It is like a brand-new home with all the amenities that you would find and probably more than in your own home. The location is perfect for privacy and also close to what draws you to Bardstown and Louisville KY area. Restaurants are aplenty and a couple in particular that stood out are Lou Lou on Market and The Rick House. The host responded to the few questions I had and helped adjust my stay in a very timely manner. To the host, "THANK YOU"!

Friends Bourbon Traill Fun Week

We were all simply amazed by the property. It was the perfect spot for us to vacation while visiting distilleries. The decor is so inviting and goes along with the bourbon race horse vibe of Kentucky. We enjoyed having nightly fires in the backyard while sipping on our favorite cocktails.

Friends having fun!

We enjoyed our time very much at Bluegrass and Bourbon. The home was lovely, clean and well kept up. It was a perfect “ home” away from home for us and another couple. We enjoyed your screened in porch for our coffee and at night as well.

Excellent place to stay!

The property is set in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to a main road into downtown. The screened in back deck was wonderful for early mornings and an overhead fan for the warm evenings. Inside the house was well organized & clean. Beds were comfortable and plenty of room for 6 adults. We enjoyed using the cocktail cart to make driinkd from our newly acquired bourbon bottles. Highly recommended!

Family Bourbon Trail Adventure

This place was awesome and the owners very attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed the screened in porch, the game room and overall accommodations and decor. Unfortunately it was really hot when we were there so we didn't get a chance to enjoy the outdoors. I'd go back in a heartbeat...but my liver probably needs some time.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa

We live in Florida, but Melissa was born and grew up in Kentucky. We still have family here and we love to stay in Bardstown! Distillery tours are a hobby for us, but we also love to immerse ourselves in the peaceful country while we are here. In particular, we like to visit some of the local restaurants and shops. The people here are just so nice!

Why they chose this property

Bardstown is such a cute little town with a good amount of history. It gives us that small town feel getaway that we all crave.

What makes this property unique

Away from the busy downtown area, but close enough to feel like you're in the middle of it all. We offer a peaceful place to truly chill and hang out with your friends/loved ones.
