While visiting Old Town Louisville in the summer of 2018, Kevin and Char Givens fell in love with its charm, small town feel, and sense of community. Their twins, Emma & Elliott loved biking around town to enjoy the Art Walk, Street Faire, Farmers Market, and all the beautiful parks.

Upon their return to Memphis, and after much soul-searching, the Givens family decided to return to Old Town Louisville and begin their search for a forever home. While it was a beautiful summer in Colorado with much to see and do, especially in downtown Louisville, the family still found themselves with one slight dilemma~ accommodations.

As avid travelers, the family had always looked for B&Bs, Boutique Inns, and those places that made every outing walkable. Despite that, the family found themselves hopping from one hotel chain to another with lots of Uber expenses to Old Town in-between. All the while, they wished for the simplicity to just stay locally rather than returning to the standard room, next to a busy highway, that awaited them. It was in that moment that Kevin and Char saw a need in the charming Old Town they had already begun to call home.

In the fall of 2019, while strolling down Main Street to the annual Labor Day Parade, the family spotted a beautiful historic home for sale. Shortly after touring the property, Kevin and Char realized they had finally found the missing piece needed to fulfill their life-long dream~opening a historic guesthouse. 

Now three years later, The Guesthouse on Main has hosted visitors from all over the country and every event from weddings to baby shower brunches to celebrations of life.
