This house was amazing. Perfect location to all the shops, restaurants and bars. My husband and I are already talking about how we would love to go back.
Very clean and comfortable! Well equipped kitchen, recently remodeled with new appliances. Great location with an easy walk to all downtown shops, restaurants and the Civil War Museum.
The property was very clean and within walking distance to downtown shoppes and the Dinner Train.
The host was very helpful and had great communication.
Husband and I enjoyed our stay at Millstone Cottage. Very clean and nicely decorated, really nice kitchen. Enjoyed front porch and backyard. Have to go through bedrooms to get to kitchen and bath, but that was not a problem. Great location, can walk to shops and restaurants.
The cottage was very nice and clean and was in a great location. We enjoyed being able to walk to all the downtown restaurants. Bardstown is a nice getaway location for exploring The Bourbon Trail.
Great cottage furnished with all you need for a relaxing getaway. Walk to museums, restaurants, and shopping. Owner is very responsive. We enjoyed our stay!
Nice central location. Great home base while discovering the bourbon trail. Highly recommend for a family of 4. Museums and restaurants are in walking distance. Hosts are local and responsive.
Our love for bourbon brought us to Bardstown. We enjoyed our time in your beautiful home. We would definitely stay again. Your hospitality was above and beyond and appreciated your welcome snack basket and bottled water.
Property exactly as described. Everything you could possibly need is provided. It is the perfect location for downtown access. Not too far to walk yet far enough off the main road for quiet evenings. We definitely recommend and we will definitely be back!
This is an older house. We enjoyed it. There are little quirks and noises in the house. The parking is on the street and can get busy but we didn’t have any trouble. We enjoyed the porch with the chairs and I had coffee out back one morning.
Romantic historic cottage (with all amenities) with historic charm. Walking distance to shops, restaurants and everything you could want. Very clean, well maintained and awesome property. Everything about is great, I would recommend removing the political candidate sign out of front yard.
The Millstone Cottage is all that is reported. The owner has done a fantastic job of making the property welcoming and stylish. An alternative to staying in a cramped hotel room that is a winner every time. I highly recommend any of the owner’s properties.
We very much enjoyed our stay at the charming cottage for Derby Week. While it still has plenty of character, the updated kitchen and bathroom add to the comfort. Enjoyed relaxing in the back yard patio after a busy day. Neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. Exactly what we were lookkng for. Thank you WHP.

About the host
Hosted by Margaret Sue Masters
Hello, I am Margaret Sue Masters and I along with my husband, Michael, known as "The Colonel" have revived and restored 4 private cottages for vacation rentals in downtown Historic Bardstown. Millstone cottage was the 2nd property we restored. In 2004 we purchased the Chapeze House, circa 1787, downtown off the court square. In 2010 we converted the property into the Kentucky Bourbon House, a Bourtque Hotel with charming private suites. We alos conduct in the Bourbon Bar 2 Bourbon Classes; Bourbon University and Bourbon Mixology twice daily Mon-Sat. We also host intimate wedding ceremonies and elopement packages in the elegant parlor or the formal garden that makes up the back yard. Come and experience our "Hospitality Kentucky Style"......
Why they chose this property
My husband and I bought this cottage in 2000 and spent 6 months restoring it. In the early 1900's this cottage was next door to a grist mill. There are 3 grist millstones still located on the property, hence the name "Millstone Cottage". Millstone Cottage sits on Broadway, one of the most charming streets in Historic Bardstown. The tree lined street has some of the best examples of architecture in the town. There is a barn in the back of the property and it had horses that were boarded there in the 1950's.
What makes this property unique
Millstone Cottage has all the advantages of being located 2 blocks from downtown without all of the street and traffic noise that comes with being downtown. Millstone Cottage is on Broadway which is a very quiet residential street. Sip our Bourbon Coffee on the front porch as you watch the people of this wonderful town walk by. Relax in the evening with your favortie cocktail on the back patio under the twinkle lights
