This place was a gem and was perfect for our group of eight women to stay while in town for our friend's wedding. The place was well appointed with lots of special and welcoming touches. The host was very responsive when one little item needed replacing. It was an easy walk to restaurants, shops, and Cherokee Park. We recommend this stately, in-town home and would stay here again. Thank you!

The house is beautiful and has literally anything you could need during your stay. We loved our time in Louisville. We came to attend Bourbon and Beyond with friends and family. We had no problem getting Ubers back and forth. Plus the neighborhood has everything you could need food wise. Great stay!!

John’s place was exactly as described and pictured. The space was immaculate and accommodated our party of 5 perfectly. John provided clear instructions for checking in and checking out and was in communication during the course of our stay to ensure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend John’s place. A+++!

The Cherokee Homestead could not have been a more perfect stay. The home was spacious, had all the amenities you could think of, and super clean. The beds were all super comfortable and beautifully decorated! Our host, John, went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. His hospitality and communication is second to none. He also had beautiful roses out for us when we arrived, and sent them home with us when we left. This is the place to stay when you’re in Louisville, and we can’t wait to return!
