Stayed at the property for a long weekend with my Mom, Sister-in-law, and nieces. Check in was easy with contact via email and phone. Upon arrival, nice parking for our two vehicles. Maybe I didn’t read the description of the property carefully enough, but I didn’t realize the hill to the property was so steep. Thankfully, we are all able-bodied and able to carry all of our items up the hill from the parking area. Outside of the property was very overgrown with the fountain not in working condition, decking had peeling paint and warped and rotting boards, lots of weeds growing up in the landscaping with debris in the yard. On the plus side, nice deck furniture which allowed us to spend lots of time hanging out outside! Inside, we were thankful to see that the house was clean with lots of lovely character! Once upstairs, we found that the door to the hall bathroom wouldn’t close, and therefore, couldn’t be locked. Also, some drywall had been patched in the bathroom but not repainted. In the on-suite bathroom, the sink bowl was no longer fully attached to the wall and was being supported from underneath by a shower rod. In the kitchen, the refrigerator light was burned out, a cabinet door was not able to close properly due to missing screws. There were plenty of dishes, eating utensils, coffee for the coffee maker, dish soap, and towels which was lovely. The location of the property is great with lots of nice options for food and shopping within walking distance.

Grandma, grandpa, daughters, a son-in-law, a 4 yr old, 3 yr old, 1 yr old, and 11 month old! We loved the large couch for family time and cuddles with grandbabies, the sunroom became our playroom, the dining table was large for enjoying meals, lots of bedroom space, outdoor seating for bourbon and cigars, and grandma and grandpa had their own cottage!

This place was the perfect location to be right in the heart of the Bourbon Trail and Downtown Louisville. The property owner was great with communication and responding to questions we had. The sleeping space for our entire group was enough to let everyone sleep comfortably. I highly recommend this property for this who are trying to experience Louisville in a nice location.

The house was greatness! Its located in a super convenient part of town. It was about a 10 minute / $15 Uber to downtown and about 40 minutes to Bardstown. We had (8) adults and the house had plenty of room for us all. The hosts were super helpful and awesome to work with along the way.

We enjoyed our stay at this unique 100+ year old home. It worked out fantastic for our group that was in town for the Kentucky Derby. The "cottage" worked out great for the younger adults in our group. The home is nicely updated yet retains the charm of days gone by. Our host, Leslie, was fantastic, checking in before and during our stay to answer any questions and provide guidance, if needed. A++++

Great trip!

Loved having the cottage for part of the family who like the temperature cooler. We made a wonderful family dinner for 8 and the stocked kitchen worked out well. Wish there was a hand mixer though. Thanks to Leslie for keeping me updated on the tornado.. even though it was fast away.

The weekend that we decided to travel to Louisville, a winter weather system was planned to move through over the state dropping over 3 inches of snow. Due to a problem with the water lines, we were not able to stay in the Crescent Hill house but Leslie's connections in the area enabled us to still be able to stay in the city. We got to enjoy the sights and sounds of the area and even took a bourbon tour. Thank you again Leslie for all of your help! We will definitely be coming back in the summer.

Property exceeded all expectations. Pictures of the property are accurate. Nice and cozy home, with plenty space and accessory's. Bunk house was nice as well. Outdoor fire place made the stay perfect. House backs up to a large field, so no neighbor noise. 5 Stars for the stay!

Nice place!

The outdoor space was great with a grill and gas fire you can sit around. The living room is big enough for large groups to enjoy. The house is a bit older and the bathrooms especially show their age. But the house has all the essentials you need and plenty of beds for large groups.

Leslie was a great host and very responsive to our needs. The house and property is very old. The guest house has an AC unit and keeps it cold, with lots of beds. Location was great, but required a short drive to downtown and other districts. Grill worked great, had coffee pot. The out door seating area is nice. The deck is a little rough around the edges but gets the job done. Overall pleasant stay.

We had three families meet here for a weekend. We used to all live in close by but are now far across the country from each other. The house was just perfect and the kitchen has a wonderful array of pots and pans - more than I have ever seen in a rental. The ac worked amazingly well. It was a wonderful and relaxing weekend! Also loved meeting the property manager. She was so helpful and made check in a breeze! She was also very prompt whenever we had a question. Would definitely stay here again.
