If you have family coming to town for Thanksgiving and don’t have a spare bedroom, you’re in luck. Louisville has plenty of charming short-term rentals that still have availability for the big weekend.
Progress Park
Visitors get access to amenities like firewood and grills while staying in these luxury Airstream trailers.
Cozy Guest Suite
This mother-in-law suite is right off River Road and a short distance to the Lewis and Clark Bridge Trail. The property is shaded and secluded by surrounding woods, offering a rustic feel near the amenities of the city, and there’s a fire pit to keep you warm on these cold November evenings. Artist’s Cottage
Check into this quaint two-bedroom home outfitted with art-making supplies, musical instruments, books, games, movies, and more. Perched on a cliff overlooking downtown, this stay offers privacy with convenient access to the city.
