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!

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!

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

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.

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.
