Family-friendly vacation rentals in Saint Matthews

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

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!

This house is in a very nice neighborhood with plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby. There's plenty of room for a big family/group. I had another Airbnb host cancel my reservation only 2hr before check in. I was already on the highway with my family and Barksdale management moved this property up on their cleaning list as it had just been vacated around noon in order to accommodate us. I can't say enough for how much we appreciated that. Thank you so much for saving our weekend!!!

This house we great for large groups. We originally had 11 people coming but ended up with only 8. The house was older with a ton of character. It looks like it is a very up and coming neighborhood that has had a lot of work done to it. We came in for a work trip at the expo center and this house was only a 5 minute drive to it each day. Hot tub was awesome and back yard was nice. Will look at renting this house again for next years convention.

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.

This was my first time visiting Kentucky and this Airbnb was amazing. Chose to the city but far enough for orange and quiet.

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

The Nest was perfect for our family of five’s weekend getaway. We love the area and felt safe and comfortable in the neighborhood. Scott was a great host and very responsive to our questions. We will definitely stay here again.

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

What a beautiful home!! We stayed here to break up a drive home from Florida and we all loved it. We had everything we needed, the house was clean, and the beds were comfy. The kids loved playing in the “treehouse”. Brad was kind and communicative. We would love to stay here 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!!

I can't thank Melissa enough! The place is beautiful, spotless and had everything I needed for my stay. Melissa is a wonderful hostess... thoughtful, super helpful with recommendations, quick to respond and answer all my questions. The place far exceeded my expectations! Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

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!

This place makes you feel right at home! We host a radio broadcast from this place once a year and it’s perfect for our entire team to stay and to host guests! Beautiful property!

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

We loved our stay here! The off-street parking was great. We also loved using the pool and just hanging out in the various spaces! We really appreciated how helpful our hosts were when we needed to communicate with them. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and were very accommodating. Pro Tip: The upstairs shower has better water pressure than the downstairs one. :) This place is wonderful & we'd love to stay again if/when we're in town.
