    The Best B and B Experience

    April 08, 2013

    We have traveled all over the country and stayed at many different B and B's, but the 4 days at the Central Park B and B were the absolute BEST! It all starts with the wonderful innkeepers, Eva and Bob, who open their home to their guests and go out of their way to meet your every need. Eva is an incredible chef, so we started each day with a gourmet feast that not only tasted delicious, but looked beautiful. The house is well preserved, lovingly maintained and beautifully decorated with Eva and Bob's extensive collection of antiques. We loved our bedroom, the Peacock Room, which was spacious and well appointed with antiques, but all the necessary modern appointments. The bed was luxurious, from the silky smooth sheets to the warm fluffy down comforter. The amenities include 24 hour snacks (including homemade cookies!), tea, soft drinks and wine in the evening, DVD players and an extensive DVD library. The location is perfect with plenty of free parking and Eva and Bob are very knowledgeable of local history and attractions. They really made this a memorable experience!

    Best Bed and Breakfast in which we've ever stayed.

    November 03, 2011

    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!

    perfect ambience

    October 26, 2011

    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!

    We have stayed in B & B's from the West Coast to Europe. This has been one of our best experiences. The room was both beautiful and comfortable, the food was excellent and we were made to feel very welcome when we arrived. Jim & Kathy

    My New Old Kentucky Home

    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.

    What a treat!

    July 18, 2011

    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.
