The Neighborhood

Vela’s Villa, House of Faith is part of a private little neighborhood within a neighborhood–a group of four houses sharing the same lot, located a block away from historic Harlan, Kentucky’s downtown. Nestled in a valley in the ancient and enchanted Appalachian Mountains. Great walking community!!

Getting around

You can walk to a few local restaurants, the river and parks! This house is great because you are in a very rural area, but you are within two blocks of historical downtown Harlan. So you get the quaint town experience with out being isolated.

Other Things to Note

Make sure you BYOB because this town is Moist (semi dry (although alcohol is legal to have and consume alcohol within your private dwelling)). Two restaurant currently serve alcohol The Portal (pizzeria) and Ken & Paul's Family Steakhouse. Moist defined: with regard to the sale of alcohol, Harlan is classified as a moist county—a county in which alcohol sales are prohibited (a dry county), but containing a 'wet' city, in this case Cumberland and Lynch, where package alcohol sales are allowed. In the city of Harlan, restaurants seating 100+ may serve alcoholic beverages.

House had all that we needed for our trip. Some of the bedding wasn’t clean and needed to be washed after our arrival. Hosts were very good about communicating.

Plenty of space for a family. Adequate furnishings in kitchen to fix meals. I found parking confusing, as the streets are one-way.

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy
The house had not been cleaned in who knows how long. The bottom of the bathtub was black and the tub mat was black as well. Floors were dirty. You could not take your shoes off without your feet or socks turning black. The first time I reached out about it not being cleaned, they acted like they would have someone come clean it the next day. The next day when I messaged about checking out early due to the homes condition, they never responded and no one had showed up to clean when we left. I would not recommend staying here as the pictures that are posted are very deceiving.

Nice place to start from in the morning and return to after spending the day on a mountain.

I was very pleased with the hospitality, having a wash room to use, and great kitchen, too. Could relax a little watching streaming channels, too.
