House is in a great location. Very close to the lovely downtown. Bathroom is very large and comfortable. Everything was clean and well decorated. We had everything we needed. The furniture in the TV room is not comfortable but if you aren’t spending a lot of time in the house that won’t matter.

This is a cute home! It had a warm feeling throughout. Great bathroom size, nice kitchen, bedrooms comfortable, two sitting areas, and a front and side porch. We enjoyed sitting outside and chatting with people passing by. The bakery across the street provided an easy treat and we could walk everywhere we wanted to go in town.

We had a wonderful time at the Bourbon Cottage! The house is much larger than described and was everything we wanted for our time in Bardstown. Maybe the only regret was not getting to the bakery every morning of our stay. Don’t pass on the Yum Yums or the pecan bars. Thanks for a special time at the Cottage!!

Really enjoyed the house. Very quaint, clean, well decorated and supplied. The location is convenient, my only issue is that there was a significant amount of noise from the cars and people going by. It is on a very busy street. Music from downtown Bardstown on Friday night. Ear plugs were provided by the owner.

Bourbon Cottage was immaculate, beautifully decorated and conveniently located to everything happening in downtown Bardstown. Plenty of parking, we parked on the street and felt very comfortable doing so. The cottage is spacious, we actually never used the beautiful parlor. Loads of closet space and comfy beds. Definitely stay here!

Kentucky vacation

Great little house. Had all the necessary things, plus those lovely added touches that take a place over the top. Loved having coffee supplies, esp the bourbon coffee -we only stayed 4 nights so not having to provide our own was great. Location was awesome, didn't have to drive once we were in town for the night. Able to walk to the ice cream shop and the speakeasy.Laundry machines were easy to use. Overall great stay, would recommend.

Had a wonderful time staying at the cottage. It was decorated with antiques and felt a home away from home, we were sad to leave. Even the neighbors were friendly offered suggestions on where to go for dinner/ drinks.
