What Past Derby Guests Are Saying
We had 12 people for Derby weekend and the house was perfect. Huge kitchen, backyard space for our own party, and only 15 minutes from the track.

La Résidence made everything seamless. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and we felt like we were staying at a private estate.

Best Derby weekend we've ever had. Skipped the hotel chaos and came back to a real home every night. Already booked again for next year.
