Family-friendly vacation rentals in Downtown, Louisville

My family and I had a wonderful time. The house was clean, well-cared for, and very spacious for the 7 of us. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook our meals. We made use of the kayaks, raft, and paddle board that were available. The owner was very responsive and easy to get in touch with.

This place is a slice of heaven. It’s quiet and perfect for a group of family / family friends / and for myself a bachelorette group. We enjoyed the tranquility and the feeling of right at home! The house was cute and clean. You get your bang for your buck here. My only advice would be if you book, bring a car that can climb a hill, as the home is on top of (what feels like) mountain! But makes for gorgeous views.

We enjoyed our stay close to Churchill Downs for Derby Week activities.

We loved staying here and it was the perfect location for our family Easter! I truly can’t say enough great things about this cabin and the owners! It was very clean and well appointed with anything you need and the owners were very accommodating and kind! They helped with a couple requests, including a pack and play and high chair. We were able to cook a large Easter dinner with the stocked kitchen appliances and cookware. The property is very serene with plenty of privacy and great options for hiking around. The location is also not too far to get to the grocery store and restaurants. Lastly, the pool table and hot tub were a hit! We highly recommend to stay here and know we will definitely be back for another stay!

This house was perfect for our family (8 adults). Julie was very responsive, even when we locked ourselves out of the house late on night. Nice neighborhood too!

Cliff was very helpful and responsive, we were in town on a job so there was plenty of space for people who don’t normally travel together. It was a very cold week so the hot tub was just what we needed! Would absolutely recommend.

One of the best Airbnb’s I’ve stayed in! Lots of extra little amenities, the decor was unique and well thought out, and the location was perfect. We travel to the area often and would definitely book again.

Great Airbnb in a cute, quiet neighborhood. The house was spotless! The bedrooms were a nice size with plenty of room. We enjoyed the two living spaces and the large dining room table. We would definitely book again if ever in the Louisville area! Thank you for an enjoyable stay!

This was our second stay at Guest House on Story, and was definitely as good, if not better than the first. Kim is an excellent and responsive host who strives to make sure your stay is exactly what you need. We had a large group of adults visiting Louisville to celebrate a birthday weekend, and we had plenty of space to spread out and relax. The area has fun walkable bars, breweries, and cocktail lounges, along with restaurants! Highly recommend Tartan House and Biscuit Belly. Guests should be aware as others have mentioned that given the location in Butchertown, there is occasionally a notable smell outside. It very much depends on the direction of the wind and day/time of the week. Do know though that you cannot smell this inside the house! We caught a whiff outside here and there, but definitely not the entire time. Highly recommend Guest House on Story, and I'm sure we will stay again when in Louisville with a large group.

Ben and Kimberly have a beautiful home. Close to downtown Louisville and a short Uber ride. Very cool historic town and the home matched the vibe. Great hosts!

This place was amazing. The pictures were accurate. The host was helpful when questions were asked. The house was super clean and cozy. The neighbors are super nice and friendly too. I will definitely stay here again when I am back in Louisville.

Had a very good stay, conveniently located to get around and visit .

We loved our stay, we felt right at home. The neighborhood is amazing. The kitchen had everything we needed and more!

Sandee is one of the best hosts I've ever had staying somewhere! She was so thoughtful with all of her actions and communication. Such a great spot for karaoke and bar hopping, we ate at Ramsi's Cafe and Gralehaus for breakfast. At the heart of the highlands this really is the perfect place, lots of history in the home and a very relaxing vibe.

Great place, love the outdoor sitting and easy parking. Great communication, Easy entry , close to YUM CENTER

We had a short trip for one night on our way to Tennessee, but our stay was lovely! Just what my family needed!! We would definitely stay again if ever in the area! Very clean and accommodating with tons of space for the family to feel at home. Also very kid friendly for my little ones! I don’t think my daughter got off the play fort until we left. Tons to do and walk to in town! Very peaceful and loved walking through town. Hosts were great too! Thanks again!! Hope to be back again :)

Beautiful neighborhood and wonderful pool area! The place was exactly as described and the host provided clear, easy to follow instructions to get in. My kids loved the pool especially! We’d definitely stay again if in Louisville!!

It was perfect for our family and was close to the family that we travelled to visit!

Our family of 6 stayed between Christmas and New Years. Like Alicia and Glenn, we also homeschool our four kids (ages 12-6). We were worn down from the holidays and daily life, so were looking for a refreshing time away from home. Our stay was exactly that. The home and property were extremely peaceful being out in the woods. We did several trail walks and explored the creeks around the property. The kids thought the circular nature of the home, and hot tub were fun too. I appreciated the various Christian decor in the home, it gave me some things to think about as we hung out. But even more than all of that, we had a wonderful chat with Alicia and Glenn that was very refreshing to our spirits. If you are looking for a peaceful, quiet getaway that is focused on Jesus and the holy spirt this is the place for you. Make sure you read all the description in the listing so you know what you are renting. If you do that, you'll be very pleased :) In Christ, Dave & Maura

Ramona and Steve were fantastic hosts. They made us feel right at home. Their location is beautiful and peaceful and just good for the soul! If my family and I are ever in the area again we will definitely love to visit again!

Kim helped me get reservations set up for my parents anniversary, for the second year in a row. She is extremely kind and helpful, and my parents loved her place and the area so much they went back! Very clean and nice place, plenty of extra amenities, beautiful views of the lake and surrounding area and wildlife, good restaurants within driving distance, and plenty of privacy and a feeling of safety and calm! Thank you again Kim from all of us, especially my very happy parents!

A wonderful home hosted by wonderful people. I can’t thank Amy and Carol enough for being incredible hosts and opening their home to us. Would certainly recommend this to anyone considering staying in the area!

We’ve stayed here several times over the last few years and we plan on continuing to do so on our annual Kentucky trip.

Lovely home in a nice neighborhood. Communication with the owner was great. Would stay there again
