Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Shelby County

We had a great stay during a week of touring horse farms and distilleries. Shelbyville is a good central location and the house is close to restaurants and gorocrery stores.

We had an amazing stay at Persimmon Ridge! The house was spotless, well-stocked with everything we needed, and had so many fun things to do. We especially loved playing pickleball and spending time in the golf simulator room. The host was incredibly responsive, kind, and accommodating—everything you’d hope for. The location was perfect for our bourbon tours, and we enjoyed some fantastic food nearby. Overall, we had a blast and would absolutely stay here again!

Gorgeous country estate with lots to do inside and out. Tons of space for large groups as well as entertaining. loved the design and furnishings as well as the beautiful surroundings. The house was very well appointed with cooking utensils and everything one would need

Spent the weekend for a bachelor party, this property was amazing!! Super private, plenty of space and great amenities. Our host had such great recommendations for distilleries, places to eat, and golf. Just an amazing stay and an amazing home. If you are looking for a place to stay along the bourbon trail, do yourself a favor and book this one!!

The home met our needs perfectly! Lorrie was very responsive to every communication -- and provided helpful recommendations on local gems for dining and shopping. Wish we could have stayed longer just to soak up the scenery and fresh air while sitting on the covered patio.

The house was clean and cozy. It’s a great location when visiting the Bourbon Trail. There were many amenities including the inviting hot tub. Would definitely stay there again when in the area.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at The Bagdad Bootlegger! The house was spotless, incredibly comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything needed for a relaxing and enjoyable visit. From the moment I arrived, I felt right at home. Matt & Carrie were outstanding hosts—friendly, responsive, and super helpful. They answered any questions I had promptly and even went above and beyond by offering multiple great recommendations for when questions arised. It’s clear they truly care about their guests’ experience, and it shows in every detail of the home. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again—highly recommended!

The Yellow House is an absolutely beautiful home! We had everything we needed for the 5 adults and 2 children that stayed at the house. Parking was a breeze and everyone was very comfortable. We have family nearby in Crestwood so we will definitely be back!

5 stars isn’t enough! Staying here was an absolute dream! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by how clean, stylish, and well-stocked the apartment was. It had everything I needed for a comfortable stay—and then some! The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of downtown Louisville, with easy access to amazing restaurants, live music, and local attractions. But what really sets this place apart are the incredible amenities. The rooftop lounge with skyline views was the perfect place to unwind after a long day. The fitness center was fully equipped, clean, and spacious—way better than your average hotel gym. And having secure parking made everything hassle-free. The hosts were responsive, friendly, and clearly put a lot of thought into creating a welcoming, luxury experience. Whether you’re in town for work, play, or a little of both, you won’t find a better place to stay. I’ll absolutely be booking here again next time I’m in Louisville!

I absolutely adored my stay this weekend! Such a cute Air Bnb very centrally located by all the amazing shops and restaurants in the Nulu area. We definitely will reserve this Air Bnb next time we are in town!

The apartment is located within walking distance of 4th Street Live and many restaurants. It is spacious and comfortable. Tyler sent very detailed instructions on every aspect of our stay. I plan to stay here again on our next visit to Louisville.

Cute upstairs apartment. Nice place to stay. Walkable to coffee shops, restaurants, and bars. If I'm in the area again for a weekend I will definitely stay here.

The house was very nice and clean in quite neighborhood. The bedding was very comfortable. It was more comfortable than staying at a hotel. And our hostess (Deanna) was very friendly and helpful.

We were right by Buffalo Trace, which is why we were there. The place was great, great communication, and lots of information about the area given. A great place to stay!

Lisa's place is absolutely lovely. A huge double-sized room with a big, comfortable bed, sitting area, dining area, great windows and kitchenette made it so much more than a hotel room. The place is charming with great decor from the record store downstairs. The restaurants in the neighborhood were fabulous, we walked to dinner and brunch. Lisa communicated everything we needed, and was extremely helpful. I'd stay again in a heartbeat!

This place is awesome! Tucked into a sweet little neighborhood, this basement apartment is perfect for quick stop in. The neighborhood is wonderfully eclectic with a variety of home styles and makes a wonderful tour of the area. Monniker brewing is in walking distance and was a great recommendation by the host. Definitely a great place to stay.

Would absolutely stay here again! Marshall was very responsive and the place was somehow even better than the pictures! Super clean space and super peaceful.

Exactly as advertised! Not only would I recommend without hesitation; I expect to book it many more times in the coming years on return trips to Louisville. Spacious, comfortable & great location. Thanks, Matt—your place met all our needs and surpassed all expectations!

This was our second stay here and Marianne was terrific, as was her home. If we are back for the same tournament in 2026, we can’t wait to stay again. Lovely place, lovely and responsive host!

We only needed to book for one night and we booked our stay last minute. Deirdre responded immediately and we were able to check in early. The condo was great and just as the pictures show. My granddaughters are 2 and 4 and they loved the snacks that were in a basket as soon as you walked in. The living room and kitchen were great. The half bath downstairs was very convenient with kids. The bedrooms are very large and the beds were very comfortable! The bathrooms were very clean. The whole place was amazing and we would definitely stay again. Thanks so much! 😊

We stayed during the Great Flood of the Kentucky River in April, 2025 and were evacuated due to flooding. Jon was extremely communicative and helpful and so friendly. Great host!

Matt was responsive and helped out when needed. Place was clean and a unique spot, also close (walking distance) to a lot of locations worth visiting.

We had a great stay! Comfortable, clean and easy to check in and get around. Easy walk to conference center and restaurants. I would recommend!

Great place for up to 5 persons, but still a great deal for as few as 1 person. Extra perks such as a record player, literature, and partial access to streaming services on the TV. Close to downtown by car, and pedestrian-friendly— lots of walking areas and nearby green space.
