My wife and I very much enjoyed our stay. It is a very comfortable, quiet and clean home. It has a great backyard and the location is perfect to walk into town and the driving distances to many distilleries is ideal.

Our “Cottage in The Rye” stay was wonderful! Ashley, our Host, was friendly and quick to respond throughout the process. The cottage was cozy, clean, and welcoming. The beds were so comfortable, as well as the sofa (a favorite)! The Christmas tree and decor were lovely and appreciated! We enjoyed being close to downtown and easily reached our planned activities. We loved “A Christmas Carol” at My Old Kentucky Home State Park, the Dinner Train, shopping, and Marker’s Mark Distillery. Thank you Ashley for a delightful stay!!
We got a little snow The morning we left. 🥶

Great little house in the heart of all that is bourbon. Literally a 7 minute walk to downtown Bardstown and right in the area of all the distilleries. Fully stocked with everything we needed. Basement will be a nice addition once its finished.

Amazing location for visiting downtown.

This was our homebase for the Bardstown portion of our Bournon Trail trip. Downtown Bardstown is a great place to unwind after hitting the distilleries, and it's all walking distance from this nice place

We just fell in love with this cottage. It was perfect for our stay and the location was amazing. Ashley was extremely easy to work and communicate with. It was a great place to come home to after a day on the Bourbon trail. Everyone in our party would highly recommend staying at this cottage when you visit Bardstown.

My family has lived in Bardstown for over 25 years and I finally decided to buy a home of my own in 2018. My work requires me to travel, so when I'm not in town, I rent the home out to visitors :)
