This house has lots of room for large gatherings. We were here for a graduation and could accommodate all of our guest from several different states. The only downfall for our group is that we had a handicap guest and the house is not wheelchair accessible (it was built in the 1800s so the doorways are narrow) but that didn’t deter us from having an amazing weekend.

Fantastic home for large groups. 12 of us did the bourbon trail over five days. Patio was nice for gathering outside after a long day. Centrally located to the bourbon trail. 20 minutes from downtown Louisville. Owners were great to communicate with. House was clean and as described.

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.
