Perfect spot for a couple's getaway

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Guest House. The hosts' dog Doobie was an excellent greeter! The 1 bedroom Guest House was the perfect size and in a great location for our distillery tour vacation. Just blocks off the main streets in Bardstown, we were close to all our favorite spots but avoided the noise. The kitchen with full sized appliances was great for an extended weekend trip.

Cute and Fun

The cottage was very clean and well maintained. It was a quiet, peaceful setting especially at night.The owners live next door and we're very friendly. The location was excellent, walking distance to all that historic Bardstown has to offer.Only issue we had was that the mattress was very very soft. It was not supportive and both of us had difficulty finding a sleeping position that did not cause back discomfort.That was the only negative. Otherwise very good.

Peaceful and Warming

It was a really precious place in the heart of Downtown Bardstown!!! It was very clean and the owners were helpful!!! The bed was comfortable and the kitchen spacious. We enjoyed the walkability of the location immensely. The water presure was spectaclar and tons of hot water for a deep soak in a cast iron tub!!! Only issues were the internet was slower than we we are accustomed too and the kitchen needed a few more accessories for a week long stay. I would definitely stay there again. It was a great experience.

Bardstown central location for bourbon trail

Great location in a quaint small town. Convenient as a home base and we did day trips to bourbon distilleries, mammoth caves and corvette museum. Explored Louisville and lexington too! Guest house was clean and had easy access and parking. Great space for 2 people.
