This house is in a nice location and had charm and nice upgrades in the kitchen. However, the description of beds for each bedroom was incorrect. There are only two bedrooms that have queen beds. The third bedroom is the size of a closet and has a single bed - the description states there is a king bed… that was not found. We, unfortunately traveled with 3 couples who are all tall and were led to believe there were three bedrooms as listed in the description.The house had a window in the upstairs bedroom that had open air due to the window being old and receding from the frame which made that bedroom very warm. They tried to rectify by adding an air conditioning unit but that caused the room to have extra moisture and a very uncomfortable sleeping experience. The house smelled of stale smoke and the beds were very uncomfortable. I would not choose this rental again.

Cozzy and roomy

Everything you could need is here. Very clean. I would recommend if you are vertically challenged like myself you bring a step stool if you are planning to get in the master bed. I stayed here because it was pet friendly and I was being my dog to Louisville for a surgery. It was perfect for what we needed.

Lots of potential, but needs work

This was a family trip to the Bourbon Trail, and was an excellent location. It’s a beautiful home with great potential. While we greatly appreciated the appliances and amenities, the cost of those could have been better spent in the vein of privacy and comfort. The description of the beds misrepresented what was actually found. We have a 6’8” traveler, so a solid king bed is a necessity, and a day bed with a trundle is not that. Only after deep-diving into the listing did we realize that was the case. With very sheer curtains on some of the windows and no curtains at all on others, we felt like everything we were doing inside was on display for all to see. The master bath, while aesthetically pleasing, had several issues. The lack of A/C made a summer vacation miserable while in the bathroom. Beautiful shower, but horrible water pressure. Something has made its home behind one of the walls. Other upstairs bathroom has a blind that doesn’t go to the bottom of the window, so people can see in while using the bathroom or before or after showering. There is a gap on the bottom of the side door big enough for spiders and roaches to come in. With a shift in priorities, this could be an outstanding place to stay.

Absolutely loved it and yes we will rent it again !!!
