Repeat Guests - Love this House!!

This is our second stay at The Churchill Backside and it was fabulous, again! The house is incredibly well stocked and has all the amenities you’d need for a comfortable stay. I love the extra touches like oscillating fans in each room and high thread count sheets. Highly recommend!

Great House for Couples Getaway

Great house for our 4 couples to stay at for touring The Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Close enough to downtown, walking distance to Churchill Downs and Kentucky Derby Museum. Very clean!! Buff was very responsive with our questions before our trip, and she was very responsive while there. Had a little hiccup with the heater which she saw to very quickly and even left us a nice bottle of bourbon for our inconvenience. Gave only a 4 star for location and neighborhood due to looks of nearby houses and yards. Overall, a great experience and I would recommend this house for couples' getaway!!

Long weekend with relatives

Awesome place. Close enough to downtown to make for easy trips to/from dinner. Also just far enough away to shave off a little time for several distillery tours we did. Home was absolutely perfect for the 4 of us, exceptional/intuitive security system, squeaky clean, simple parking, great outside area. Great fit for us

We spent a long weekend in this home with some friends. We all had plenty of space to spread out. The house has been renovated and is very well appointed. The beds are comfortable and the living spaces are cozy. We had a couple of questions during our stay and the property owner was very responsive. Great stay!

Perfect rental for exploring the Bourbon Trail or Churchill Downs

We recently stayed at this property for a bourbon trail trip and it was perfect. The house was clean and stocked with everything we needed. It was close to Churchill Downs and just a short drive to downtown, making it an ideal base for exploring Louisville. The host was very responsive and was even kind enough to mail us an item we left behind. We highly recommend this property!

Beautifully Renovated Historic Home

We loved all the room! We used both the upper and lower units and it was great. The bedrooms are large with comfy beds and beautiful decorating. 4 bathrooms are not an easy find for vacation rentals so this was a PLUS. I can't say enough about this great house, we loved that they remodeled, but kept the brick walls in tack, keeping the historic vibe. The parking in back was a great feature. I think the house is actually better than the pictures portray. You won't be disappointed in renting this house. We will definitely rent again if we come to Louisville!!

Good spot for a home base for bourbon trail

Great place to stay if you need to do an event at the University or visit downtown Louisville. But a great homebase to go any direction you need to go for the bourbon trail. The host could not have been easier to work with. She answered all of my questions in a timely manner, and the house has everything.

About the host

Hosted by Buff

Host profile image
I have lived in Louisville all my life and grew up watching my mom and dad with her sisters in hats go to The Derby! Then out to a locally owned restaurant for dinner. Fast forward and the traditions continue! Louisville is a great place to live and fun place to visit. We enjoy all the local restaurants, outdoor activities, sports, concerts plus The Bourbon Trail. My husband and I enjoyed renovating The Backside from an empty shell and bringing it back to life as a Vacation Rental in 2018. We are excited to host and look forward to your visit! Buff

Why they chose this property

We chose our home based on the location to the airport, KY EXPO Center, U of L Football and just minutes to NULU and other attractions.

Friends wedding
This property is stunning!! Duplex with easy access to both levels, all the amenities and super freaking clean!! Close to the campus of Louisville, within 15 min drive of downtown and some awesome neighborhoods!! Had a couple of questions that were answered immediately and they even purchased a pack n play for my niece to sleep in. Property says it’s not child proof but the downstairs level was perfect for a 18 month old to have room to play.
