Nice place to stop!

We were looking for a place to stop between Millersburg, Ohio and Chattanooga, Tennessee and decided to stay here. It was close to dining and shopping and we slept well, the area felt safe and if you are into baseball, horses or bourbon it would be a great place to stay a couple nights for sure.

Bourbon Belle Stay

Came to Louisville for a long weekend to visit with my son and his girlfriend and to watch the national football championship game. Can’t imagine our staying at a hotel again as long as homes like this are available. It’s so much more relaxing and has the benefit of a kitchen available.

Quiet getaway

The Bourbon Belle was the perfect location for a quick, quiet visit to Louisville. The home was cozy and comfortable, very convenient to downtown and distilleries and for hopping on/off the interstate. We’ve already recommended to friends that have Louisville and tastings in their travel plans. Thanks to Karen and Ken for sharing their stylishly updated shotgun house!

A beautiful home just outside of downtown Louisville, in a quiet suburb. This home was just remodeled and the homeowner provides all the amenities that you need for a comfortable stay. A ten minute drive and you’re downtown enjoying the great restaurants and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this home.

Super Cute Home in Great Neighborhood

We stayed here for 5 nights working remote and taking in Derby week festivities. The place is just as described and bigger than we thought it would be. There were two of us in our party, and we were very comfortable. Place is well stocked, and the neighborhood is great for walking and exploring. The hosts were awesome - very responsive and worked with us on a late checkout. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

Sweet house!

This place has great vibes! The house was so comfortable and relaxing. The only surprise was the takedown reno of the house next door (the same owner as this house) without notification prior to my booking. The noise was disruptive for a couple days while working from home. If that wasn’t the case this place would’ve been a solid 10/10.

Quick Getaway

Positives - As described, clean, good proximity to things to do, parking behind house, and effective for costNegatives - Immediate location is okay, but surrounding areas are pretty rough. That’s really the only complaint outside of noise from planes flying overhead. Some of the windows weren’t locked when we arrived. Not a big deal, so didn’t say anything to the host. Just thought it was weird.
