Columbine Bed & Breakfast

I was put up here by the University for an interview the next day. Be sure to look for the sign because the house itself is nondescript and you will drive right by if you aren’t looking. Parking is located in the back or they will give you a pass to park on the street if you want.
The proprietors are great guys and made me feel really welcome! The second I arrived he showed me around the place and to my room, highlighting the place for breakfast in the morning and the rules of the place. In the morning, breakfast was at the table. It just included some muffins, fruit, cereal and coffee, but it was good. Had a great chat with Rich while I ate and with some of the other guests.
The only thing was that since it is an old house the walls are paper thin. I had a couple of guests in the room beside me come home from a late night and angry with one another who felt like arguing at 2am. To their credit, they got the hint really quickly and toned it down after I knocked on the wall.
If you are looking for a nice little place that’s different from the norm then stay here. Very hospitable!

I was in Louisville for one night on business, and wanted to try something new. I usually stay at courtyard marriots, or Holiday inn expresses, and Columbine B&B was just what I needed to make a routine business trip a refreshing and unique experience, and it was considerably less expensive. It’s located in a beautiful neighborhood, with a few eating spots within walking distance. The hotel is tastefully furnished and well maintained. My bed had high-​quality sheets, and breakfast was delicious. The owners were friendly. Staying here made me feel sharp.

I was in Louisville for a wedding and meeting new family, which is a little stressful for me — and this place made it relaxing and wonderful. The hotel is beautiful and has all the old Victorian furnishings you would want to see along with an eclectic mix of art that takes the stuffy out of the Victorian trimmings and makes it feel like home. It is a Victorian home, so the plumbing is authentic with beautiful claw foot baths and toilets with old fashioned tanks — which I really loved seeing, even if it was across the hall. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the garden filled with flowers blooming late in the fall. The hosts Rich and Bob were so friendly, the breakfasts delicious, and their recommendations for local sights were spot on. It is only about 3 blocks on foot from the B&B to the Comfy Cow a handmade ice cream shop that is worth the visit — we went there every night but one. The architecture on 3^rd Street (where the Columbine is located) is beautiful and an amazing slice of Americana Architecture. My best B&B experience ever, and I highly recommend it to anyone staying in Louisville. Or wants a reason to go to Louisville, visit just go to stay here.
