Bourbon Big Shot Mansion
In 1894 John Thompson Street Brown, bourbon innovator and aristocrat, built this 11,000 square foot Beaux Arts mansion for his large family. Now you can live like a bourbon big shot too! The mansion is elegantly finished throughout with spacious and finely appointed rooms. It is ideal for large groups with ample space to socialize and make excellent memories together. The mansion is also conveniently located for ease of access to all that Louisville has to offer.

Beautiful and Spacious
Me and about 13 women stayed here for my bachelorette party. We loved the house and it became one of the main talking points of the trip. It’s beautiful. It has some original finishes from the late 1800s but has been updated where needed, although it maintains the charm of an old mansion. It’s very clean and spacious. It’s not like cramming a bunch of beds into one room so the host can say it sleeps more people. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms so that we felt like we all had plenty of space. The owner is very responsive and will even meet you at check-in to go over the history of the house and to show you how things work. I highly recommend this property.

Celebration trip
Fantastic historical home and our host Thomas was super. We came here as 16 adults celebrating a milestone birthday and there was plenty of room for all of us. Wish we would have done the guided walking tour of the neighborhood but ran out of time! Home has all the basic needs covered but could use a few spices in the cabinet for cooking. Thomas lives in the neighborhood so gave us some great recommendations for dining. Would come back again.

40th Bday Bourbon Trail
This was a great place for a group of 15 to stay! We had enough bedrooms for everyone, everyone had a bed and no one shared rooms with another couple. It was clean and had enough bathrooms. It was very easy to Uber from here to head down to Whiskey Row or ride scooters around town. The host gave a tour with some history of the house which many of our party appreciated! if you're looking for a fun, unique experience in Old Louisville, this house is it!

Best in Bourbon
What a phenomenal house! Not only is it enormous (making life so easy on 14 guests), but there are very cozy areas for hanging out and the utilities across the property were perfect. This property also has very cool Bourbon history which ties it in so nicely to bourbon county. The only minor miss was a lower-than-expected number of drinking vessels (water/liquor), but you can always buy plastics nearby. Overall this was a phenomenal stay, 14/14 would recommend.

An amazing property!
Stayed here with a group of friends for a Bachelor's party and it was the perfect house for our Louisville stay! The Big Shot Bourbon Mansion was super impressive, with what seemed like an endless number rooms and larger than life antique details. Good central location to get to many neighborhoods in Louisville.

Bourbon trail
We had 7 couples stay at the house. Excellent location awesome kitchen and open sitting area for cooking and conversation. 3rd floor loft great for watching sports with a kitchen for beverages. Beds were comfortable. Great Host quick response and when one of the wives left her ear buds he found them and mailed them. Very nice of him

Stunning Stay
The Big Shot Mansion did not disappoint, as our group was impressed from the moment we arrived. Perfect blend of old school charm and modern amenities. Plenty of room for 10 guys to spread out or gather together. 10 minutes to all Louisville attractions. Host was welcoming and informative. Would love to stay again. Thanks!
