This was the perfect place for us to stay for our bourbon trail trip. This place is in the perfect spot for getting to distilleries. It was also very convenient to get to down town Bardstown and was blocks away from Walmart. The house was clea,n cool, and priced better than the hotels in the area. Check in and check out we're a breeze. I would book this place again.

Bourbon weekend

This house had a great location for so many of the distilleries. There were two couples and we were able to make it to nine distilleries in five days. Great restaurants in the area also.

The bathrooms were updated very nicely, but would be even better if the showers had some grab bars installed. My dad didn't feel comfortable using the "slippery" shower/tub without these.

Stay In Bourbon Country

Beautiful home with plenty of space to move around. All modern and new appliances you might need to use plus utensils to go along with them. Bathrooms very clean and roomy. The host was helpful and responded quickly to questions. Bardstown downtown is a 2 minute drive away.

Nice little home

The home was nice, updated and very clean. Just outside of downtown Bardstown…in main highway BUT was very quiet surprisingly. Downside..upstairs bed was awful because the particle board piece wasn’t big enough for the mattress so it sunk/no support on sides…needs a box spring or something….had to take the mattress and put on the floor to sleep. No spatula in the kitchen…But nicely supplied kitchen other than that, good supply of towels and truly a cute little home. When arrived they had a sweet little basket of ginger ale, water and snacks which is a nice touch and a coffee press, no coffee maker BUT the press was super cool!

Hi Tami, I'm sorry my bourbon country cottage did not meet your full expectations. I truly hope all of my guests to have a wonderful time at my home. I do wish you had responded to my inquiries about how your stay was going where I would have been able to help you find the full-size coffee maker/grinder located in the cabinet to the right of the stove along with the two spatulas located in the uppermost utensil drawer at the far right of the counter. I will definitely look into the stated mattress issue to gain clarity and remedy any issues for future guests. Thank you!
