The property itself is beautifully maintained, with thoughtful details in every corner that reflect both comfort and charm. The room was spotless, cozy, and tastefully decorated. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and every amenity you could need was provided. Mornings were a highlight, with DELICIOUS homemade breakfasts that were not only beautifully presented but also full of flavor and care. What truly sets this place apart, though, are the innkeepers Missy & John. Their hospitality goes above and beyond anything you might expect. They are attentive without being intrusive, always ready with helpful recommendations, engaging conversation, or simply a friendly smile. It's clear they take immense pride in what they do, and it shows in every interaction. This is more than just a place to stay--it's an experience that leaves you feeling refreshed, cared for, and eager to return. I would highly recommend this bed and breakfast to anyone looking for a peaceful, welcoming getaway.

(Photos posted with review to show perspective.) Show had 2 openers and then Nikki Glaser as the headliner. The show started 15-30 minutes late, so plenty of time for any stragglers to be seated. We noticed that quite a few attendees arrived to their seats an hour after curtain open and invariably had purchased tickets in the middle of the row. This detracts from everyone's enjoyment as well as disrespectful to the performers. We were disappointed that the ushers didn't hold late arrivers for seat access between sets. The ushers were also standing in the area near the doors and engaged in conversation amongst themselves at a regular volume, no attempt to whisper, and couldn't seem to shut up.

Scanning tickets and passing through metal detectors and the bag search procedures were speedy. When we entered the venue, an usher asked if we'd like to be upgraded to orchestra level and we ended up in Row R (photos and videos depicting the view are included with this review). The location of these seats was terrific with regard to visual and audio. Seating was comfortable and had armrests. The performance was fantastic. We felt so fortunate to have a chance to see him play and his band is also wonderful. This was a perfect venue to host this show. Restrooms were clean and well stocked. Bar concessions are available. Exiting the building required a bit of patience due to patrons' traffic flow bottlenecks nearing the lobby. Looking forward to future events at this venue.

There is some street parking but the garage is located directly behind the theater with a catwalk on the second level that takes you directly into the theater. I equated the 3-4 year old little girl dance routines to t-ball for little boys. Most don't have a clue about their routine but still get dressed up, head out on stage and dance to their hearts content. Like T-ball it's pretty funny. Then the older girls who probably started out as toddlers and have persevered through years of practice are pretty impressive. Costumes are fun, good music and an excited audience to see your person on stage at the Brown theater. Viewing the building itself is worth a visit. They typically have a bar or two set up but not for this matinee. They were selling food, chips, candy, sodas and bottled water, hot pretzels, hot dogs, etc. But what I don't get is you can't take the food inside the theater. So why sell it? Drinks are allowed inside the theater. Just a cool theater, fun afternoon for family and the dancers.

It is next to Louisville's central park, which we took a brief walk through. It's very close to downtown so you could walk but it's recommended you drive it uber to your destination. Definitely recommend at least an overnight visit and maybe a weekend stay if you have anything going on in Louisville or the immediate area.

This week, Kentucky Blue was the featured musicians and they are excellent....bluegrass at their best. Unfortunately, for some reason, rather than have the band on stage with their electronic equipment it was decided to just have them play with no electricity and not on the stage. This was a mystery to us, to all the attendees and most importantly to the band. They came with all their equipment and rather had to play unfamiliar which made it very difficult to hear the music, particularly the singing. Couldn't figure this out and if the remaining concerts are set up the same way we probably won't attend.

Located conveniently off of US-22 in Crestwood, you're sure to be charmed by this unique and inviting venue. A recent wedding found me at the mansion, and it was the perfect venue for the outdoor affair on a warm night with a gentle breeze. After a moving ceremony on the outdoor lawn, we moved inside for cocktail hour, where friendly servers offered some delicious appetizers (try the pimento-stuffed cherry tomatoes if they're offered!). After mingling while the wedding party and family took photos, we headed to the tent for the reception. Salads had already been served, and we enjoyed them while listening to stories and toasts. The entree was a buffet-style service, and the brisket is absolutely top notch. If fried chicken is more your thing, theirs is worth trying as well (yes, I got both!) All of the servers were so friendly throughout the evening and made sure everyone's glasses stayed full the whole night. Check out the inside of the mansion while you are there and you'll appreciate the beautiful decorations, including the original wallpaper in some of the rooms! Restrooms were upstairs, and there always seemed to be a line for them throughout the night, so plan accordingly if you're there for an event and know you may need to wait if you overdid it on your water intake. I loved discovering this beautiful venue and hope that you'll soon find yourself there as well!
