Beautiful older home with all the needed and contemporary updates! Both kitchens are amazing, the size of the property is massive! We enjoyed our stay, and we’re here to celebrate my daughter’s 9th birthday with a sleepover and hot tub! Great hide and seek! And…you can see how nice this place would be for an adult trip only! Great and responsive owners, and property is very well kept!! Definitely recommend!
It is a great location. There was great communication with the property manager throughout our booking and stay. This was the perfect fit for our group of 8.
We loved our stay at The Bonneycastle! The house was as described and had lots room. Tony the host was extremely responsive and helpful. The neighborhood was great and there was a ton of stuff within walking distance. I highly recommend staying here!
This was for a guys trip. The house has great amenities (kitchens, lots of beds) for large groups. Definitely will keep an eye on this property for any return trip I plan!
We rented this property for a group birthday bourbon trail long weekend in KY.
It was the perfect location for a diverse group of people. Local shops, bars, and restaurants in walking distance, and a short drive to all the other popular Louisville locations
ample parking was a great bonus given the size of our group
Our group of 8 friends loved everything about our stay at Bonnycastle. The house was great, the hosts were beyond helpful and responsive! The fact that we could walk to SOOOO many stores, restaurants, coffee shops, etc was wonderful. Absolutely recommend
Our group of 8 guys had a great time at the Bonnycastle. The location was perfect for bourbon trail exploring. Our driver picked us up at the house on travel days and several Louisville distilleries were close by to venture out on our own. The location is also convenient to restaurants and bars. We enjoyed hanging out in the back yard each night.
This house was super cool (built in the 1900s!) and very spacious! It was clean and the beds were very comfortable! We absolutely loved the location, walkable to so many places and also short uber rides/drives to other attractions! We did have an almost 2 year old with us and overall it was manageable (the stairs were challenging) but the yard and play set were perfect! The downstairs kitchen didn’t have a microwave, and it had very limited utensils and serving wear overall, which was inconvenient! The upstairs kitchen had a microwave and more kitchen utensils. There was plenty of parking in the back and the hot tub worked great and was warm! We really enjoyed our stay and would booked again! Thank you, Tony!

Charming Clean Home in Perfect Location
This home is so comfortable and charming. It's an upscale neighborhood with old mansions. Located just far enough off Bardstown Road, so you don't hear the traffic, it is very walkable to great restaurants, bars, and boutique shopping. We loved the two kitchens, and the huge dining room. In addition to the fenced back yard with solo firepit!

A clean and spacious home located in a fantastic neighborhood
We loved our stay in this beautiful, large historic home. The neighborhood is safe and boasts stunning architecture. It's within walking distance to numerous shops, restaurants, and nightlife spots. The house is beautifully decorated and much more spacious than we anticipated. It was exceptionally clean and equipped with all the amenities we could have asked for. The host was exceptional, and the check-in process was a breeze. We will definitely stay here again!

PGA Week
This is the 2nd time we've stayed at this property and it is 100% outstanding!! It's been renovated exceptionally well and is perfect for any number of uses. We had guests in and out over the course of the week to attend the PGA tournament and were able to walk to dinner, coffee, etc. If you need a place to stay in Louisville, this property will over-deliver on your expectations!!
Super easy to get in the house. Easy and convenient parking. The house is comfortable and clean. Everything we needed to cook was available and the nearby restaurants are a short walk away. 👍

These folks went out of their way to accommodate our group and was available for any questions. By far the most pleasant rental experience we've ever had. Would definitely recommend 1000%. Simply awesome!
Even better than the pictures! This location is outstanding, nestled in a historic district. The house boasts ample off-street parking, shines with cleanliness, and exudes charm and coziness while offering generous space. It's within walking distance to boutique shops, numerous dining, and cocktail venues. Having stayed in the Highlands previously, we greatly favor this side of the Highlands for its safety. The area is lively, yet free from the younger crowds found at the other end of the Highlands.
The Bonnycastle was perfect for our group of 8 adults (4 couples) to enjoy catching up and hang out. The location was ideal to walk to restaurants, coffee shops, and bars. Noche, just a couple blocks south on Bardstown Road was our favorite! We enjoyed the fire pit each night and loved the second floor kitchen and bourbon tasting room. Plenty of parking, safe neighborhood, kind neighbors and no issues being a bit noisy in the evening. Great time! Thank you!

Girls Trip! Amazing Location, fabulous home!
From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by how big and charming this place was. Two kitchens, and a massive dining table that fit all of us perfectly for meals and card games. The game room was a huge hit. The outdoor fire pit and back yard were used every single day. The kitchens had everything we needed, and the fenced yard was very private and made all the girls comfortable. I could keep going on about how much we loved this place and the area. The decor is even better in person than in the pictures! Tony and Christine were awesome to deal with too!
My friends and I had a long weekend and stayed here. We absolutely loved this place!
There are two kitchens if you get the whole house and each of the rooms were well decorated. The entire house was also very clean!
We were able to use the backyard also and it was so nice having multiple parking spots. We were about 15 min from all of our activities and walking around the neighborhood was absolutely beautiful! There are parks nearby that a couple of the ladies went running around.
All in all I would come back! Christine and Tony were extremely responsive and also provided recommendations in the app and also via text. Really appreciated them as our hosts!

New Year's Eve Getaway
Getting into the house was a piece of cake, and the private parking couldn't was so nice. Communication from the host was excellent. The place felt like a cozy home away from home, and it was spotlessly clean. We loved having all the kitchen essentials at our fingertips, which made whipping up meals a cinch. The best surprise was the backyard with its awesome fire pit – we loved spending evenings by the fire.
And let's talk about location! We could stroll to all those cool shops, restaurants, and bars nearby was a major win. We had a blast exploring the local scene without having to worry about parking or calling a cab. This spot's got it all!

Amazing Host - Beautiful Clean Home - Perfect Location
Tony, our host, was just amazing! Super friendly and always ready to help with anything we needed. Our group of 12 stayed at his gorgeous house and honestly, leaving was tough. The area is so charming and peaceful. Loved how it's just the right distance from Bardstown Rd - close enough to easily stroll to shops, eateries, and bars, but far enough to skip the noise.
The house having two kitchens was a total win for us. It was great to have the option to either keep things private or open up the space for everyone to mingle. Inside we loved the decor and how clean it was. And the backyard? Absolutely lovely. We had the best time making fires in the smokeless fire pit and soaking up that sweet Louisville summer weather. Plus, Safai coffee being just a few steps from the backyard was a major perk. Oh, and let's not forget the dedicated parking in the back - so convenient. We're already planning our next stay!
Perfect location and space for a family of 11. We were very comfortable and the 2 kitchens helped tremendously. The house has everything you would possibly need. The location is in walking distance from several unique dining and coffee shops . The owners were very accommodating for early check-in and quickly responded to any questions we had. Highly recommend!!!
We had the house for a wedding weekend in Louisville. The location was great, one block walk to Bardstown Road. We were three couples and had more than enough space. We had no complaints and would stay again.
