Let's face it, renting anything in Louisville during the Derby is extremely expensive!  One or two people coming to Derby can feel pretty good about finding a single decent hotel, albeit during that time very expensive!  However, if you're doing the Derby as many do...with a group of friends and family or as a business...then renting a house begins to look pretty good!  

One must not only consider costs, but objectives...

     Do I want our group to feel close during this time, or separate?   

     How many hotel rooms will my group need to book?

     What amenities or comfort can a private home give vs a hotel? 

To show you a decent comparason of cost, I selected three different hotels in mid September 2014...requesting 3 separate rooms for a 3 night stay (pretty typical for Derby) at 3 hotels.  Rates as if reserved on September 15th (rates will go up from here as Derby draws closer and fewer rooms are available!)

The 3 hotels:  Galt House, Crowne Plaza, and  Best Western...obviously three different places.  Below are the results.

Galt House  - To house 3 couple for 3 nights, cost will be over $5,205 per night, Crowne Plaza $2,400 per night, and Best Western $1,334 per night.   Shopuld you have more people in your party requiring more rooms, well start adding that into the average!  And as I indicated, rates will get even more expensive as Derby draws closer and fewer rooms are available!

So...YES...you CAN afford one of our beautiful private homes for your stay! Browse Homes

 Galt House - 3 rooms, 3 nights = $15,617...or $5,205.75 per night!  Oh, and don't forget their parking fee...even a wi-fi fee!  Wow...and don't be there before 4pm and get yourself by 11am!  Whew...
