Nestled just off Louisville’s iconic River Road, The River Vale offers the perfect balance of calm escape and city access. The quiet rhythm of the nearby Ohio River creates a peaceful backdrop for a warm, refined space designed for rest and recharge.

The space
🌿 The River Vale | A Refined Retreat in the Ohio River Valley

Welcome to The River Vale, a four-story home tucked along Louisville’s historic River Road corridor. Designed with a balance of comfort and Kentucky charm, this thoughtfully curated space is ideal for families, couples, and business travelers alike.

Above your private garage, step inside to discover layered living across three additional floors:
🛏 4 welcoming bedrooms, including a king suite and a private first-floor hideaway
🛁 3.5 bathrooms with fresh linens and thoughtful touches
🎬 A media room with 85” TV, wet bar, and wine cooler
🃏 A cozy sunroom with poker table and deck access
🍷 A fully equipped kitchen, two decks (one screened-in), and ample indoor/outdoor seating

Each floor offers its own unique vibe, from the quiet comfort of the upstairs suites to the playful energy of the downstairs entertainment spaces. All bedrooms include TVs for added relaxation, and flexible common areas make it easy to gather or spread out.

Unwind on the screened-in porch, enjoy a morning coffee on the back deck, or relax after a day exploring the Bourbon Trail, Churchill Downs, or nearby river parks.

🗝 The River Vale invites you to slow down, settle in, and savor the best of Kentucky.

Guest access
We have two locked doors marked "private" that contain owner supplies and are not to be accessed at any time. In the garage, we have a separate storage area that is also locked and marked private.
Outside of that, you will have access to the entire home during your stay.

Other things to note
The River Vale is located in a residential neighborhood with full-time residents as neighbors, many of whom work from home during the day. We ask that you do not disturb them during your stay under any circumstances, and that you remain respectful of all residents at all times.

Our home is equipped with exterior cameras around the perimeter as well as a noise monitoring system that will automatically alert both us and the guest when noise exceeds a reasonable volume.

Our driveway and garage provide ample room for parking 3-4 cars easily. At no time should you park on the street. Our streets are narrow and are not designed to safely accommodate street parking.
