Parklike Estate in the Heart of Louisville w/Pool and Gardens -- Family Friendly

PLEASE READ: We love to know why our guests are coming to Louisville -- please tell us a little bit about your group when booking.
Note that the property will only be able to be used by the group staying at the property. Please do not book if your intent is to invite anyone outside of your group to the home.
We are sorry, but we are unable to accommodate wedding groups or BACHELOR/BACHELORETTE parties.

A note about Derby bookings: Stonecote rents for a flat $30,000 fee for the week. You may arrive any day during Derby week and depart on Sunday following Derby. Price will be adjusted to reflect this rate when accepting the booking. Derby bookings are non-refundable. Please send an inquiry if interested in the rental of Stonecote for the week of the Derby.

Welcome to STONECOTE, a 5-acre estate built in 1920. It is fully updated and professionally decorated. It has 7 bedrooms and sleeps 16 in beds. The main house features a gourmet kitchen with butler's pantry featuring 2 refrigerators, 2 wall ovens, 3 dishwashers, a Viking gas cook top, wine cooler and Carrera marble counters. The living room features multiple comfortable conversation areas, an antique baby grand piano and wood-burning fireplace. The large dining room can accommodate your entire group. Also, the large sun room offers an additional, less formal gathering space, and has a 64" TV. The pool house features an additional full kitchen, seating area with 64" TV as well as another bedroom with ensuite bath.

Room 1 (first floor): King bed with ensuite bath + sitting room
Room 2 (second floor): King bed with ensuite bath
Room 3 (second floor): King bed with ensuite bath
Room 4 (second floor): Queen bed, Twin bed (shared bath)
Room 5 (second floor): 2 Queen beds (shared bath)

Room 7 (pool house): King bed with ensuite bath

The 50' x 25' saltwater pool, is surrounded by mature perennial gardens and has a baby pool (pool is open seasonally, early-May to mid-September, depending on weather). Pool is not headed but should be pleasant during the summer.

High quality Frette bed linens and towels adorn each bedroom and bathroom. 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 ask that all groups observe "quiet hours" starting at 10pm every night to avoid disturbing neighbors.

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.

Check-in -- 3pm (if house is not booked prior to your arrival, early check-in may be requested)
Check-out -- 11am (if house is not booked after your departure, late check-out may be requested)
Restaurant and "to do" list will be provided upon booking. Guests are also welcome to contact a private chef to cook for them during their stay. City of Louisville Transient Room Tax (8.5% per stay) is included in base rates. Website collects additional state tax. Reserved bookings assume acceptance of the above guidelines.

Bourbon & Golf Luxury
Ten of us enjoyed the privacy and luxury of Stonecote’s accommodations. We spent 7 nights with a fantastic amount of interior space and outdoor seating areas. The kitchen exceeded our needs even though we had such a large group. Our hosts were immediately accessible both for local information and a couple of easily remedied issues. Our best VRBO experience in the last 5 years !

Family Trip to See Louisville City FC
Had a wonderful stay at the beautiful property located 9 minutes away from the Lynn Family Stadium. Pool house was beautiful and we will be returning with our extended family to make use of this spacious house. Fully equipped with everything needed that makes a house a home.

Absolutely Perfect!
Our group of 6 couples enjoyed 4 fabulous nights at Stonecote. The house is beautiful, spacious, and extremely well-stocked with everything guests might need. There was ample room to gather at the dining table, in various places in the house, and on the front and back porches overlooking the lovely grounds. We had lots of fun preparing meals in the enormous kitchen and butler's pantry. We took full advantage of the 2 refrigerators, beverage refrigerator, and ice machine. The 3 dishwashers made clean up easy! The location was perfect for us! The house is a short walk to the park with lots of green space while still being only 20 minutes or less drive from everything else in and around the city. Our hosts were helpful and responsive during the reservation process and welcoming, gracious, and attentive during our stay. We felt incredibly well cared for and knew that - if we needed it - help was just a phone call away. There are many reasons why this property has so many 5-star reviews! It was truly one of the very best VRBO experiences I have ever had. Thank you, Lisa and Keith!

A Southern Gem
The property was amazing with all the southern charm and beautiful grounds. Lots of amenities provided. Keith was wonderful. Any problem was responded to immediately. The pool was the highlight with the kids and adults alike. The boys played baseball in the spacious front yard while we sat on the front porch. It is such a beautiful property and would highly recommend it. We would love to come back.

Better than the pictures show!
We all said it was better than the pictures!! Spacious home. Clean, well-equipped and the hosts were very responsive. We had a couple little issues and Keith came right over to address. Beds were all very comfortable, kitchen was wonderful, and the salt-water pool with the fans to sit under was perfect. Multiple large game and sitting areas. We will definitely consider renting this again.

Family Vacation
My family loved staying at Stonecote. The property was able to accommodate a diverse group of 14, ranging in age from 18 to 91. It was comfortable, clean and beautiful. The neighborhood and its proximity to Cherokee Park was fantastic.
