    Local and Gorgeous

    November 13, 2012

    The 2 Victorians built in the 1880's has housed some local legends. The hosts were gracious, attentive and informed, as well as more than happy to give us a tour through their antique filled 3 storied homes. Breakfast was a well prepared and presented, with appropriate setting and ambiance, when we chose to wake. Spinach and portabello omelette with home fries, country ham, biscuits, et al. Highly recommended as an alternative to a nicer hotel.

    First B&B stay

    October 13, 2012

    My wife and I had our first B&B experience at Austin's Inn, Absolutely wonderful! Mr and Mrs Austin mad us feel very much at home. Our room was very nice, spacious, and clean. We were in town to visit the St.James art fair which was a few blocks away. Breakfast both mornings was simply delightful! A 5 star Inn!

    Outstanding Experience at Austin's Inn Place

    September 23, 2012

    We stayed at Austin's Inn Place in September 2012, It was our first stay at a Bed & Breakfast and the experience was outstanding. Mary and Tom Austin were exceptional hosts and made us feel completely at home. There was plenty of room to relax with friends who were also staying there. The breakfasts that Mary prepared for us were tasty and plentiful. All in all it was a great experience and we would definitely stay again should our travels take us to Louisville.

    Amazing wedding-night stay!

    July 08, 2012

    I was trying to book a nice place for my wedding night, and I couldn't seem to find a single room in all of Louisville that had a jacuzzi in it! A family member found this place and booked it for us. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect. This place is amazing. The rooms and premise were decorated in a breathtaking Victorian style, and the room we stayed in had every amenity you could imagine (There was even a bidet, I've never used one so I was too unsure to use it!). The jacuzzi was wonderful and really helped my wife and I relax after a long, exhausting day. The bed was very comfortable and made me hate my mattress at home even more. Everything was immaculately cleaned. Tom and Mary, who own and run the place, are some of the nicest and most hospitable people in the world, and really made us feel at home. They asked about food allergies beforehand, and even let us pick what time we wanted breakfast (we stuck to a lazy 10am). The food was amazing: We had coffee, orange juice, biscuits, fresh fruit, country ham, skillet potatoes and a tasty portabello-spinach omelette, all cooked and served by Tom and Mary. The tablepieces were gorgeous, it was almost surreal how perfect everything was. I cannot praise Austin's Inn Place enough, it exceeded our expectations beyond what I ever could have imagined and really tied together our first night as husband and wife. We will definitely be returning for our anniversaries, the experience was unforgettable! I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a special place to stay in Louisville.

    Wonderful time in Louisville!

    June 06, 2012

    We were very pleased with the service and the friendliness of Mary and Tom. The rooms were beautiful. Austin's is in the edge of the Victorian district so we were able to walk and enjoy the beautiful homes. This was our anniversary weekend and we throughly enjoyed it.
