Jeremy & Mark,
Thank you so much for sharing your home. After a long day of driving, you were so kind & welcoming. We stayed in the Rose cottage, the bed was so comfortable & the room was exactly what we needed for a relaxing night. All the little extras were especially appreciated.
Your home is beautiful! It is easy to see the attention to detail & work you have put into the Inn at Woodhaven. We will highly recommend your home to clients & co-workers traveling in the Louisville area.

This was one of the best stays we have ever had! We went for our 25th wedding anniversary. Jermey was easy to communicate with and met us at the door. He gave us a grand tour of the property and showed us our room. The have some much to offer. Our room was amazing and the tub was to die for. The breakfast was out of this world. The French toast was the best I have ever had. The inn is close to several places to eat close by and lots of shopping. We will be staying here every year!

Jeremy and Mark are outstanding. Very welcoming.
The rooms are beautiful and well stocked.
The breakfast is worth trip in and of itself (which you can get without a stay, they just need a 24 hr notice)
Highly recommend Thanks

This place was spectacular, from the rooms to the food. The owners are so nice and accommodating. We travel a lot so to be able to stay at a place like this was an absolute pleasure. We will definitely be back. The bed was comfortable the pillows were nice with different comfort styles. The place was spotless. The bed linen smelt clean and fresh. There’s not one bad thing to say about this place.

It’s a joy to return to The Inn at Woodhaven! Jeremy and Mark open their home to us and make it a welcoming getaway! We take advantage of the house amenities and enjoy the living room for delicious nightcaps made by Jeremy. The beds are super comfortable and all reported sleeping better than at home! We look forward to scheduling our next visit!
