We rented this VRBO for friends and family to stay in during my daughter’s wedding at the Gatsby. My friends and family loved this place. It was conveniently located to the Gatsby, It is only a 2 minute walk to get there, There are several great restaurants, like the Belle house, and a nice brewery within walking distance. The place was very clean and uniquely decorated. This place was awesome for what we needed!

The place was very clean and bigger than expected. Each bed (6 queens) had a bathroom so each person/couple got their own bathroom. Very walkable to some bars and restaurants. Responded quickly when. I reached out.

Farm show attendees

This is the second year we have rented this property because it is perfect for our group attending the National Farm show in Louisville. We loved the location with great restaurants in walking distance. Great coffee shop below the property. Love the historic district.Property manager was wonderful. The only drawback is the steep stairs that could be difficult for some people.

Bourbon trails

Great place to stay, centrally located. Very clean, fully stocked kitchen, very comfortably beds. The units are located on the 2nd floor which may be challenging for some clients. The stairs did have a sturdy handrail which was used by several of the older family members. I would definitely stay here again. The owners were very quick to respond to our questions.

10/10 Highly Recommend

Our stay at this incredible VRBO in Shelbyville, KY, was nothing short of amazing! This spacious 6-bedroom, 6-bathroom property was perfect for our group of 10 adults. Located in the heart of historic downtown, the building offered ample room for everyone to relax and unwind.One of the highlights of the property was the two fully-equipped kitchens and the mini-bar area in the large bedrooms, which also featured their own cozy living spaces. It made hanging out and preparing meals a breeze, and the comfort of each room truly enhanced our stay.The location couldn't have been better. Situated above a coffee shop, the building was right in the center of Shelbyville, offering easy access to Louisville, Lexington, and Bardstown. This was ideal for exploring the famous distilleries along the Bourbon Trail. We also enjoyed the convenience of walking to local restaurants, grabbing coffee, or heading to the nearby brewery for a drink.Shelby, our host, was fantastic. Shelby provided detailed information about the area, answered all our questions, and was incredibly quick to respond to any requests. We never felt out of touch during our stay.As for parking, there was plenty of space both on the street and behind the building, which made coming and going hassle-free.Overall, this VRBO exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely choose to stay here again. If you're looking for a spacious, well-located spot to enjoy the Bourbon Trail, this gem in Shelbyville is an absolute must!

Area was perfect, close to all of the distilleries. I recommend Last Stop Brewing, great atmosphere and a very short walk away. The apartments were fantastic, very clean, well equipped and comfortable. I definitely would stay again when next in the area.

Great experience. Very clean and well equipped. Great location with lots of things that can be accessed by walking. We had a group of 6 couples and rented the entire VRBO and it worked great for us. Couple of things to note, it is on a busy street so the two studios have road noise during the day/evening, only one of the studios had black out blinds, the rest of the units do not (I would recommend this upgrade), there is no true outdoor space but we used the parking lot out back. also the stairs are kind of steep and narrow. All in all not any deal breakers for us just things to be aware of. We would stay again for sure.
