While we have preserved the originality of the home including gorgeous hardwood throughout. We have added new modifications and modern appliances for a more comfortable stay.

Also the house has an air mattress with sheets, as well as a pack n play.



Please enjoy your stay. You have full access to the home and all the amenities! We appreciate privacy and want to make sure you have the same. However, we are a phone call away if there are any issues.

Any food/drink in the house is fair game - help yourself.

Check out - we do not require any special cleaning as you pay for that luxury. If you would like to start the dishwasher or laundry on the way out, that would be great, but 100% optional.

We had a great stay! The house is quite charming and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing girls' trip. Plenty of space and good A/C (we were there in August). Walkable to several shops and restaurants and a short drive to other amenities. Would 100% stay again!

We stayed for just one night, as we were literally passing through traveling home. This home had plenty of parking and was easy to find and get into the property. There are many positives: roomy for a group, large bedrooms, hot water for showers, and a wonderful booklet filled with area highlights, shopping, and restaurants. Our 17 yr old thought he died and went to heaven with the Xbox :) My husband was concerned about the master shower floor which seemed very slippery. That could be remedied with a mat. Overall, very happy with our stay.

Cozzy and roomy

Everything you could need is here. Very clean. I would recommend if you are vertically challenged like myself you bring a step stool if you are planning to get in the master bed. I stayed here because it was pet friendly and I was being my dog to Louisville for a surgery. It was perfect for what we needed.

Very cute

This little (not so little) house is adorable. It was a very nice and relaxing stay. My only complaint is the mattresses were too hard for my liking. Otherwise the host was great and very responsive. The place was clean and well equipt.

Charming House

We enjoyed our stay in Shelbyville. This house had plenty of room and charm for our 2 families. Hosts were quick to respond to our questions. We had a little bit of downtime on our last day and our kids had so much fun playing video games. It snowed on our last night, a prefect ending to a perfect trip!

This house is in a nice location and had charm and nice upgrades in the kitchen. However, the description of beds for each bedroom was incorrect. There are only two bedrooms that have queen beds. The third bedroom is the size of a closet and has a single bed - the description states there is a king bed… that was not found. We, unfortunately traveled with 3 couples who are all tall and were led to believe there were three bedrooms as listed in the description.The house had a window in the upstairs bedroom that had open air due to the window being old and receding from the frame which made that bedroom very warm. They tried to rectify by adding an air conditioning unit but that caused the room to have extra moisture and a very uncomfortable sleeping experience. The house smelled of stale smoke and the beds were very uncomfortable. I would not choose this rental again.

Bourbon Trail vacation

The house was great , it had everything we needed . Location was great , right out the door on Main St. which is Rt. 60 . Five minutes to I64 and 25 minutes to Louisville. A great coffee shop , The Paddock 5 minute walk away. A great central location to do the Bourbon Trail and go sight seeing..Wonderful front porch to sit on and enjoy a cocktail.The host was easy to reach . but we didn't need to . Absolutely loved it and yes we will rent it again !!!

Undecided on odds of another stay

Cute house in walking distance of downtown. Beds are a bit too firm for our liking. Living room was cozy but I had to clean the dining room windows of the evidence of previous canine guest. Host did not answer several inquiries during our stay. Loved Shelbyville but I’m not sure if I would stay again at this location or not.

Wonderful historic home!

My family and I came in to Shelbyville for a wedding and the house and its location was perfect for our needs. The front porch is just charming. Kitchen is wonderful. I would stay here again! The reason I gave four stars is the beds are not quite as listed. The master (which is amazing!) has a queen, not a king. The downstairs bedroom that is listed as a queen is a trundle that converts to two twins (maybe that is the king?). And the living room bed listed as a queen is a blowup mattress, not a sofa bed as one would think. My only complaints of cleanliness was dust and cobwebs in the corners of the rooms and lots of crumbs under the sofa cushions (which we only noticed because we assumed there was a sofa bed). This also would not be a good house for elderly guests. Lots of stairs. But overall, I would recommend and stay again if I make it back to Shelbyville.
