The main house features a gourmet kitchen with butler's pantry featuring 2 refrigerators, 2 wall ovens, 3 dishwashers, a Viking gas cook top, wine cooler and Carrera marble counters. The living room features multiple comfortable conversation areas, an antique baby grand piano and wood-burning fireplace. The large dining room can accommodate your entire group. Also, the large sun room offers an additional, less formal gathering space, and has a 64" TV.

The property was beautiful, there was 13 of us staying with plenty of room. The host was available and responded immediately when I needed them.The weather was a bit chilly so we couldn't enjoy the pool. The pool house was nice and located very close to the main house. The location was excellent and within 20 minutes from every where we wanted to visit. I would definitely come back!

This is an incredible estate! The house is amazing, and the pool is perfect for lounging and playing with kids. Each morning and night we saw several deer traipsing through the yard, and the front lawn is huge, Big enough to play lots of games. You’re super close to downtown Louisville if you want to venture out, but you won’t need to, we stayed for 4 days and we never felt the need to leave.

The home was beautiful. Indoor and outdoor flow worked well for large gatherings. The dining room was large enough for entire family to enjoy nightly dinners. The pool had a baby section that allowed smaller children to play but still be close to adults. Pool area was awesome.

Ten of us enjoyed the privacy and luxury of Stonecote’s accommodations. We spent 7 nights with a fantastic amount of interior space and outdoor seating areas. The kitchen exceeded our needs even though we had such a large group. Our hosts were immediately accessible both for local information and a couple of easily remedied issues. Our best VRBO experience in the last 5 years !

Had a wonderful stay at the beautiful property located 9 minutes away from the Lynn Family Stadium.
Pool house was beautiful and we will be returning with our extended family to make use of this spacious house. Fully equipped with everything needed that makes a house a home.

Our group of 6 couples enjoyed 4 fabulous nights at Stonecote. The house is beautiful, spacious, and extremely well-stocked with everything guests might need. There was ample room to gather at the dining table, in various places in the house, and on the front and back porches overlooking the lovely grounds. We had lots of fun preparing meals in the enormous kitchen and butler's pantry. We took full advantage of the 2 refrigerators, beverage refrigerator, and ice machine. The 3 dishwashers made clean up easy! The location was perfect for us! The house is a short walk to the park with lots of green space while still being only 20 minutes or less drive from everything else in and around the city. Our hosts were helpful and responsive during the reservation process and welcoming, gracious, and attentive during our stay. We felt incredibly well cared for and knew that - if we needed it - help was just a phone call away. There are many reasons why this property has so many 5-star reviews! It was truly one of the very best VRBO experiences I have ever had. Thank you, Lisa and Keith!

Outstanding property and host. Highly recommended.

The property was amazing with all the southern charm and beautiful grounds. Lots of amenities provided. Keith was wonderful. Any problem was responded to immediately. The pool was the highlight with the kids and adults alike. The boys played baseball in the spacious front yard while we sat on the front porch. It is such a beautiful property and would highly recommend it. We would love to come back.

We all said it was better than the pictures!! Spacious home. Clean, well-equipped and the hosts were very responsive. We had a couple little issues and Keith came right over to address. Beds were all very comfortable, kitchen was wonderful, and the salt-water pool with the fans to sit under was perfect. Multiple large game and sitting areas. We will definitely consider renting this again.

My family loved staying at Stonecote. The property was able to accommodate a diverse group of 14, ranging in age from 18 to 91. It was comfortable, clean and beautiful. The neighborhood and its proximity to Cherokee Park was fantastic.

This house was everything we were looking for and more. It was the perfect location to celebrate our parents 50th wedding anniversary. The pool, the house, the grounds...everything was exactly what we needed for our large group!
10.0
Gorgeous home and beautiful property. We had 13 people, ages 7-77 and everyone was comfortable. Clean, nice linens, well stocked kitchen, and great communication before, during and after our stay. Highly recommend. The pictures don’t do it justice.

