    The Gallery House is immaculate, comfortable, and friendly. This B&B is an excellent value. The bed was comfortable, and the room contained every convenience. The breakfast options were tasty, and the neighborhood is packed with architectural gems. A delightful area for a leisurely walk, and convenient to all parts of Louisville. Very nice innkeepers, too. I've been to the Gallery House twice, and I will go there again.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast, and felt very welcome to come and go as I pleased. The house was nicely decorated, and the owners were friendly. The rooms were equipped with hot pots, which was great, but no spoons, no sugar, and not much of a tea selection--would have liked that. Internet connectivity was good, and location was prime. Beautiful park right across the street, and easy walking distance to some cute areas of the city.

    We really enjoyed our stay at The Gallery House. The B&B is situated in a area of lovely old homes that have been thoughtfully preserved or restored. A great walking neighborhood. The house is a combination of two of my favorite places, bakeries & art galleries! Leah is an amazing cook & pastry chef. Breakfast is creative & delicious! The house is filled with sweet smells of fresh baked goodies and an interesting collection of crafts & paintings. We enjoyed our breakfast-time conversations with Gordon. His personal reflections and insights about art, life in Louisville, and dining recommendations were appreciated. The Garden room seemed small (maybe just filled with lots of things) but comfortable. The bathroom is large.


    Great place to stay.

    We really enjoyed our stay at Gallery House. Wish we could have stayed longer. Coming from Florida and Central Time zone, we didn't realize we crossed into Eastern Time zone and arrived a bit late. But Gordon and Leah were most gracious in letting us in and even pointed out some late places to go to eat. The beautiful gallery of art was a nice touch - this place is appropriately named. The breakfast was delicious. We would definitely recommend this place and stay there again. Thank you Leah and Gordon for your wonderful hospitality.
