***Reviews*** Here is what some of our guest are saying about this home:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Reanna - May
"If this house is available then look NO FURTHER and snag it while you can! Tony and Christine are BEYOND super hosts and this rental was the best experience I’ve had in all my years of short tern rentals.
HOUSE - such a charming old house with character and the original floors and look with all the modern touches. Kitchens well appointed and great to cook in. Beautifully decorated and a wonderful mix of old charm with upgrades. Beds are super comfortable and linens were nice. Gorgeous fenced in yard that was huge and great for dogs! House layout affords a lot of privacy if traveling in groups or couples.
Neighborhood - LOVE LOVE LOVE - really safe and walkable. Great coffee and breakfast places close by and lots of dinner options and bars too. We got up every morning and walked and were OBSESSED with the neighborhood. All of the neighbors are super friendly. Go out and explore, you will love it too!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Nick
"The host was over the top accommodating and would have bent over backwards for us on anything! This place is worth the stay in bourbon country and has old Louisville charm. The backyard is very private and great for yard games. Book this stay!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Kyle
"The house was amazing. Location and amenities were perfect for our group. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Louisville!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Gerry
"This is a great location for Louisville- close to airport, downtown, Cherokee Park, Bardstown Rd, Churchill Downs, Old Louisville, Bourbon trail. We had a large group and the accommodations were perfect! Beds comfortable! Bathrooms and Kitchens updated and beautiful. Anthony was incredibly responsive. Best thing was access to Bardstown Rd and Cherokee Park for exploring and unwinding. Highly recommended"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Justyn
"Great host! My team and I enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend to others. We were here for business for the Kentucky Derby and was conveniently located. The house is spacious and has cool unique vibe to it.
Thank you again!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Joly
"What a fun place to stay, you can rent the entire home, (and upper and lower unit or just one.) I had a couple of family members stay for a few nights while I rented this house for two weeks. It was super clean, very comfortable beds, seriously comfortable. It's charming too. It's a hop skip and a jump from Bardstown Road if you want a little more action.

But best of all is Anthony the host. He was johnny on the spot if I needed anything which was not much. He truly made my stay easier and more relaxing. I hope to return."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Kevin T
"We rented the entire house for 10 days! Grandparents located on the first floor, parents on the second and grandchildren/3 children ages 13, 16 & 18 on the third floor. Was a great arraignment regarding space for all ages. Kitchens were gas and very nice to use and clean. 2nd floor kitchen was extra nice with Italian range, hood and dishwasher (super quiet). Color palette in house was well done. Bathrooms were upgraded and had great showers. Our experience with Tony was very good and responsive, we truly enjoyed our time there and in a great area to walk to a gray coffee shop on the corner and restaurants in the area."

Amazing!
We were a group of 11 in town for a family reunion. Loved the Bonnycastle House for the location, roominess, back yard, but most importantly, the responsiveness of the Hosts. Easy to see why they are Super Hosts! Would definitely stay again if the opportunity arises!

Great home base for Bourbon Trail
Our group of 8 guys had a great time at the Bonnycastle. The location was perfect for bourbon trail exploring. Our driver picked us up at the house on travel days and several Louisville distilleries were close by to venture out on our own. The location is also convenient to restaurants and bars. We enjoyed hanging out in the back yard each night.

Perfect space!
My friends and I had a long weekend and stayed here. We absolutely loved this place! There are two kitchens if you get the whole house and each of the rooms were well decorated. The entire house was also very clean! We were able to use the backyard also and it was so nice having multiple parking spots. We were about 15 min from all of our activities and walking around the neighborhood was absolutely beautiful! There are parks nearby that a couple of the ladies went running around. All in all I would come back! Christine and Tony were extremely responsive and also provided recommendations in the app and also via text. Really appreciated them as our hosts!

We rented this property for a group birthday bourbon trail long weekend in KY. It was the perfect location for a diverse group of people. Local shops, bars, and restaurants in walking distance, and a short drive to all the other popular Louisville locations ample parking was a great bonus given the size of our group

40th Birthday Party and Bourbon Trail
The Bonnycastle was perfect for our group of 8 adults (4 couples) to enjoy catching up and hang out. The location was ideal to walk to restaurants, coffee shops, and bars. Noche, just a couple blocks south on Bardstown Road was our favorite! We enjoyed the fire pit each night and loved the second floor kitchen and bourbon tasting room. Plenty of parking, safe neighborhood, kind neighbors and no issues being a bit noisy in the evening. Great time! Thank you!

Wonderful Home in a Fantastic Neighborhood
Big, beautiful home in a fun, lively neighborhood of Louisville. We loved the Victorian charm of the house with all the modern amenities. Since it's sometimes rented out as two apartments, it has two kitchens and two living rooms, but that suited us (two families with two young girls) just fine. Each of our girls had their own rooms on the third floor, one couple on the second floor, and the other on the first. We loved the huge yard, outdoor seating, and the girls loved the tree in the back. Parking was easy and ample. The rooms were well appointed and the beds comfortable. The house came with linens and towels and plenty of soap/shampoo for our use. Nest thermostats allowed for climate control. The upstairs unit had a dishwasher and the washer/dryer in it. Check in and check out was a breeze. Now onto the neighborhood: really walkable, great restaurants and shops. We loved having a great coffee shop (Safai) right on the corner. Food wise, we enjoyed The Eagle (14 min walk), Mark's Feed Store (6 min walk), Superchefs (esp with kids, 3 min walk). We also tried the pizza at Impellizzeri's (Tony's rec) - delicious! and the Mexican food at Sol Aztecas for takeout. We took the girls to Purrfect Day Cat Cafe (4 min walk), just a couple of blocks away - they loved getting a chance to play with the cats. The adults in our crew also had a few great drinks at Darling's cocktail bar (5 min walk). We found the folks at Old Town Liquors (5 mins) to be very knowledgeable and helpful and they had a fantastic selection. A Kroger nearby makes groceries easy too. Oh, and we had fun perusing the record and used book shops on Bardstown. We loved the proximity to area attractions. Most of the downtown things were a quick 12-15 drive, so we were able to get to the Slugger Museum, the Muhammad Ali Center, the Science Center, and the downtown bourbon spots without issue. Churchill Downs & Cave Hill Cemetery were also just a quick drive away. We had considered staying at a hotel downtown, but I have to say, we are very glad that we ended up in the Bonnycastle/Deer Park area instead. We were able to take quick trips downtown and then come back to "home base" for a more walkable, neighborhood-y feel. Tony was *very* responsive to our questions the whole time, and sought to make sure we had a great stay at every turn. We would definitely stay at Tony's place again if we ever found ourselves back in the Louisville area.
