Stay in the heart of downtown Bardstown, named one of "the most beautiful small towns in America". Just out your door are numerous restaurants, shops, family activities and nightlife. Located on the Bourbon Trail, you will be a short drive from several popular distilleries. Our loft is perfect for a Bourbon Trail explorer, a couples getaway, families and business travelers. You will also find popular local events such as the Kentucky Bourbon Festival and Arts and Crafts Fair just steps away.
The loft features a full kitchen, bathroom, sitting room and two bedrooms. One bedroom overlooks North Third Street with large windows to enjoy the view. This bedroom does have some street noise but we provide a soothing sound machine and ear plugs for your comfort. We have also installed blackout and noise filtering curtains to help with the street light and noise. This is an old building with strict restrictions on replacing the windows so the old windows do rattle some. If you are a light sleeper, I recommend sleeping in the first bedroom. The bathroom is attached to the first bedroom. You must pass through the first bedroom to access the bathroom and the second bedroom. There is also some water damage on the walls from water seeping in through the bricks. This is an ongoing issue with this old building that is repaired on occasion but then returns. This is part of the charm of this historic building. We want everyone to enjoy their stay so we want to disclose these potential issues so you can make an informed decision when booking your stay.

This was a perfect place to stay while doing the bourbon trail. Right in the middle of many distilleries and great places to eat and drink within walking distance. Would stay here again in a heart beat!
Exceptional location and within walking distance to restaurants and bars. A/C excellent with ceiling fans in appropriate rooms. Host was super fast in responding.
We absolutely loved our stay! It was so nice to be able to walk downstairs to all of the cute boutiques, shops, and cafes in Historic Bardstown! We look forward to returning and rebooking The Historic Loft in the of Bardstown!

Great place to stay. Close to everything. My wife and I had a blast.
We loved the place! Right in the middle of town and a quick walk for food and drinks. We had a woderful time and loved Bardstown. We will definitely come back and hope to stay here
Location could not have been better. Very clean, comfortable bed, and well appointed kitchen. This was our 4th visit to Bardstown. Would definitely stay here again.
This loft was perfect for my son and I. Perfect size, perfect location. The beds and pillows were absolutely amazing! The host was extremely patient and quick to respond to my questions
Great place in the center of everything while on Bourbon Trail
My wife and I enjoyed our stay at the Historic Loft in Bardstown. Owner was upfront and honest about everything in the property description, no surprises. Safe area to stay in as well. Many restaurants and shops within walking distance. Great place to make your home base while on the Bourbon Trail. We can't wait to come back.
Wonderful place!!! Top notch! Super cozy apartment in the middle of downtown. Close go everything. Beds were soft and comfortable! Ac working perfectly in the middle of july! Extremely clean and nice!!! Super impressed! Extremely responsive owners and nice!!! Highly recommended! 10/10
Excellent property. Bed was fantastic!! Clean, easy walking distance to most stores, restaurants, bars, etc. I highly recommend staying here. We will be back.
Right in the heart of Bardstown. Fantastic location and great communication from Nicole. She has you set up with coffee in the unit along with great bedding, comfortable couch area to watch late night tv, and immediate proximity to everything. Would stay at her place again!
Perfect location in town to walk to restaurants, bars & shops. Only downside was parking concerns when the bar next door was open. The loft was clean, beds comfortable & plenty of towels, dishes, etc. very happy overall. Just don’t try to have Amazon deliver anything there - the package didn’t arrive or was taken. Suggest adding a window cling to the living room window so people walking upstairs can’t see into the living room.
Excellent little place with amazing access to downtown.
We were right there for everything we wanted. I wished we’d have been here when things were open but the apt was amazing and very cute decorations for Christmas. Nicole was always very quick to respond.
Perfect location. Walking distance to everything.
Clean, had everything needed. It’s an old building so there were some squeaks in the floors and doors but found it charming. Street noise was a little loud but didn’t mind.
Definitely planning on this being our place when we visit.
Excellent, clean Vrbo stay. Excellent location and everything we needed. Great communication. Only negatives were clearly stated by owner. Was a loud sleep due to idiots reving their cars and the bathroom was in an awkward location at Vrbo. Would still stay there again
There are a lot of places that have really good locations but the property is only so so. That is not the case with this property. The location is perfect even within bardstown. All of the distilleries and restaurants that we wanted to visit were no longer than an hour outside of bardstown.
The rental was clean and the attention to details were the cherry on top. Check in and checkout processes were very easy, especially when we had to get up very early to head to the airport. Next time we do this trip we will definitely be staying here again.