Everything about our stay was amazing. Lisa and Keith were the perfect hosts.
The house was homey for our entire family. The pool was a great bonus.
If you are looking to stay with a smaller or larger group, look no further. If you are in Louisville ti visit the Bourbon Trail and Whiskey Row the location is perfect.
We own a wedding venue and also rent out a Manor House for our guests and learned some things to do for our guests from Lisa and Keith.
If I can give them more then 5 stars, I would in every category.

Property owners were excellent to work with and the house was absolutely amazing! 4 couples were in town for my dad's 75th birthday celebration on the Bourbon Trail, and coming home each evening to an immaculate well equipped property was ideal for all of us! Would definitely recommend!
10.0
We had a wonderful weekend with two families on this beautiful property! It's convenient to almost everything, yet the neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, surrounded my other elegant homes. We had a lot of fun in Louisville, but our favorite memories are just hanging out at the house together. We only wish the pool had been open, but it was still a litttle too chilly!
10.0
Not only was this property beautiful, but it was the perfect spot for our family get together. We had families from all over the US and were looking for a place to gather that would accommodate us and our crew. Stonecote fit us wonderfully. Comfortable bedrooms and great gathering areas. The kitchen was big and worked well for our big group.

Stonecote is a beautiful and extremely comfortable home for our extended family. We had 14 people ages 13-83 staying over Christmas and we all appreciated the excellent beds, fully equipped kitchen, grand spaces to gather and multiple rooms for retreating. Lisa and Keith were welcoming and super responsive. Thanks for a great week!

We had an amazing few days at Stonecote with our group of friends. Our group was in town for a football game and a couple of days on the Bourbon Trail. Lisa and Keith communicated beforehand with details and answered questions during our stay promptly. The home was well stocked and beautifully decorated with everything we needed during the trip. Multiple refrigerators, dishwashers and ovens made the kitchen ideal for cooking and gathering. The location in a quiet neighborhood was great and within 20 minutes of the airport and downtown.

This is a wonderful home for a large family in a beautiful setting. It is clean and comfortable and we could not have ask a for a better place to gather with our family! I highly recommend this home and hope we can stay here again.
The kitchen is well stocked and the location is close to many stores.
The owners were so nice to communicate with through all the planning and check in was easy and informative.

I booked this property for a group trip that my friends and I like to take every 2 years, and couldn't have been happier with our experience. The house is beautiful, and in a fantastic location to see both Louisville and the surrounding area (should a bourbon trail tour be of interest).
The owners were great with communication through the entire process and very helpful with everything. I would definitely book here again and recommend to anyone looking for a house for a larger group.

I cannot begin to express how perfect our stay was in Louisville and in this gorgeous house! The house is beautiful! We had 6 couples in Louisville to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday and hit the bourbon trail. House was perfect! We all enjoyed the pool, the pool house, watching the deer in the yard, the well equipped kitchen, sitting on the beautiful front porch and the comfortable private bedrooms. The house is very clean and is in a perfect location. We have a very particular group and no one wanted to leave! Thank you to Lisa and Keith for being incredible hosts and for helping make it a trip that will remembered for a long time! We hope to be back again.

This was the perfect size for our large extended family celebrating a few 80th birthdays. The property was spacious and the added accommodation from the pool house was just perfect for everyone to have their own rooms. The beds were very comfortable. We did have a few issues but we communicated them to the owners and they were quick to respond and address our concerns. They were very friendly and easy to communicate with as they lived just a short distance away. The location was perfect for our group to go on distillery tours, museum tours and Churchill Downs.
It was also a great house to use the pool, play games and cards and cook all together as it accommodated our large number without feeling crowded. The weather was just perfect during our stay.

We absolutely loved our stay. House was perfect for our work group of 10. The kitchen was amazing and had all that you need and more. Plenty of room inside to have our meetings and relax. Outdoor area is fantastic. We saw lots of wildlife and the grounds are large and lush. We went for a walk in the neighborhood down to a beautiful park. Can’t say enough about this house. Communication with owners was seamless. Great base for our bourbon tour as well!
Definitely coming back!
