This place is amazing! The host was so accommodating, making sure we had enough space for the 24 people who stayed with us and the extra 20 or so people who joined us for our rehearsal dinner. It allowed us to have everyone together at an affordable price in a beautiful place. It was close enough to downtown Louisville without being in downtown Louisville, and there are many fast food restaurants around as well as a Walmart right up the street that allowed us to go get things here and there as we needed them without driving all over the place to find a store! We truly had an amazing time here and can’t recommend it enough for large family/friend stays! Our stay was in winter, and we got really lucky with the weather, but I can only imagine how much more beautiful it is in the summer!

We stayed at this property with a couple of other families for a nearby event. The first night we had some issue's with the garbage disposal, and couldn't figure out how to turn on one of the showers. The owner was very responsive and had the garbage disposal fixed the next morning, and even came by to show us how to use the shower. He even provided some soccer balls and racquets for the kids. On the last day, we had a later flight, and he adjusted the cleaning crew scheduling to come a bit later so we could check-out a bit later and wouldn't need to wait for hours in the airport. Between the very cool property, and the owner being so accommodating, made the weekend very memorable, and would definitely stay at this amazing property again! Thank you!

This historical house was designed for what I was looking for. The architecture and the layout was pretty cool to be able to see the original house and what was added on the property over the years. The kitchen and the large dining area was perfect and our needs for meal preparation and dinners. A couple areas I was disappointed in was the cleanliness and supplies in organization in the kitchen. This old house could use a lot of TLC as you can see water damage along several walls within the home. We also noticed a lot of bugs and cobwebs, along with some water bottles and lids Behind the beds which told us had not been cleaned thoroughly. The kitchen had ample pots and pans, but it truly appeared that whoever was living here at the time, just walked out and left everything in Desiree. The kitchen could use some organization and purge a lot of the unnecessary items being stored there. The extra refrigerator was nice since there were eight of us. Plenty of extra towels and bedding throughout home. The property was listed as an eight bedroom home. However, that included a sofa, bed in the living room and bunkbeds and a piano room. I don’t necessarily call that a bedroom.

The house is really really cool. You have plenty of privacy, great for large gatherings. You’ll spend the first hour or two just walking and exploring the home. Had a blast here and would recommend anyone to stay here!

We had 8 cousins stay the weekend for our annual reunion. There was room for everyone to have their own bed. This house is fabulous. The historical architecture is beautiful and the modern kitchen is amazing. If you need anything Walmart is minutes away. The host was very helpful and responsive. We had trouble with some of the smoke alarms (just dead batteries) and they were fixed right away. He even brought us a load of firewood to have a bonfire in the fire pit. Would give this house 6 stars if I could.

Awesome place!!! Bedrooms are spread out to give extended family or friends privacy. Also a nice mix of seating in library, sunroom, dining and outdoor space. The outdoor space was especially nice with several large patios with lighting and grassy aress with large beautiful trees. Location was perfect, close to interstate and lots of nearby stores but yet somewhat secluded! Enrire place was very clean and kept..and the owner responded immediately to texts.. Highly recommend for extended family visits.

This house is 168 years old! The photos don't really tell the age story. There are not really 8 bedrooms. There are 5 with other converted rooms. A/C worked well. Quiet to sleep. The property is huge and private. Our group had a great time and the house served us well. The only place it really needs help is the kitchen. The ovens and stovetop are very old but functional. The cooking utensils, pots and pans need to be updated. The pans are too large for the oven and the pots and skillets are completely worn out, both in short supply. No light over the cooktop. Some cabinet drawers are broken. The BBQ grill is completely worn out. The glasses and silverware look to be random garage sale items. Most VRBOs that I have rented come with basic cooking supplies like salt, pepper, oil, spices. There were almost none of these and we had to make a trip to purchase. Great patio space, quiet. This place would make a great Halloween haunted house.
