Recent Louisville guest reviews

We stayed 5/14-5/21/26. The house is charming and very well maintained. A beautiful deck and hot tub overlooking a wooded back area led to mornings starting with bird songs! Our hosts were very easy to contact and responded quickly. Nicely equipped kitchen gave us the option to prepare meals. Country setting with just a short drive to main thruways. Would highly recommend

What you'll love about Louisville

The Urban Bourbon Trail and historic Whiskey Row give Louisville a genuine claim to bourbon country's best experiences, and Churchill Downs delivers far more than two minutes of racing — Derby season takes over the whole city. NuLu and the Highlands have quietly become one of the South's most interesting dining scenes, and between the Muhammad Ali Center, the Louisville Slugger Museum, Victorian Old Louisville, and the live music, there's real depth here.

Fun things to do

  1. Tour a working bourbon distillery on the Urban Bourbon Trail
  2. Visit Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby Museum year-round
  3. Explore the Muhammad Ali Center's world-class exhibits
  4. Swing a bat (or snap a photo) at the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory
  5. Stroll Whiskey Row's buzzing bars, restaurants, and boutiques
  6. Paddle or walk along the scenic Ohio River waterfront
  7. Discover underground adventure at Louisville Mega Cavern
  8. Browse local art galleries and shops in the NuLu arts district
  9. Catch live music at Fourth Street Live! or the KFC Yum! Center
  10. Take a ghost tour through hauntingly beautiful Old Louisville
