Our second tour of the Bourbon Trail

This is our second trip to Bardstown and our second time staying at the HayJac house. The check in process is very easy and the hosts are very responsive. The house is beautiful, stocked with everything you could need for a wonderful trip. We absolutely love the location, close to shops and restaurants. We had an amazing trip and it was wonderful to have such a great house to come back to at the end of a very busy day! We are already looking forward to our next trip!

First time in Bourbon Trail

Easily one of the best VBROs we have ever stayed in. Great place to use as a home base for the Bourbon experience because it is close to so many distilleries. In Bardstown we could park at our place and walk to everything. The house was amazing!!! Clean, well stocked and over the top accomodations. The host Jim and Gina could not have been better. Timely communication, easy check in and check out, and very informative. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Best VRBO we ever stayed in!

The charm of this house grabbed us even from the pictures but they didn’t do it justice. The house was a perfect home base to explore the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. It was conveniently located to many of the distilleries but it also provided a nice place to rest up for the next day. It was extremely well stocked and the owners communicated with us like we were friends of the family. We will certainly recommend it to our friends.
