Welcome to the HIGHLANDS, Louisville's most walkable historic neighborhood. The Highlands Hideaway is Centrally located to downtown & the expo center. Walk to over 75 restaurants, nightclubs & shops! This home is designer decorated and was created exclusively for VRBO. The Hideaway is 1/2 half block from Bardstown Road & Louisville's restaurant row! Rest easy here in a zen setting on a quiet neighborhood street.

You can feel the love the moment you enter the Highlands Hideaway!
The love that was put into the complete renovation and care of this 110 year old home.
This historic, older home is located in one of the safest neighborhoods in Louisville has recently been renovated down to the studs, everything is new! Including the plumbing and electric.
The original hard wood floors and crown molding have been saved and refurbished as well.
I love sitting in the living room and admiring the original stained glass windows which I often did when we were setting up this home. :)
Bought exclusively with a vacation rental in mind, we used collected art of my friend & the owner Shelly and my own to add a personal touch. And my friend Robbie, a gifted interior designer, added his expertise in the thoughtful furniture placement and selection.
This is one of my favorite vacation rentals that I manage, because of its close proximity to Louisville's restaurant row, and its central location to everything fun that the Ville has to offer!

The beautifully restored Hideaway contains 3 large bedrooms and 2 full baths.
THIS HOME CONTAINS 5 BEDS!
The master bedroom contains 1 King bed and an extra 43 inch Smart TV.
The first guest bedroom contains 2 Full sized beds, and the 3rd bedroom contains 1 Queen bed, and 1 twin bed.
Sleeps 5-9 comfortably in beds.

This home is a perfect choice for 5 business travelers or friends that all need their own sleeping arrangement.

The Kitchen contains a large island that seats 4 guests, and the dining area contains a table that seats up to 8 guests, there is also a separate card table in the living area that seats another 4 guests - great for game playing!
You will also find complimentary coffee, creamer, bottled water & snacks in your fully stocked kitchen!
This is also a wonderful location if you want to walk to dinner or shopping!
The Hideaway is located a half city block from Bardstown road (Louisville's restaurant row).
Walk to over 75 restaurants, shops and nightclubs.
However, the actual street Stevens Ave. is very quiet and quaint.

Also find 2 off street private parking spaces right behind your home, a luxury in this neighborhood!

If you have any questions or concerns please text me any time!
We look forward to the possibility of hosting you, we are truly grateful for all of our awesome guests!

Great Stay!
Our stay at this property was great. The property itself accommodated us all with plenty of separate space when needed. We had a power outage one of the nights and the alarm was going off, wasn’t aware how to shut it off, the owner was very prompt in calling us to inform us how. He has great to talk to, very nice and personable

Charming home, Quiet neighborhood, Near great restaurants
My grown children and I were in town for a wedding. This home was in a great location near so many bars/restaurants. We were also able to walk to Cherokee Park which is a large wooded park with great walking paths. The home was great with space for 8 adults to sit comfortably or sit at the table. There was an issue where the power flickered off and on which made the alarm go off. The host was responsive and took care of it while we went out for lunch.

Long Weekend Getaway
Booked the Highlands Hideaway for a Bourbon trip with my sons & brother. Property location was great, easy access to Whiskey Row, and quick access to highways leading to the more rurally located distilleries. Just a few blocks away from many restaurants, craft breweries and shops. Highly recommend this property.

Great weeekend in the Highlands
Such a charming property. We came as a group of moms and daughters for a volleyball tournament. It was in a safe neighborhood and in a good central location with plenty of things to do. James was a great host, responsive and accommodating. We arrived at a welcoming home with snacks, music and lights on ready for us to have an enjoyable, comfortable weekend. We would definitely stay here again if the need arises!

Lovey location/cozy home.
Interaction with owner was great. The location and parking were easy and good for us walking to breakfast place every morning. Easy Uber to fairgrounds. Would have preferred two keys instead of one as we had two groups staying but didn’t think to ask about it. The first floor bath is pretty small- and with two total bathrooms for 6 of us who weren’t all related it was a bit cozy. The other bath is upstairs but is larger and updated. House was well stocked and set up was very thoughtful for check in. Shared living spaces are nicely appointed. House was very quiet for sleeping and street is quiet and feels safe. Close neighbors had what sounded like a drum or band practice on Sunday morning but it was very short lived. They also have dogs but honestly we couldn’t hear them unless we were outside right next to their open windows. Thanks for a great music festival stay.

We had a great stay in Louisville at the Highlands Hideaway. This house was perfect for our family and had lots of room. It was well stocked from the owner which is typically uncommon. It was very clean as well. Parking was easy in the rear of the home. It is within walking distance to many restaurants and shops. I highly recommend and would stay here again if in Louisville.
