Very close to Louisville!

Very quaint house. We just needed some Rooms for sleeping after exploring Louisville. Not within walking distance of anything, but everything was within a 10 minute drive. We were supplied with less than half a roll of toilet paper and zero paper towels but it wasn’t the end of the world. Beds were comfy and the house was clean!

Wedding

We booked this house for family members coming in for a wedding in Louisville. It was a convenient location to be near Louisville but more affordable prices. Jeffersonville had all we needed for any shopping. The house could have been a little cleaner for our preference but was still comfortable. Overall it served our purposes

Looks are definitely deceiving.

It’s a very old house that has been remodeled to look good in photographs but it’s not that nice. I wouldn’t recommend staying here. It worked well for an inexpensive stay for work. Would rate it 5 out of 10. Hopefully you don’t mind squirrels in the attic.

perfect for our weekend meet on louisville campus

Our family needed a place to sleep, eat and relax when our 2 kids were not swimming on campus. We were driving in for the weekend and were unfamiliar with the downtown & campus areas of louisville - they seemed hit or miss for noise, location, etc - we looked at listings across the river and we're so glad we did. This house was perfect for our needs - each of our teens had their own room, we had plenty of food options in cute little Jeffersonville, and the drive to campus was short and easy. The house is not on a fancy street but it turned out to be safe, quiet and really well located which is exactly what we wanted. Overall communication/response was quick and helpful. Huge shoutout to Dana who was amazing. Best. host. ever.

One night layover.

It is a fine place to stay in Jeffersonville for a night. It’s an old house that was seemingly self renovated. It showed its age a little. We were there in the coldest possible weather (-6*F) and the lack of insulation in the floor was evident. But that’s an extreme temperature for the area. The neighborhood is not a nice location, but we didn’t feel unsafe either. It’s just and older house in a commercial area. We liked the open space and the water was nice and hot for a shower. For the price, it’s a good place to stay for a few nights. Owner was nice and communicated even when I was being frustrating I’m sure. I had a little confusion with the door code. But he never seemed irritated, though it would have been easy for him to have gotten irritated with me.

Just enough

This was a beautiful house on the inside, but it is in an interesting area. Only three houses on the block, the one next door appeared as if they were setting it up for another vacation rental home, the other house appears to be a family house but the yard was very over grown so hard to see, across from the three houses is a brick, industrial building, so just a very odd place to have 3 random houses. The inside of those house was great but could definitely use a real deep cleaning, things like the shower door, corners of the bathroom, the couch, dusting etc. There is no where in the bedrooms to set your items. There are just shelves that already have things on them. We were only there for a few days so we made it work, but definitely could be frustrating if you are staying longer. Also no washcloths, just towels, and the hot and cold water in the shower are backwards.We got in super late the first night and one of us ended up taking a cold shower, I was going to reach out to the property manager before we figured out the dial was opposite. Overall it seems like they put work into updating the house but went the cheapest way possible when it came to furnishings or anything else. Again we made this all work, we were there for a quick trip and out of the house most of the time visiting family.

Could have been a cute place!

I am from the Jeffersonville area and returned this Christmas for the holiday. I rented this property as I have an annual nieces and nephews holiday party. This year we have welcomed 2 babies and I chose this place so we could have multiple bedrooms for the babies and room for a board game day. Pictures of the place were likely from when the place was renovated which looked very cute. I received directions to the property 24 hours prior to check in date. I never received a confirmation directly from property manager I had to reach out to him. The check in process was super easy. Upon entry to house it had been cleaned. The manager did reach out to me to ask me to move laundry from washer to dryer which was not a problem. The living room seems dingy. It seemed to have a random dining table and 2 chairs that were not picture and chairs seemed dirty to me. Small area of floor was peeling. Kitchen island had pieces missing from it. The place does have a dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer. The walls of kitchen and living room had nicks on the walls. You could tell they had tried to spot paint as from an angle could see the difference of paint. Bedrooms were clean but no table lamps at bedside only overhead lighting. Upon my complaint, the manager did offer to buy lamps and bring them over. The bathroom was the worse. The counter drawer front came off when I tried opening it. The whole bathroom cabinet/counter seemed water logged. The shower floor near the sliding door was dirty and the window above cabinet was gross. No blow dryer in bathroom. The place did allow dogs which is nice and I am not suggesting uncleaniness was from animals. Overall I was not comfortable at this place. It looked as if it had been used as a party house and not at all what I needed it for or what it looked like in the pictures. We did not stay and I asked for at the least, a one night refund which I was told was not his policy. The manager did say that they tried to keep the price low which was a bonus and I understand that but I think the place needs to be deeply cleaned and repainted to make it more of what it looked like in the online pictures. Wished this would of worked out but I didn’t feel comfortable. Good place for Derby weekend or people that like to party. Nonway to attach the photos I took.
