Great communication! Property was just as described, the kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. The bedding and beds were comfortable. The property had a washer and dryer available in the basement but our visit was short and we didn't use them - definitely nice to have for a longer stay! If we are in the area again, this will be where we stay. Easy to get downtown and to the airport. Thanks for a wonderful trip to Louisville!

Bourbon Trail

Our group of 6 adults came down from NE Indiana to experience the Bourbon Trail. We picked this property based off of location and where we were visiting. We were all pleasantly surprised by the convenience of the property and the cleanliness. The house was very nice with a lot of modern updates. We had plenty of room for 3 couples to have their own space and the living/kitchen/dining areas had room for all of us to be in one central location for dinners and games and such. We had everything we needed to cook at the house and the outdoor space was nice too. We would all stay here again

STAY HERE IF YOU WANT CRAZY NEIGHBORS TO HARRASS YOU PRETENDING TO BE FROM HOMEBASE!

This is a beautiful home, in a beautiful, quiet, neighborhood, & it looks exactly like the pictures. There are no issues with the home itself. However, at 1:30 am in the pouring rain, a white male & female neighbor came to the house to tell us that Homebase sent them to kick us out bc we had too many ppl & we were parked on "their" grass. The man proceeds to ask how we got in "his" garage, and I explained that the door was unlocked, but no one was in there. We placed a table in it earlier, but we took it out. The lady was on the phone with someone so I legit thought she was from Homebase, so I explained that we were doing nothing wrong, and had the cars moved off the grass. The street is narrow, so we didn't want to block cars from being able to get through. I contacted Vrbo & they gave me the "property owners" number & before I could call her, I received a text at 10:29 stating that the grounds staff told her we hadn't vacated the home. We left at 10:00 am sharp with video proof that we were gone, & the house was empty & spotless. I proceeded to ask her why Homebase sent someone to kick us out & she had no clue what I was talking about & that she would have the "Property Manager" call me, but I never got a call. Vrbo proceeded to give me the "Property Managers" number, but it was the same as the "Owner" I don't know what these people are on, but I'd never rent this property again, with nosing, lying neighbors trying to kick us out & received no help whatsoever.

A nice place to stay

We enjoyed our stay here, but there were a couple things that left it short of 5 stars: 1) honestly it's kind of creepy. The basement is clean, but also very eerie. It would be avoidable except for the giant floor vent in the middle of the house that you can see the basement from. We also didn't feel awesome about the "bedroom" that is accessible by the front door (no one wanted to sleep in that room) 2) The microwave didn't work and when we reached out, we got a message that they would check, but never did or ever communicated with us again. It wouldn't have been a big deal if we hadn't planned a chill night with microwave popcorn. The main concern was with their lack of addressing it. But the house was clean, there were comfortable beds, and it was sufficient space for the 5 of us. There was coffee and coffee makers, nicely decorated (except the butler statue which was a little creepy ;) ) and it was close to the location of our conference.
