Rest easy here in a zen setting on a quiet neighborhood street.

You can feel the love the moment you enter the Highlands Hideaway!
The love that was put into the complete renovation and care of this 110 year old home.
This historic, older home is located in one of the safest neighborhoods in Louisville has recently been renovated down to the studs, everything is new! Including the plumbing and electric.
The original hard wood floors and crown molding have been saved and refurbished as well.
I love sitting in the living room and admiring the original stained glass windows which I often did when we were setting up this home. :)
Bought exclusively with a vacation rental in mind, we used collected art of my friend & the owner Shelly and my own to add a personal touch. And my friend Robbie, a gifted interior designer, added his expertise in the thoughtful furniture placement and selection.
This is one of my favorite vacation rentals that I manage, because of its close proximity to Louisville's restaurant row, and its central location to everything fun that the Ville has to offer!

The beautifully restored Hideaway contains 3 large bedrooms and 2 full baths.
THIS HOME CONTAINS 5 BEDS!
The master bedroom contains 1 King bed and an extra 43 inch Smart TV.
The first guest bedroom contains 2 Full sized beds, and the 3rd bedroom contains 1 Queen bed, and 1 twin bed.
Sleeps 5-9 comfortably in beds.

This home is a perfect choice for 5 business travelers or friends that all need their own sleeping arrangement.

The Kitchen contains a large island that seats 4 guests, and the dining area contains a table that seats up to 8 guests, there is also a separate card table in the living area that seats another 4 guests - great for game playing!
You will also find complimentary coffee, creamer, bottled water & snacks in your fully stocked kitchen!
This is also a wonderful location if you want to walk to dinner or shopping!
The Hideaway is located a half city block from Bardstown road (Louisville's restaurant row).
Walk to over 75 restaurants, shops and nightclubs.
However, the actual street Stevens Ave. is very quiet and quaint.

Also find 2 off street private parking spaces right behind your home, a luxury in this neighborhood!

If you have any questions or concerns please text me any time!
We look forward to the possibility of hosting you, we are truly grateful for all of our awesome guests!

21st birthday bourbon tours

We had the pleasure of staying at this property for my sons 21st birthday week. We were perfectly located to everything Louisville has to offer. The home is clean and well furnished. The beds were comfortable and there's plenty of space to spread out. The neighborhood has many places you can easily walk to for food, drinks, and shopping. We very much enjoyed our time there.

Girls weekend away!

James and the property were both outstanding! It was really fun to stay in such a cool house! The Highlands area is busy in all the best ways! Off-street parking was so helpful and made our stay very easy. The shops, restaurants, spa, people, and energy were welcoming and friendly. I wouldn't recommend going anywhere else if you and your peeps need a quick, fun getaway!!

Fantastic House

We came for five nights and it was wonderful. Communication with the host was super quick if I needed it. The neighborhood is so cute and quiet. Walk to restaurants, and cheap Lyft rides everywhere else. We were so comfortable, and I loved all the little touches like nice bedding, great pillows, and little amenities that are so appreciated. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Stay!

Stayed for a few nights with family over Thanksgiving. Communication with James was outstanding. The house is exactly as pictured, which means it is interesting and beautiful, combining modern comforts with original beauty. Neighborhood could not have been better - quiet but with extremely easy walking access to a ton of stuff. Highly recommend!

Our stay at this property was great. The property itself accommodated us all with plenty of separate space when needed. We had a power outage one of the nights and the alarm was going off, wasn’t aware how to shut it off, the owner was very prompt in calling us to inform us how.

Perfect Stay for Our Louisville Trip!

We (two moms traveling with two teens) came to Louisville for a national volleyball tournament at the Expo and couldn’t have picked a better place to stay! From the moment we booked, James was an incredible host—super communicative, helpful, and easy to work with.The house itself was spotless, beautifully decorated with a fun eclectic style, and had plenty of space for all of us to spread out comfortably. The beds were incredibly cozy, and honestly, this was the best-equipped home we’ve ever stayed in! James thought of everything—no need to run out for supplies upon arrival. The kitchen was fully stocked, there were ample cleaning supplies, plenty of towels, and even thoughtful extras like shampoo, soap, a hairdryer, and even a flat iron. The welcome snack basket and waters were such a nice surprise!The location was fantastic—situated in a safe, walkable neighborhood with tons of great restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and bars just minutes away. Getting to the airport and the Expo was a breeze, only about a 10-15 minute drive.We had an amazing stay and would absolutely book this home again next time we're in town. Highly recommend!
