You are not only getting a great Victorian home but a popular and beloved historic neighborhood that is “the best possible place” to be for Derby or any other event.
The painted lady was featured in New York Times, USA Today, Lane Business Report, Courier Journal and forthcoming scholarly book: Invisible City. Painted Lady was featured in the community garden tour in 2006—its even better now!
We can provide phone numbers and emails of all references upon request: Love it! So different then Arizona. Loved being so close to the pubs>love our hosts. Best host ever! Above and beyond! Didn't need to do as much as he did but made the trip...want to rent next year with family and friends. Kristen Zukowski Like superman, loved breakfast and ride to Derby. Absolutely recommend the painted lady to friends. Andy Cracchiolo You and super lady made our stay fantastic. Thanks you for the breakfast and driving service. It made things 10 times better.
John- Thank you so much for your amazing hospitality this past weekend. The boys could not have had a more amazing time and Louisville is a truly wonderful city. All the best, and thanks again, Cyrus Our stay at the painted lady it was everything we hoped for and more! Your southern hospitality can't be beat- from the waters in the bedrooms to the daily surprise on the doorstep we felt like queens. Your house was perfect for our group- we really enjoyed preparing meals in the kitchen, hanging out on the patio, and walking up the street experiencing the local flavor. We really appreciated how accessible you were the whole weekend and the lift to the derby was a huge bonus. The Derby was amazing and although we all didn't win big money we all agreed the "painted lady" was the trips biggest winner! Thanks for everything and remember we have first dibs next year!

Live, touch, and experience one of Louisville’s most popular and prestigious Victorian neighborhoods on the National Historic Landmarks—the Original Highlands which had its first large mansion built in 1814. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_Highlands). While the first Kentucky Derby was 135 years ago, our wooden Victorian was built 115 years ago and has been the subject of news stories in the New York Times, USA Today, numerous regional magazines, and in the academic book Invisible City. The painted lady is an awesome Victorian home with high ceilings, wooden floors, four fireplaces, exposed brick, lots of sunlight along with numerous updates including zone cooling, modern kitchen and bathrooms.. The painted lady is bursting with character and personality. Each room is decorated with bright pastel colors and original art from the Caribbean, Europe and Southern United States. You cannot beat the location, neighborhood or home. Indeed, this is Louisville’s most popular and beloved neighborhood known for its picturesque historic architecture. Visitors here are not only walking distance of gonzo writer Hunter Thompson’s and actor Tom Cruise's childhood home and walking distance to Louisville’s most popular nightlife zone for locals. Why stay anywhere else when you can get this great home, location and neighborhood? Forget about the silly McDonald style houses for the same price in Louisville’s plain and boring out of the way suburbs!. This is the coolest neighborhood in Louisville with the best looking Victorians. In the heart of the Highlands and only 15 minutes on Derby day from the track-- considered the most prestigious and historic neighborhood in Louisville---you get not just a beautiful home but a great neighborhood and within blocks of the best restaurants and pubs with Derby parties.
