Summary: We Absolutely Loved Our Stay at Deaconess Guesthouse!We loved everything about this house! The tall ceilings, comfortable sitting areas, and the beautiful color palettes in each unit made it such a special and relaxing place to stay. The promotional boards with bits of history were so fun to read and gave the home extra character.The coffee bar was a huge hit with our group, and the little touches like the ice bucket and fully stocked bathrooms (shampoo, conditioner, and body wash) were so appreciated. It made our stay effortless knowing that everything we needed—paper towels, toilet paper, sponges, towels—was already provided.The place was spotless when we arrived, and it was such a treat to have TVs in every room. We really enjoyed the hot tub, and when we had a small issue, someone came right away—not only to fix it but also to clean it thoroughly. The responsiveness was top-notch. Even when we asked for a vacuum, it was delivered immediately!This property is beautifully maintained and exceptionally well-managed. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Jeffersonville or the Louisville area!
