Friends from PA

We just fell in love with this cottage. It was perfect for our stay and the location was amazing. Ashley was extremely easy to work and communicate with. It was a great place to come home to after a day on the Bourbon trail. Everyone in our party would highly recommend staying at this cottage when you visit Bardstown.

Amazing location for visiting downtown.

This was our homebase for the Bardstown portion of our Bournon Trail trip. Downtown Bardstown is a great place to unwind after hitting the distilleries, and it's all walking distance from this nice place

Cottage in the Rye

Perfect location. I entered the wrong email on the app and had to contact the owner who was very accommodating with providing me check in information via email instead of the app. We also misplaced an item and she was very kind and understanding. Amazing experience.

Great time at Cottage in the Rye, Bardstown

The Cottage in the Rye was all that it was advertised to be. Quaint, great location, lovely back yard patio, a fun place to stay. We were there for a family reunion (Hurst, Brown and Bryant families) and the cottage met our needs fully.

Short get-away

We stayed 2 days in this gem to explore Bardstown & learn about the history of the area. Home is clean, has many updates, and, most importantly, is within easy walking distance of historic downtown Bardstown. We will definitely be back for a longer stay! Thanks so much for sharing your charming home!

About the host

Hosted by Ashley

My family has lived in Bardstown for over 25 years and I finally decided to buy a home of my own in 2018. My work requires me to travel, so when I'm not in town, I rent the home out to visitors :)
