Germantown Getaway

Live like a local in a home located in the heart of Germantown/Schnitzelburg, Louisville's most vibrant neighborhood. Walking distance from loads of restaurants and bars, you can enjoy those things that make Louisville unique, day and night. When you return to your new home away from home, enjoy a rotating collection of local art, borrow a growler to get filled at one of the nearby breweries, or just relax on the back deck. Suitable for a quick weekend getaway or weeks at a time.

Wonderful house centrally located in Germantown

I loved the feel of the house. You could tell it had been there for a long time but was well taken care of. The beds were super comfortable and i appreciated that there was no TV in any bedroom. The wall of boardgames was a really nice touch.

Louisville Bourbon Tour

This was a great, central location for checking out a few distilleries while in Louisville. Walking distance to several restaurants and less than ten minutes from downtown. The house was perfect for the four of us. We enjoyed our time.

We stayed here to complete the Bourbon trail. House in a good location in the middle of distilleries we had left. Home was clean. Parking on the street was normally available pretty close to the house. Nice towels
