About the host

Hosted by Margaret Sue Masters

Host profile image
Hello, I am Margaret Sue Masters and along with my husband, Michael Masters known as "The Colonel", we bought and restored the John Fitch Cottage in 2006. We have been in the hospitality business for over 20 years in Bardstown. We have revived and restored 4 cottages for vacation rentals in the Historic district of downtown Bardstown.
In 2004 we purchased the Chapeze House, circa 1787, downtown off the court square. In 2010 we converted that property into the Kentucky Bourbon House, a Boutique Hotel with charming private suites. Inside the Kentucky Bourbon House Bourbon Bar we conduct 2 classes: Bourbon University and Bourbon Mixology twice daily Mon-Sat. We also host intimate wedding ceremonies and elopement packages. Couple can choose to marry inside in the elegant parlor or the formal garden outside that makes up the back yard.
Come and Experience our "Hospitality Kentucky Style"...….

Why they chose this property

We bought the John Fitch Cottage because of its charm and its close proximity to downtown Bardstown. The large back lot attached to the cottage was very appealing because of the privacy it provided. This cottage was built in 1850 and it a wonderful example of a 2 room cabin. It has the original hardwood floors and the board and batten ceiling. Originally it was heated with a coal stove and in 1960 it was converted to gas heaters. We bought the cottage in 2006 and made an open concept design so the cottage would have a great room with a combination of living and dining spaces. We put in a new central heat and air unit.

What makes this property unique

The John Fitch Cottage is named after the street that it resides on. John Fitch is a very famous though Robert Fulton was given credit as the inventor of the Steamboat, years later it was determined that John Fitch was the TRUE inventor. There is a wonderful monument right off the court square!
