My Old Kentucky Home
Great place to stay- the apartment feels really new and is in a modern and clean building. The apartment itself is large, has a nice kitchen and nice layout (bedrooms are not connected). The area is beautiful and you are steps away from a wonderful walk/hike/run at the Falls of the Ohio state park. All amenities are there. The bathroom could’ve been a bit cleaner - I think this was a short oversight as the rest of the house was very clean and tidy.

1bdrm Apt 11min from Churchill Downs
Great location. Nicely laid out apartment. Though we didn’t use it much, the kitchen was well stocked; most spices and even some food. They supplied a bottle of wine and some water bottles which was nice. Plenty of towels, wash clothes, shampoo, etc in the bathroom. Nice closet, comfortable bed. Comfortable furniture in the living area, lamps (not just overhead lights, which is a pet peeve). Ashley was very responsive the few times we reached out, and checked in with us a few times to make sure we were enjoying our stay or if we needed anything. I was a little confused by the Key Cafe which is how you get your key at check in, but probably because I was unfamiliar with it. There is an app which goes with it, but they also supply a code which is easier to use. The building where the apartment is located is very upscale and welcoming. There’s an honor bar for snacks and drinks, a number of businesses in the building, and a pizza place / micro brewery at one end of the building.

Luxury, Modern 1-Bedroom High Rise Condo
Great apartment, great location and great housekeeping service. The apartment has all I would totally recomend this place to anyone.

Welcome to Serena’s place! Spacious 2bd 2bath!
Beautiful place that was very easy to get to and use.

Amazing location condo on Main st !
Nice clean place to rest your head if youre in town for work like I was. Close to restaurant's and downtown Louisville is 10 mins across the bridge. Neihhbors dog was a bit annoying with the constant barking. Overall liked the place!

Gorgeous High-Rise On The River
Antonio’s place was perfect for the quick weekend trip to Louisville! The building had so many amenities and was so clean and well kept! The room itself was also incredibly clean, well decorated and had everything we could’ve needed! I was very very impressed! Antonio was also super easy to communicate with and very kind! We loved our stay! Thank you!!

Downtown Jeffersonville riverfront apartment
This is our second time staying. We had a great time and perfect location! The balcony overlooking the bridge is my favorite part.

River Views & Downtown Louisville Skyline
I absolutely loved my time in this beautifully decorated space. So close to downtown Louisville without the hassle of finding parking. I would definitely stay here again and again.

Bourbon Trail Lake Home w/ Hot tub & King Bed
We had a great stay!! Sarah was very responsive. she made sure we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay. The place was clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and the coffee bar! It has everything you may need. There was an issue with the hot water but everything was worked out. I highly recommend this place!

Riverfront Cottage
This was a cozy getaway with a great view of Ohio river. The decor was spot on. The hosts are wonderful and easy to work with. Gave us the relaxation we greatly needed. Thanks for such a wonderful experience.

Secluded cottage on farm.
What a wonderful farm cottage! Anna was very helpful getting us set up in a relaxing, peaceful place. After our first night, she checked in to make sure everything was going well and suggested activities we could do. Would highly recommend

Beachfront River Cottage
This was one of my favorite Air BNB stays to date. The cottage was so incredibly beautiful. It was super well stocked, clean, and there was a great amount of information about the property. We will definitely be back.

Exquisite Louisville Area, Derby, River Retreat
5 Stars! The place was amazing! Beautifully located on the Ohio River, it offered breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. The beverage refreshments were such a thoughtful touch, making the experience even more special. Micha was incredibly easy to talk to and very accommodating. Hands down, this place is a gem tucked away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Highly recommend!

Relaxing River Retreat with Private Pool
Absolutely perfect! I would say this AirBnb is one of the best that we’ve stayed at. Amazing views of the river. Kristen was very responsive and had everything we needed at the house. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need to cook meals. Beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels and hot water! I definitely recommend Kristen’s house! I know I didn’t want to leave!

The Cozy Lake Place Cottage 75
We love your house, thank you for everything

Riverhouse w/ waterfront view 15mins from downtown
Brittany’s place is one of those that feels immediately like home. It’s a gorgeous spot on the river with lots of space and comforts. We were a group of 6 and always had more than enough room - between beds, big kitchen for cooking family meals, an office space that was great for yoga, living room and tv room. Also loved the balcony and seating areas overlooking the water. 10 mins to downtown Louisville but with all the peace and quiet of a vacation getaway. And Brittany was so accommodating, responsive, and kind. We hope to be back for future visits!

Cozy penthouse with entertainment and food nearby
Beautiful space and location! We just needed a place to stay on the way to Mammoth CaveNP but made us consider coming back to Jeffersonville in the future!

Downtown Louisville - entire condo with a view!
The space was perfect for 9 of us to stay. Everyone had their own bed which was more than comfortable as well as an extremely accommodating living room space. The restaurants and night life were all very walkable from where we were at. Very happy we booked with Nathan!

"Cheers Town Centre Retreat" - Norton Commons
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.

Lou-City Penthouse Suite by Hollyhock Suites
Beautiful place to stay and within walking distance of the river and museums. Loved the little hidden bed, great use of space!

Main Street Farmhouse! City Retreat by Hollyhock
Perfect spot for our trip. sleeping accommodations were ideal, beds were comfy, house had everything we needed. Incredibly central, almost the entirety of downtown Louisville was within a 10-15 minute walk.

Downtown Louisville 2BR Condo with Amazing View
The location was perfect for a guys weekend. Walkable to multiple small batch distilleries and bourbon tasting rooms.

City Loft Escape with River Views! By Hollyhock
Place met all needs for our stay: walking distance to so many great bars, restaurants and breweries, easy to get into and spacious for the whole group, ample kitchen storage and appliances for in home meals, and overall convenient with check in and out instructions. we had a maintenance issue while there (at no fault of the host, cause by a storm in area during our stay) They responded early the next morning when we notified them and had it taken care of same day, before we even got back from our distillery tour. would definitely stay here again. close enough to downtown but far enough from the bustle that it was quiet at night.

Spacious Riverfront Condo Minutes from Downtown!
Awesome stay. Although it's not the best view of the river and Louisville in the distance, the area more than made up for it. Our kids were competing in the NASP tournament at the KY Exposition Center in Louisville which was a quick trip across the bridge. The indoor pool was heated and jetted. This was an unexpected luxury and extremely relaxing after a long drive. This was our first AirBnB and we loved the privacy and ease of access to many attractions as well as restaurants.
