Adorable house!

We had so much fun at our stay! The house was nicely decorated, very clean and organized. Our group spent most of our time hanging out in the garage which was great! Perfect location for the distilleries we visited. I would definitely recommend this home.

Stayed here with family. We had a great time! A car is definitely needed, but the house is located close to shopping, restaurants and Louisville attractions. My family and I appreciated all the games in the garage, if you get back from an excursion and still want to play it’s great! We had a mix of weather from snow, thunderstorms and sunny days. The host is readily available for any questions and there is a coffee bar with everything you’ll need and snacks. I had a hard time finding anything missing. I usually bring a night light for the bathroom with me because my eyes are sensitive to sudden bright lights, so that’s all I was missing but not normally provided, so everything was wonderful. Highly recommend for your stay in Louisville. Jeannie S.

Emily's Wedding Weekend

We had a fabulous time staying at Derby City Retreat! The house is brand new and kept so clean. Little details that make a big difference like leaving wood for us to use in the fire pit and travel size shampoo etc are such nice touches and very appreciated. We had the most fun in the game room playing numerous ping ping games and video games. Thank you for allowing us to stay here. Super clean and very easy to communicate with the owner!

Fun, relaxing property for family & friend time!

Can’t say enough about this property. This gorgeous house was stocked with pretty much anything you’d need! There were so many fun activities available onsite. All instructions regarding the property were perfectly explained and the host responded to questions quickly! Even though travel sized toiletries were supplied, I’d highly recommend bringing your own if staying for longer than one night. The house was located close to grocery stores, restaurants, etc. The back yard was spacious and a great place to hangout. Can’t wait to come back again!! It’s worth every penny!! Highly recommend!!

Visiting friends

I took my daughter down to KY with my father and a friend of mine so my daughter could visit some friends she hadn’t seen since 2019. She spent the majority of the weekend with them while the adults did some distillery visits. The house provided more than enough room and comfort and was close to the highway. Downtown Louisville was a quick drive. Would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for a fair priced home close to many attractions. The owners were very responsive to any questions and had a very detailed book that contained house rules and had information about places to visit and eateries. 5 stars easily.

Family trip/Anniversary

The house itself was amazing, and everything in it was amazing too. We loved it. The only problem we had was getting to the house with it being so far back in behind the other house it makes it hard to and the main street is horrible we almost got hit from behind twice because trying to pull into the driveway.
