Perfect for the Derby

The perfect location for the Derby! Our host was amazing - lots of special touches and gifts - everything we could have wanted. It is on the backside of the track so definitely best for people who are attending events at Churchill Downs or love racing, but it's such a retreat inside - decorated beautifully, outfitted with everything we needed. We loved it.

Charismatic and perfect location

This place was perfectly located for our volleyball tournament at the expo center. We could see Churchill downs from our window and we enjoyed running around it! It was clean, spacious, and allowed space for each of mother/daughter to have its own bedroom and bathroom. We would highly recommend this place and will be returning next volleyball tournament!

Long weekend with relatives

Awesome place. Close enough to downtown to make for easy trips to/from dinner. Also just far enough away to shave off a little time for several distillery tours we did. Home was absolutely perfect for the 4 of us, exceptional/intuitive security system, squeaky clean, simple parking, great outside area. Great fit for us
