Great cottage in an amazing location for our stay in Bardstown. Didn't realise at booking you need to walk through the bedrooms to get to other parts of the house but if you are with close friends its should not be an issue.

Great place for couples or small family.

My wife and I came for a few days to explore the bourbon trail, and the cottage was a great place to stay. The location is close enough to walk to restaurants and shops downtown. This is an old house, but it has been renovated and transformed into a very clean and comfortable place to stay. The owners are helpful and provide recommendations for things to do and see while in town. I would definitely stay here again.

Very charming colonial home, in a great location that is within walking distance to everything in the cute downtown Bardstown. The home was easily accessed, very clean and well equipped. The only thing I would say is it would be nice for you to know that the one and only bathroom is accessed in the master bedroom, so if 2 couples stay, there is not much privacy. That said, I would stay there as a couple or family anytime, the accomodations are well worth it. Broadway is a main street and heavily traveled but property managers have you covered, providing ear plugs & eye mask if you need it.

About the host

Hosted by Margaret Sue Masters

Host profile image
Hello, I am Margaret Sue Masters and I along with my husband, Michael, known as "The Colonel" have revived and restored 4 private cottages for vacation rentals in downtown Historic Bardstown. Millstone cottage was the 2nd property we restored.
In 2004 we purchased the Chapeze House, circa 1787, downtown off the court square. In 2010 we converted the property into the Kentucky Bourbon House, a Bourtque Hotel with charming private suites. We alos conduct in the Bourbon Bar 2 Bourbon Classes; Bourbon University and Bourbon Mixology twice daily Mon-Sat. We also host intimate wedding ceremonies and elopement packages in the elegant parlor or the formal garden that makes up the back yard.
Come and experience our "Hospitality Kentucky Style"......

Why they chose this property

My husband and I bought this cottage in 2000 and spent 6 months restoring it. In the early 1900's this cottage was next door to a grist mill. There are 3 grist millstones still located on the property, hence the name "Millstone Cottage".
Millstone Cottage sits on Broadway, one of the most charming streets in Historic Bardstown. The tree lined street has some of the best examples of architecture in the town. There is a barn in the back of the property and it had horses that were boarded there in the 1950's.

What makes this property unique

Millstone Cottage has all the advantages of being located 2 blocks from downtown without all of the street and traffic noise that comes with being downtown. Millstone Cottage is on Broadway which is a very quiet residential street. Sip our Bourbon Coffee on the front porch as you watch the people of this wonderful town walk by. Relax in the evening with your favortie cocktail on the back patio under the twinkle lights
