Bluegrass & Bourbon - a Peaceful Retreat & Hangout
Retreat to your peaceful hangout after a day of exploring all that Bardstown and Kentucky has to offer! Relax by the fireplace and stream a movie on the 75" TV, cook a full meal in the well-stocked kitchen, create a unique cocktail with all the tools you could wish for, breathe fresh air on the screened-in porch that borders greenspace, challenge friends to poker in the game room, grill dinner on our charcoal grill, or roast hot dogs and marshmallows on the firepit area. This must be the place.

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"!

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.

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.

3 Riding Buddies Spring Motorcycle Road Trip
We selected Bardstown since it is the Bourbon Capital of the World. We road our motorcycles from our home in Auburn,Al to spend 4 days riding the Bourbon Trail. Although a little cool in the mornings, we had excellent weather. We very had schedule several distillery tours & visited many others. We also got the chance to visit Keeneland & Church Hill Downs. It was an excellent week! The house was perfect with very nice amenities. We could not have asked for a better property in a central location with a very responsive owner! We plan to make this trip again in the Fall! 5 Stars. I’d give it six hours if allowed!
