We stayed at Rocking Horse Manor last weekend and loved it. John and Ricardo welcomed us to their beautiful home and made us comfortable immediately. John has so much knowledge about Louisvile and the surrounding area that we hardly knew what to do first. My only regret is that we only stayed one night ~ next time we plan a... More

We spent Easter weekend at this B & B and was spoilt to delicious home made breakfast, a very comfortable room and great landlords with a wealth of knowledge about the history of the town and great places to visit and restaurants to eat at. Highly recommend to anyone that is looking for a weekend away!! Thanks John and Ricardo!

Our cab never showed to take us to our daughter's college graduation. One of the owners saw us waiting. He got his car and took us to the convention center. We made it just in time. The house was amazing. Extremely comfortable and quiet. Plenty of forceful hot water and delightful air conditioning. The owners are not only true professionals... More

We stayed two nights at the Rocking Horse in Louisville, and we enjoyed it immensely! John and Ricardo were the perfect hosts. Our room was comfortable, and the location was excellent. Our hosts had many great ideas for things to see and do. We would love to stay again!

After graduation from college, my dad gave my mother and me a weekend at this wonderful bed and breakfast. John gave us an informative tour of the manor and gave us keys to the house! The breakfast was delicious and we felt relaxed and welcomed. Mom and I are already trying to put together another girls weekend.

We've stayed at many b and b's and this was one of our fav's: gracious, informative hosts, Victorian charm, upscale accommodations and delicious breakfast. All this with absolutely no pretense which creates a very relaxed atmosphere. Take the time to tour the house with John who makes himself available for any questions about visiting the area in addition to some... More

On my first visit to Louisville, the Rocking Horse Manor made my trip very special. The house is beautiful, and John provided a very informative tour of this historic establishment. My room was fantastic, with stained glass windows, a private balcony and bath. The breakfast each morning was well made and presented. It was nice to sit to a formal... More

We decided to stay here last minute and I am glad we did! Old Town Louisville is a beautiful place to be and this house makes you feel like you have stepped back in time. Would highly recommend and hope to return again in the future.
