This property is lovely - mansion sitting on several acres of wooded land with grassy knolls. There are plenty of bedrooms including two on the first floor. A concern, however, is that there is no full bathroom on the main floor which makes it challenging for anyone who has mobility challenges. Also, the kitchen, although well equipped, needed organizing. The beds are comfy and the patio area was lovely for outside conversations. It's only 20 minutes from Louisville city center which is nice.

The property was a perfect fit for our group of 8 guys in town for Bourbon & Beyond - it was a bit off the beaten track but great for relaxing and reconnecting for a group of 65 year old high school buddies.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Juli 2025
We needed a large space to hold us all so we thought a cheerful 8 bedroom mansion would be perfect. And it was large enough but it needs a lot of TLC. Cheerful isn’t how I would describe it but I’m sure it has a lot of history. It could be a great property. The host is quick to respond to problems. The kitchen was well stocked with things we needed for cooking but had to wash everything before we used it. The gas grill was awesome. The top oven not great. Kitchen fridge didn’t get cold enough but the laundry room fridge was spot on. Lots of problems with house but it’s a house from the 1800’s so that’s to be expected. We did have a good time but the beds in house are terrible so don’t expect a good nights sleep. The youngest cousin had to sleep in a room with no AC. The window unit wouldn’t blow cold air in that room. Like I said we had a good time but I would find something worth 3K for 2 days next time.
