Perfect for the Derby

The perfect location for the Derby! Our host was amazing - lots of special touches and gifts - everything we could have wanted. It is on the backside of the track so definitely best for people who are attending events at Churchill Downs or love racing, but it's such a retreat inside - decorated beautifully, outfitted with everything we needed. We loved it.

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!

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

Cozy home, lots of space

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!

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!!

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!!

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.

Louisville

The place was fairly nice and clean except for mold on one of the shower curtains. It was stocked with the amenities that were listed and nice to have both a coffee pot and keurig. If you are going to Churchhill Downs it’s definitely the place to stay otherwise it’s not in a great location for exploring Louisville unless you are driving. Our party was hoping to walk for dinner and night life but there wasn’t anything close which I was told when I had inquired prior to booking. That being said we persevered and ended up driving and ubering for the four days. All in all it ended up being a very nice time!
