming and informative. Would love to stay again. Thanks!

I've stayed at this property twice now with groups ranging between 9-12 people and both times have exceeded my expectations. My first stay was for my bachelor party 3 years ago and this past weekend for my future brother-in-law's bachelor party and both were amazing times on the Bourbon Trail. Check-in was seamless and we thoroughly enjoyed Thomas taking time to give us all a history of the home and original owner JTS Brown. We actually got a bottle of JTS Brown when visiting Heaven Hill! I will continue to recommend this home to family and friends visiting the area and will probably stay there again myself in the future!

Our group of 8 men (all over 60) enjoyed having our own rooms and bathrooms and also having a nice gathering room. Due to Covid, it was nice to dine in the spacious dining room. A nice side benefit was the free Shakespeare plays just one block away in Central Park. Wonderful actors and quite a benefit to Louisville during the summer.

Beautiful inside

Beautiful inside

Owner was fantastic. Place is drafty and hot. Needs better ac units in rooms, especially 3rd floor. The one we were in the ac was really short and literally blew air under the bed. Plus windows have big spaces in them so cold air goes right out. Everything worked as exoected and no bugs. Neighborhood is pretty rough. House is literally next to half way house and had syringes and empty beer bottles where we parked every morning. Inside definitely doesn't match the outside. It is such a pretty place inside that gets ruined by the state of the neighborhood. Owner was very nice and accommodating.

We had a great time at the Mansion! It was a great size for our group. We had 6 couples and everyone had their own space. It had two kitchens, which was really nice. The neighborhood is a little seedy, but it’s a really short distance to a lot of things. We took a lot of quick Uber rides to town and airport. Would definitely stay here again! Property manager was very helpful with everything we needed.

Great building with AMAZING history

Great building with AMAZING history

Thomas was an amazing host. Really appreciate that he gave me a tour of the property’s history, as we were going to be touring the bourbon trail on the following 3 days. The building was actually owned by JTS Brown whose Bourbon we ended up trying before we left. The house was pristine, and and had so much room for our entire party (16 guys). Would highly recommend if you want an authentic bourbon trail experience.

Bunch of neighborhood Dads came down for a long weekend to hang out and drink some bourbon. The mansion was great. Really appreciated the specialty glassware when mixing a cocktails, and the kitchens were well stocked with supplies and had top notch appliances for when we cooked in. A nice plus was the city bike rental right behind the property for the couple mile trip into downtown. Scooters were also plentiful for the return ride.

After searching hi and low for a property that could accommodate my 10 person group, we found this amazing property. Whether it’s a big group or individual families, this house is set up for it all. The house has a lot of history and is located in a quiet side of town next to a park and walking distance to a local brewery and tavern for food. Would stay here again 10/10

Bourbon Party

Perfect spot when bringing a big group, especially if Bourbon is the reason for your trip. The house is filled with history. Set up of the house is perfect for socializing on the first floor while bedrooms are on the second and third floor. Located close enough to everything even though immediate neighborhood lacks a bit for going out.
