New! The Old Timer - 5BR/4.5BA - Hot Tub! Historic!

Summary:
Step back in time in this fully restored pre Civil War Row House! Careful attention to detail was taken to ensure this historic property had all of its character preserved while receiving modern appointments and amenities! Plenty of room to gather and entertain, and do NOT miss this outdoor space with a brand new hot tub ready for your enjoyment. ALL of this - nestled in the city of Louisville with entertainment and attractions just outside your front door. This. Is. The Place.

The Space:
If these walls could talk...

"I was built in 1860. My walls have stood long before you were born and hopefully I'll be here long after you pass. I was built with American ingenuity during the growth of this country in its early stages - especially in Louisville. I've stood through many wars, numerous inventions and ways of travel that have changed society, a devastating flood in 1937, countless eras of history, and so much more.

I've been a feed mill, a saloon, a grocery store, a restaurant, and an antique store. As you walk my halls and rooms you will see homage paid to the various eras and days gone by. Some of these are important to the growth and development of my city even still to this day. My new owners didn't try to hide all of my wear and tear over time. They've saved everything that was original, and preserved, everything that was original for you to enjoy and admire the hard work of those who invented, constructed and built the foundations, civilizations and comforts we now have today, and take for granted as we've never known life without them - and can't imagine a life as the world was when I was built"

This space has undergone a full, no expenses spared, renovation with an eye for detail aimed toward keeping all of the historic features in tact. You will not find another space quite like this; Modern convenience and history harmoniously married in a stay that is truly an experience!

Enjoy multiple gathering spaces both outdoors and in! Have your coffee on the elevated side porch or enjoy a relaxing evening under the lights in the hot tub - or gather with friends and family for a meal and darts or foosball! Something for everyone, not a detail overlooked.

5 private bedrooms - 4.5 baths - room for everyone to get ready for a night out and room for everyone to recharge.

Parking - off street parking is available on nights and weekends along the side of the building. (a local business owner is kind enough to share). In the rare event off street parking isn't available, you can park right alongside on the street, it's free!

Charming house
Group of 8 in town for Bourbon Trail tours. Plenty of room for everyone. Large kitchen and living area for everyone to gather. Beds were comfortable and could not hear noise from other bedrooms. Could hear the train, but came prepared with ear plugs, thanks to other reviews. Not a huge deal, but a little inconvenient...not enough towels. One bath towel per person, no hand towels, less than one wash cloth per person, no towels for hot tub, and no kitchen towels or dish cloths.

Great place to drink and trash
I would absolutely recommend this place if you are looking for a giant party space with a hot tub as it seems that is it’s main purpose. Things were broken and missing in every room. Broken glass on the floor in the kitchen, shower curtain in claw foot tip torn out of the ceiling, broken glass picture shoved under a bed, towel racks torn off wall, thermostat broken in top floor the list goes on. Host does not respond through messenger platform through the app to any issues and I would never take my family there again. But if you plan on getting piss drunk and wrecking the place this is the spot for you as it doesn’t appear the host checks in or fixes anything or has any idea what state it is left in or does any real cleaning between guests.

Nice place
Great place with lots of character. Only minor slight was the lack of communication with the owner. Had a question that was never responded to and did not receive any communication until the day we checked in. Other than that it was a great place

Great property for basketball tourn week
We stayed for one week for a basketball tournament. Plenty of room for our needs and provided space to make and eat meals on site and not have to eat out every meal. We really enjoyed the property and would definitely return. Logan Street Mkt and Toasty’s Tavern were also great places to grab a bite and within walking distance. The train didn’t bother us, as we brought earplugs. Such a unique property with lots of character.

Great visit
Beautiful renovation. Worked out perfectly for our group of 8 adults. Plenty of space and privacy for all. Lots of fun places to eat and drink within walking distance or a quick drive. Train tracks are close but we had seen the review mentioning that so came prepared with earplugs. Would book again!

5 stars all around for this property. Beautifully renovated and attention to every detail. So much space for all of us to spread out. Couldn’t have asked for anything better. We will be back next year for another bourbon trail visit!

Super cool house!
I booked this house for a family gathering. Three couples, one single adult, a toddler and two babies. It was spacious and allowed everyone their own privacy but also plenty of room to gather together. Highly recommend checking out the local area - cool marketplace and a couple parks just a block or two away, other niche shops close by too. If you enjoy libations, like we do, the liquor store, and the brewery right across the street was super convenient!!

This was a great place for a group of guys, not sure it would be great for family… It is noisy, the front street, as well as the train usually goes by a couple times a night. Definitely not for seniors, with all the steep stairs. Lots of room, all the amenities you need.

Awesome accommodation!
This property provided everything our group of 4 couples look for in a VRBO. Lots of space, plenty of bathrooms so multiple ladies can get ready at the same time, the game room was enjoyable. The best part was the huge kitchen island that can seat your entire group!
