At this spacious bourbon-lover’s basecamp, you’ll be close enough to breathe in the angel’s share from the rickhouses at Barton 1792—but far enough to sleep soundly after a full day of tastings. Enjoy your coffee on the porch before heading to downtown Bardstown for the day (just a mile away). Back home, flip through curated bourbon reads, fire up the smokeless fire pit, and pour a flight to enjoy under the stars. A cozy, comfortable home base for enjoying the best of Bourbon Country..

So glad you enjoyed your stay! We absolutely love our green back yard so close to the rickhouses. Welcome back anytime!
The Angel’s Share was a perfect central spot to unwind after a day at the distilleries. We loved exploring Bardstown and took advantage of the beautiful backyard and fire pit. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we could need.
We had a group together from college to catch up. The house was great for 5 guests. We enjoyed grilling each night and hanging out in the large backyard. Great location to distilleries and downtown restaurants.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the stay. Come back anytime!
Property location is fantastic and awesome to be right next to a distillery. Everything was clean and instructions easy to follow. Would definitely recommend and will be back!
Dad and adult sons had a great stay. The house had everything we needed and we enjoyed the fire pit outside overlooking the 1792 distillery. Walking distance to downtown allowed for a dinner without concern for a DD.
Came to the Angels share for our first annual bourbon trip. This was an amazing property, they had everything needed for a great long weekend. We visited so many distilleries due to the perfect location. The beds were amazing everything about this home was great. We will be hoping to come to this home every year.
Great place! Property owner was amazing, cute welcome gift and had great communication. Perfect spot for easy access to adorable downtown shops, restaurants, distilleries and bars. Clean and cute accommodations. Five star!
This house was in a great location close to downtown. Had plenty of space inside, very clean and comfortable. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. We all had a great first time visit to Bardstown.
This house was perfect for our first trip to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. The property was easy to locate and the town of Bardstown was wonderful and easier to maneuver than Lexington . We enjoyed the small town vibe and not having to stay in the city. We will definitely try to stay here again on another visit to the Bourbon Trail.
