THE BARRET HOUSE, 2 floor luxury home, LOCATION! Downtown, HIGHLANDS, NuLu, EXPO



Welcome to Barret House – Your Perfect Louisville Home Base!

Whether you’re here to tour bourbon distilleries, attend a conference, catch the thrill of Churchill Downs, or just explore the unique charm of Louisville, Barret House is the ideal place to land.

Tucked in the heart of the Historic Highlands—one of Louisville’s safest and most walkable neighborhoods—you’ll be just steps away from everything that makes this city special. Here’s what you’ll love:
• A beautifully reimagined 3-bedroom, 2-bath home inside a classic Highlands duplex, offering space, comfort, and a touch of local flair
• Two fully equipped kitchens (yes, two!) plus a hide-a-bed and futon in the bright, upstairs lounge—perfect for families or groups
• Private parking pad in the back—a rare and welcome convenience in this area
• Only two blocks to Restaurant Row on Bardstown Road—walk to top-rated restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, boutiques, and more
• Quick access to downtown, the Bourbon Trail, museums, the riverfront, and beyond

A quick note: We thoughtfully combined two one-bedroom apartments into one inviting 3-bedroom space. One of the bedrooms is centrally located and a bit more open in design—it’s cozy, stylish, and thoughtfully set up with area rugs and throw pillows to create a welcoming retreat. And with two full bathrooms, you’ll have plenty of comfort and privacy.

Picture your group enjoying morning coffee on the front porch, strolling out for brunch, or gathering upstairs for a laid-back movie night in the open common area.

Barret House has Louisville charm, unbeatable location, and room to relax. We’d love to host your stay!

Great house in Louisville!

We had a great stay and loved the house! James was easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed. The house was clean and kitchen was stocked with snacks, coffee, and water bottles.We were a bit surprised to find that one of the bedrooms is just a queen bed in the down stairs common area (the house is split into 2 separate identical units). Luckily this wasn’t a big issue for our group, but the couple in that “bedroom” didn’t have much privacy. We enjoyed walking to the bars and restaurants nearby even in the cold weather!

Could Not Stay due to extreme weather - but host was excellent!

I am not able to fully rate the property, since we were unable to stay here due to the significant snowfall in Louisville. Despite that, I did want to pass along praise for the host, James! He was a great communicator throughout and incredibly helpful in every way! 5 stars for James and I hope to return and stay at this property and explore Louisville (without snow!!) in the future!

Ideal Location in Louisville

We had a lovely stay here for a few days. James is a communicative and enthusiastic host. The space is clean, spacious, and accommodates a flexible range of needs. As others mention, there is a bit of street noise, but it didn’t really affect us. Beds are comfortable and you’re a short walk from tons of attractions, restaurants, and bars. The architecture throughout the neighborhood is a museum in itself. Highly recommend this place!

Amazing house!

Rented this house for a long weekend to enjoy bourbon tours and opening night at Churchill downs and this place did not disappoint! Amazing location and even more amazing owners who were very welcoming and checked in on us during the weekend. House is excellent. Great design, updated, and well stocked. The owners even left us snacks and goodies! The location is perfect. Great neighborhood with an adorable bar across the street! We will come back and stay here again when our travels return us to Louisville!

Great house and communication

House was just as described and James was very easy to communicate with throughout the entire stay. It was nice to have a small bar across the street for an end of the night cocktail. It can get really noisy at night as mentioned in other reviews but nothing that a sound machine couldn't fix. Location was great as it was only 10 minutes or less to all the places we had on our list to visit. Overall a very nice house and would recommend to anyone wanting to visit the Louisville area.

Bourbon Weekend!

Three couples for a quick weekend, great place to stay. Close to downtown and so many cool spots right near the house. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to check those out because we already had so many plans. Property owner supplied all kinds of helpful information and extremely easy to work with. Two kitchens in the unit! Beds comfortable, lots of space. Was concerned about the noise potential given the location and other reviews, but didn’t bother us at all! Would definitely stay again.

A Great Fit

Really enjoyed our stay. The house is well suited for multiple families. We were in town with some friends for a baseball tournament. Friends took the lower level unit and we took the upper unit. Living room and dining room in upper unit were both big enough for all of us to visit together. Then, at the end of the evening, we had our own space. Communication with the host was excellent. We were a bit concerned about potential noise from the bar across the street but it was not an issue at all (at least on a M/Tu/Wed night) - a very friendly place as well. Breakfast at the nearby BBB was excellent. Street noise in the evening was not an issue. If you are light sleeper and trying to sleep late it could be a challenge. We really enjoyed our stay, the neighborhood was great, parking was easy, etc. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice house, good communication but very busy road/hard to sleep

Hi. The Barrett house was super cute, clean and well stocked with comfortable beds. The house sits on a main road with a couple of bars across the street. It was SO loud at night with cars, people, music and even fireworks for no apparent reason. The bedrooms are right beside the window and it was very very loud at night. Great communication with the host but noisemakers or something to drown out noise would be a must for me to stay again. Thanks.
