We CANNOT say enough about our stay at the Rocking Horse with John and Ricardo. Every detail was perfect - delicious food, friendly and knowledgable hosts, convenient location, gorgeous setting. What more could you ask for? All aspects of our stay in the Irish Rose Room were impeccable and we honestly cannot wait to return. Well worth the money! More

This B&B is a gorgeous old home in downtown Louisville. When we arrived, it was beautifully decorated for Christmas. The innkeepers, John & Ricardo, were very welcoming and so helpful in finding things to see and do around town. We were on vacation with friends and were able to get rooms next door to each other. We would never have... More

My husband and I stayed at the Rocking Horse during a business convention in Louisville. While the house was wonderful for our needs, we wished we had more time to just savor our time there and explore the surrounding areas. The accommodations were very comfortable, our private suite was well-appointed and we also appreciated the sitting room outside our door.... More

Our stay at the 1888 Historic Rocking Horse Inn was very enjoyable. The house was incredible and the owners were extremely knowledgeable about it and the city of Louisville. We stayed in Patricia’s Hideaway on the 3rd floor which allowed us, and most times exclusive, access to the beautiful sitting room just outside our door. John and Ricardo gave us... More

The Rocking Horse was perfect. John, one of the owners, had a very fatherly presence. The home was gorgeous and our room instantly felt like our own little haven. It was an adventure exploring the house, made even better by surprise finds like cookies and port. The Old Louisville neighborhood was stunning and less than 10 minutes from anywhere in... More

My husband & I stayed at the Rocking Horse Manor during the Breeders Cup weekend. I had booked this trip about a year in advance, and we had really been looking forward to the B&B as much as we had the races! Our stay was nothing short of amazing. John even called the evening of our scheduled arrival (we arrived... More
