House is stocked with shower products (soap, shampoo, conditioner), bottled water and a Keurig and regular/drip coffee maker (coffee pods, tea, creamer and sugar), basic condiments and spices, dishes, utensils, pots/pans, etc.

Situated on one of the most elite streets in the city, in prestigious Seneca/Cherokee Gardens neighborhood just blocks from restaurants, shops and bars, and just steps from famed Cherokee Park. Easy freeway access, close to downtown and airport and just a short 20 minute drive from Valhalla Golf Course or 15 minutes from Churchill Downs. If you're not familiar with Louisville, this is the 'happening' part of town -- you'll be just blocks away from some of the best restaurants in the city.

We encourage you to leave your firearms at home. Should you choose to travel with firearms, please do not leave them at the property. We cannot believe we have to add these additional policies, but all rules are here because someone has done all of these things :)

Note about weddings and special events/parties: While we are flattered that you think Stonecote would make a great venue for your wedding, rehearsal dinner, wedding brunch, bridal shower or special event, the property is not set up to accommodate these parties due to neighborhood and car restrictions. Unfortunately, we are no longer able to rent to bridal parties, bachelor or bachelorette parties.

The house is amazing! We had 4 couples and it worked so well. The host was very kind and helpful, we had no issues. It was a wonderful vacation and would love to stay there again! The kitchen was very large with a great island and bar area attached for all us to hang out and a great gathering room attached that we all could lounge around in. Deer wondered the property…a beautiful safe area!

Awesome house with tons of character. Hosts were amazing - met us to walk us through the house and then said reach out if we need anything. Our friends loved hanging in the kitchen and great room and with plenty of beds and bedrooms for our group!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Oct 2025
Property was very nice and suited our needs (6 couples). This is an old house, updated. Upper floors creaked a lot, noticeable, but somewhat charming also. The pool itself was closed (Autumn). The pool apartment was self-contained. The couple that stayed in it said the freeway nose a much, tv was not operative and the internet connection was very weak. Unfortunately, we had a walnut fall from a tree onto a vehicle that was parked in the designated parking area breaking a windshield. An insurance debate ensued between the owners of the house and vehicle and in my opinion went down a rabbit hole that diminished the pleasant experience we had anticipated (came into the conversation daily). The Host's recommendations for restaurants, private chef, Heather Lentz (Kentucky Girl Catering) was excellent. Mint Julep Bourbon tour was excellent until we got to the last distillery where they dropped the ball and we had no reservation (that's a review for that company). All-in-all, this house would merit our consideration in future trips of our groups to Louisville. A very roomy place.
