About this property

Louisville Group Home | Sleeps 20 | Walkable Germantown | Mins to Expo Center

  • Twenty people, one house, and nobody sleeping on the floor. Bourbon House 3 is a 5-bedroom, 9-bed home in walkable Germantown built for the trips that are hard to house: Derby week, a Bourbon Trail weekend, a reunion, a wedding block, a bachelor or bachelorette crew.

    The main floor is one big open room: a 70" Smart TV, a sectional the whole group fits on, and 9' ceilings that open up to 12' vaulted upstairs. The kitchen runs on stainless appliances and granite counters and is stocked to cook and serve for everyone. Every bedroom has a Sealy Posturepedic Hybrid mattress, a Smart TV, a closet and its own storage.

    Out back, a private patio with string lights, a gas grill, a fire table and plenty of seating, plus a private lot with off-street parking for 4 cars, rare in this neighborhood.

    You're a short walk from Germantown's bars, micro-breweries, restaurants and coffee shops, one block from live music, 5 minutes from downtown and 15 from Churchill Downs.

    Sleeps 18 in beds, 20 total. Need more room? The house next door pairs with this one for up to 33 guests.

Bourbon Trail Bachelor Party

The property manager, Brandon, was a great communicator and the property was exactly as described. The location was pretty central to everything the group wanted to do while in Louisville as well. Everything was extremely clean and tidy, except under the beds. Brandon said he'd have housekeeping work on that in the future. Overall, it was an absolutely great place too stay and I would love to go back if I were in the area.

Nice house, great service

I highly recommend Bourbon House 3. Our group of nine friends spent a week there. We found the accommodations clean, very comfortable, and the design of the house quite efficient. They provided adequate starter soaps, linens, etc. There's a nice outside area with a grill and firepit. Best of all, when we shared a couple of small concerns with the owners we received prompt, friendly service. The house is near the Univ. of Louisville, but not as close to downtown as the description suggests. It was about a 10-minute drive to the Kentucky Convention Center. It is on the flight line for the Louisville airport and there is a lot of air traffic overhead. Overall, Bourbon House 3 was a very positive experience, and I would book it again.

Great time in Bourbon House 3

House was immaculate. Well decorated and furnished. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were spacious. We went bourbon hunting/tasting during the day and then came back and enjoyed the tables outside with the fire pit at night. My friends liked the Kuerig in the morning. We truly enjoy Louisville, its people and the hospitality. We would stay here again without hesitation.

Clean, convenient, and good for groups

We were very pleased with our stay. The house and furnishings were as stated in the property description. Host provided great guidance and info and was responsive even on a holiday when we had issue with the neighbor taking up the parking spots. There was a fair amount of street noise (house sits on a busy intersection with trucks that regularly barrel by at all times of day/night. It’s also very close to the airport, so you can hear jets overhead as well). The bedrooms were all well appointed, but we did run out of internet connections so not everyone was able to watch tv in their respective rooms. The weather was cool, so we all had jackets and different pairs of shoes… there is no coat closet or shoe rack so it got a little messy with 14 pairs of shoes and jackets. Coat trees or wall hooks near the entry areas would be an easy remedy that the host could add. All that to say - we had a few minor suggestions, but overall - we really enjoyed our stay.
