This cute place was ideal for us! It is walkable to everything we wanted in downtown Bardstown. Our only complaint was the bed. It was very soft and we rolled to the middle that is a personal preference. Very clean and accommodating. I would highly recommend!

Great location and clean historical house. Needed more detailed instructions about the lock and were sent 2 different lock codes, which I inquired about and received back what appeared as a general reply which did not address my question. However the host did respond to our call from the property and helped me get in. Would stay again.

Fantastic stay! Extra clean, quaint, and convenient for walking in and around historic downtown Bardstown! Host was outstanding - easy access and clear communication! Walked to Heaven Hill Distillery, took a carriage ride, and enjoyed the numerous restaurants (Old Talbott Tavern, Rickhouse, Pat’s Place, and more). 30 minute drive to the Bernheim Forest Arboretum to see three Thomas Danbo Trolls and the Jim Beam Distillery. Easy and ample street parking!

This charming 1800s guest cottage is in an ideal location for walking to dining, shopping, and bourbon tasting in Bardstown. The cottage is immaculately clean and ready for a perfect stay in the Bourbon Capital of the World!! If cooking in is desired, the kitchen is well-stocked, but if dining out is preferred, fantastic local restaurants are within walking distance—our favorite is Talbott’s Tavern! Delightful shops line Bardstown s main thoroughfare, if local treasures are on the list. Best of all, the host is very friendly and communicates with guests extremely well. This cottage is a must-choose for the perfect Bardstown/Bourbon Trail adventure!!
