PROGRESS PARK PROPERTY INFO/POLICIES
Always subject to change. Please check back to this list between now and your arrival date. Feel free to reach out with questions.
Please review this entire section and then reply back to us on the Airbnb app that you have read and agree. With us being such a unique property to Airbnb, we need to ensure everyone understands our concept and policies. This basically serves as our online waiver. Thanks!
CHECK IN/CHECKOUT: We are unable to offer early check-in or late check-out. Our cleaning crew & property staff truly need every minute between guests, so the earliest you can access the property is 3pm and check out is no later than 11am. We appreciate your understanding. Thank you.
CONCEPT: We are a Glamp-ground & event venue. We have 11 rental units available. That includes 2 big houses, 8 airstreams & a bunk house. To see all of our units available, check out the glamping tab on our site. It won't let us share the link here on Airbnb, but if you search Progress Park, Louisville KY, you'll find us.
LOCATION: We have the most unique ability to provide our guests with an outdoor experience immersed in nature, that feels like you're far outside the city limits. But, we actually are not. We are still in the heart of Louisville metro, and close to all the city amenities. With that being said, we are still in the city, and a bit of an industrial area, so with that can come sounds of the city. We promise, as soon as you enter our gates, you'll have an instant calm and forget all your worries. Don't believe us, just read our 1,000+ 5 star reviews.
WATER ACTIVITIES: Boating is offered from March-Nov. Water activities are not available Dec-Feb. We have 5 beaches on property. Guests from the 11 rental units will be spread amongst the 5 beaches. Each beach has its own set of boats, life jackets & paddles. Beach assignments vary depending on what bookings/events are taking place on property. You will be given your beach assignment with your check-in info, the day of arrival before noon. We ask that guests return their boats, paddles & jackets to the boat walls before checkout. We typically only have 1 staff member on beach duty and it is very hard for one person to retrieve and hang all the boats on their own. Thanks!
WATER SAFETY: We only offer boating at Progress Park. We have found that having swimmers in the water combined with people paddling around isn't a safe combo.
Boating is at your own risk. Anyone under 18 yrs of age MUST wear a life jacket when in the water, NO EXCEPTIONS to that rule. If a child is seen without a jacket, they will be asked to exit the water. A large variety of life jackets are provided at each beach, however we cannot guarantee your size will be available, so feel free to bring your own, especially if you have someone who isn't as confident in the water. Children must be accompanied by an adult from their group on property at all times. No water activities are permitted after DUSK or during bad weather.
PETS: While we live animals, we do not allow pets on property. Thanks for your understanding.
RESTROOMS: On the LEFT side of the property, the externally accessed bathroom located on the back side of the Lake House (red door with metal bath signs) is available to guests in the LAKE HOUSE as well as the GRACE & GIGI AIRSTREAMS located behind the lake house. On the RIGHT side of the property, there are 2 shared bathrooms on the side of the RED bunk house. Those are available to all 6 units on the RIGHT side of the property. There is a property map listed in the photos if you'd like an idea of the layout.
GAMES: We have a variety of games & activities on property! This includes shuffleboard, Gaga Ball, Tetherball, Volleyball, Basketball, ladder golf, life size connect four & Jenga, a tree swing & a Playground. These activities are spread out around the property and are for everyone’s use. Please refer to the map for reference.
PAVILION: Our pavilion also serves as a pickle ball court. It is available to guests on property when not being rented for a private event. First come first served. If a private event is taking place, you will be alerted and that area won't be available during that time. Signs will also be placed out to show if it's reserved.
FISHING: Catch and release fishing is allowed, in a safe distance from guests in the water. Guests must provide their own bait and equipment. No license is needed.
LINEN POLICY: Our linens, blankets & bath towels are NOT to be taken out to the fire pits or beaches. They are for use inside the units only. Please bring your own beach towels and blankets for the fire area. Thanks!
TOILETS: Absolutely nothing other than toilet paper is to be flushed down the toilets, especially in the airstreams. No paper towels, wet wipes or tampons are to be flushed. They will clog the toilet and cause it to overflow into the camper. Thanks!
COFFEE: Our coffee pots are standard 10-cup coffee pots with a carafe. You’ll be provided with 2-3 individual bags of ground coffee. Each bag will have enough for ONE pot of coffee. Sugar packets & dry creamer, along with coffee mugs are also provided.
AMENITIES INCLUDED: As part of our all-inclusive glamping experience you can expect for the following to be included in your stay: Free Wi-fi, all bed linens & bath towels, all kitchen supplies, paper towels/toilet paper, hand soap, shampoo/conditioner, body wash, coffee/creamer/sugar, access to kayaks, canoes & paddle boards, a wagon for beach supplies, an assortment of life jackets, s'mores skewers, a couple bundles of firewood, stick lighter, lighter fluid and 6-8lbs of charcoal for the grill (the 2 big houses have gas grills). Each area is outfitted with Adirondack seating, hammocks, firepits and picnic tables.
Additionally, we also provide white noise machines in every unit to ensure a restful night's sleep, that you deserve so much!
Bring your food, clothes, beach towels & sunscreen! We try to take care of the rest!
BOOKING POLICY: We only book standard glamping stays through Airbnb with a max guest count that each unit allows for. For example if booking the lake house, it allows for 10 total guests and no more. We do host private events, larger gatherings or partial/full park rentals, but they are booked privately at an event rate. For that type of booking, you can submit an inquiry form on our personal site by clicking "book an event".
EVENTS: It is possible that a private event could be happening on some portion of the property during your glamping stay. This could include the Lake House/Buechel Beach, the Pavilion/Point Beach, or the Event Center. We will inform you of any events that are already on the calendar at the time of your booking. It is a very spacious property though, and we've designed it to allow for glamping & events to co-exist, so there’s plenty of room for everyone to enjoy!
SMOKING/DRUG POLICY
Cigarettes must be smoked outside and butts disposed of properly, and NOT on the ground. A large majority of our property is covered with mulch and is a fire hazard. We do not allow smoking of any kind inside any of our airstreams or buildings on property, and the use of drugs, including marijuana is strictly prohibited.
INCLEMENT WEATHER: **In the event of inclement weather where taking cover would be necessary, the basement of the 502 House would be our safe place. If renting the 502 house, guests must be aware of this possibility.
We are always improving our property and amenities, and this info is always subject to change, so please refer back to this info prior to your arrival date for any updates.
But, most importantly....HAVE FUN!
Sincerely, The Progress Park Crew
