"Cheers Town Centre Retreat" - Norton Commons

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 11 reviews5 months ago

Absolutely amazing stay! Wonderful location, accommodations and hosts. The most well stocked of any place I’ve ever stayed. My husband and I had a wonderful weekend away. Perfect home base while exploring distilleries of Louisville. Felt like coming home when returning to Jodie & Doug’s place. Norton Commons is a sweet neighborhood with plenty to offer all on its own. Can’t wait to stay here again in the future.

The Dotti Airstream @ Progress Park in Derby City

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 134 reviews5 months ago

We had a wonderful time at Progress Park! The host was very proactive in communication, instructions, and very friendly when we arrived. It was a very peaceful stay and exactly what camping should be... Walks, a peaceful lake, canoeing, fire pits, and hammocks. The owners have thought of everything when it comes to the campsites and park grounds. The camper (Grace) had everything we needed and the decor was so cute and homey and comfortable. We loved that there was a picnic table, a couple of chairs, and several more chairs around the fire pit. It was so nice to have hot dog and marshmallow roasting sticks as well as lighter fluid and firewood all provided. While we enjoy camping, we do not have a camper so this was a great experience. We had the best of both worlds by spending time at Progress Park and our campsite as well as exploring Louisville. We will definitely be recommending Progress Park to others and hope to visit again one day.

We were only here for one night; we came later in the evening and left early in the morning. Larry and their 4 wearied greeted us and showed us around, and then we were able to get a good nights rest in the quiet and comfortable room. The pictures do not do it justice, the room was beautiful, as was the rest of the house. Would love to stay again and spend more time enjoying the house and the area.

This was my second time at progress park and we stated in the 502 house for my Daughters Birthday! Even though it rained all weekend, it didn’t stop us from enjoying the outdoors! The game room in the basement was a lifesaver!!! It was beautifully decorated, comfortable, and very clean! The owners were very responsive and easy to get in touch with. I was looking for the password for the TV in the living room and had an immediate response after reaching out. No issues at all!!

Stella Airstream at Progress Park in Derby City

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 102 reviews1 week ago

This place is a GEM! We are local to the area and I was surprised to learn of its location with such close proximity to nearby amenities. However, once you enter the campground it feels so peaceful and secluded. Everything made you feel right at home, from the cleanliness of the entire park & the airstream, to the personal touches throughout. They literally have everything taken care of, you just have to show up. There are so many things to enjoy with the kids from paddle boarding, canoeing, pickleball, chess, basketball…or you can catch-up on rest in the hammock next to the fire-pit. Such a great little getaway!

Mugsy's Bunkhouse @ Progress Park Airstream Resort

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 133 reviews3 weeks ago

From the moment we walked into our bunkhouse, our kids were already planning to come back! Check-in was easy. The bunkhouse was very tidy and clean. Expect bugs because it's still camping, after all. There was so much to do that the kids did not want to leave. The highlights for the kids were the many fish they caught during the week. Mike was very accommodating and friendly. Val communicated everything clearly. This is a great place to go with friends, family with kids, or just for a weekend to enjoy peace and quiet. We will definitely be planning another trip to one of their many places.

We loved our stay! The Maria was very clean and cozy. The beds were very comfortable. The park was set up so nicely. The extra full bathrooms attached to the cabin were spotless and provided with all the necessary toiletries. Our host was quick to respond and so nice. We would recommend this park to all families looking for something different.
