    We booked this reservation last minute, as we had planned to stay at a regular hotel during our one night stay in Louisville. A quick call to Robert, however, secured us a suite on the top floor with no hassles whatsoever. The location was within easy walking distance of tons of eateries and attractions, and the room was absolutely perfect. We enjoyed everything about our choice of Central Park, except the short duration. We will definitely stay again when we make it up to Louisville again. Oh, and one of the standouts would have to be the amazing breakfast that Eva prepared. Positively top notch!

    Our stay at Central Park B and B was romantic, delicious and comfortable in every possible way. The hosts were knowledgeable about the area, and aided us in finding restaurants that suited us perfectly. The B and B is located in Old Louisville, which is a "must-see" for all who love Victorian mansions, decor and antiques. We are looking forward to a return trip!

    Our girl's weekend started of great when we stumbled across Bob and Eva's beautiful B&B. Such a lucky find! From the moment we entered the grand foyer, it felt like home. Prepare to relax and bask in the glow of Eva's gourmet cooking and Bob's hospitality.

    It had been several years since we stayed at a bed and breakfast, and this turned into such a refreshing retreat. The accommodations were delightful--we loved all the wood and stained glass--but that was the smallest part of the package. The innkeepers were fun and full of knowledge about Louisville and the immediate area. They gave us some great suggestions for dinner and things to do while in Louisville, and even planned an impromptu wedding for one of the other guests. Breakfast was a feast! and a treat to the tastebuds. We had such a great time that we are already planning for future trips in the Fall.
