About this property

2 Houses Side by Side | Sleeps 33 | Basement Game Room | Walkable Germantown

  • Two houses, one backyard, one big group. The Big Bourbon House is Bourbon House 2 and Bourbon House 3, side by side in Germantown and rented together as a single stay. The rear patios connect, so your crew gets two kitchens, two living rooms, nine bedrooms and one shared outdoor space to spread out in and come back together.

    Late night, head downstairs at Bourbon House 2 and the whole level glows: a blacklight putt putt course, karaoke machine, bumper pool, foosball and a speakeasy-style lounge to pour a bourbon and settle in. Next door at Bourbon House 3, the open-concept main floor with a 70" TV, big sectional and vaulted ceilings is where everyone lands for game day or a movie night.

    Both homes were built out for groups: fully stocked kitchens with stainless appliances, Sealy Hybrid mattresses and a Smart TV in every bedroom, full-size laundry in each house, and linens, towels, toiletries, coffee and laundry supplies all provided. Out back, two patios run together with two grills, two fire tables, string lights and seating for the whole crowd, plus a private lot with off-street parking for 7 cars, rare for 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 28 in beds, 33 total across both homes.

Clean and spacious

Nothing but good things to say. The airport was busy and we heard planes throughout the day and night, however, a few bourbons and you're gonna sleep right through it. Outdoor area was larger than expected and all had a comfy bed and clean bathroom. It was great for our group of 9 men.
