About this property
Sunset Porch-Sittin' Golf View, 4 bed, Bourbon Trail, Basement Bar/GameRm
Welcome to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail! Top off your glass and enjoy a peaceful retreat at the Willett Home. Relax on the front porch, enjoy the view of the golf course across the street and listen to the bells from My Old Kentucky Home State Park.
The Willett home has been beautifully renovated. We have accommodations for up to 8 guests (4 Bedrooms, each with a queen bed) There are two full bathrooms (we supply body wash, shampoo and conditioner, as well as an abundance of towels) Our kitchen is fully stocked, if you decide to cook! We offer an assortment of coffee for you to enjoy.
We are centrally located on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, close to many distilleries! Also less than one mile to Historic Downtown Bardstown with its many restaurants, festivals and shops. We are roughly one hour to Louisville and Lexington (Horse Racing anyone?!)
Welcome Home! We really hope you enjoy your stay!

About the host
Hosted by Laura McDonough
I am a born and raised Bardstownian! I am a Realtor, wife, and mother of three. My husband and I were married in 2008 at My Old Kentucky Home, just across the street!! We jumped at the opportunity to purchase and remodel this home and are so proud to be able to share it with our guests!! We are looking forward to hosting you :)
Why they chose this property
We named our home after the family who built it in the early 1950s. Mrs Willett lived here through her 90s!! She and her husband raised their children and hosted Sunday dinners with the grandchildren for many years.
We fell in love with the front porch wile remodeling the home in 2021.
We look forward to sharing the love this home has to offer.
