Beautiful Home Away from Home
Our family travelled to KY for some much needed family time. This home was perfect and easily accommodated 6 adults and 4 children. Everyone commented that this home truly made us feel welcomed and that they felt that they could really relax. Melissa went above and beyond to make our visit special and we are so thankful for the memories that were made during this visit. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home, Melissa!

First Class Experience
Greatly enjoyed our stay in the Louisville horse country. House is new, designer quality and every room is well appointed - just like the pictures. Plenty of room for large group/family. Great location/surrounding area with easy access. Outdoor area also great and spent a lot of time on back porch enjoying the view. Tons of birds - hummingbirds, cardinals, blue jays, etc. and very peaceful. Melissa was a great host, flexible, and easy text communication. We had a family wedding in the area, but also enjoyed golf courses, downtown, Churchill Downs, etc. We have rented many homes on Homeaway and this one is very highly recommended.

Modern, clean open home in beautiful neighborhood, with awesome games and backyard
Pool table and ping pong table and mini side by side basketball make this place so much fun to stay at. Great sound options for music, great tvs for watching movies and shows, and a great backyard for Frisbee and boccee ball. Amazing back porch with fan to enjoy a hot day on. Very clean, and nice condition rooms. Perfectly sized kitchen and open concept. Thanks Melissa!
