This charming 1800s guest cottage is in an ideal location for walking to dining, shopping, and bourbon tasting in Bardstown. The cottage is immaculately clean and ready for a perfect stay in the Bourbon Capital of the World!! If cooking in is desired, the kitchen is well-stocked, but if dining out is preferred, fantastic local restaurants are within walking distance—our favorite is Talbott’s Tavern! Delightful shops line Bardstown s main thoroughfare, if local treasures are on the list. Best of all, the host is very friendly and communicates with guests extremely well. This cottage is a must-choose for the perfect Bardstown/Bourbon Trail adventure!!

We arrived at 5pm (check in time was 3); it was not cleaned from the previous guests. We reached out to owners who were apologetic and said they’d have it cleaned right away. We walked around the cute town for a few hours to give them time to clean and when we came back, it smelled clean. A creepy house centipede was in the tub and a drain fly in the bathroom the next morning but to be expected for an older place. The lock seemed off, it was difficult to unlock initially and we never could figure out how to lock in from the outside when we left. It was just an ok experience tbh; but to be fair we only stayed one evening so maybe it would have gotten better had we stayed longer and used the house more. I think it’s a nice place, I think it was just an off day. Appreciated the offer from the owners to have a late check out at 11am since we checked in late. Bardstown is very cute and we enjoyed the one evening in that town probably more than Frankfort for our bourbon tour stays.

The property was clean and nicely decorated. We found the bed too soft for us. Th location is walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants. We enjoyed dinner at RickHouse and breakfast at Mammy’s. It’s an older home as noted so floors are not even and doors don’t stay closed. If that will bug you then stay elsewhere but I just considered it part of the charm.

The house was exactly as described. Everything we needed was available for our short trip to Bardstown. It is a great location allowing us to walk to everything downtown. We toured/visited 6 distilleries around Bardstown and had a great stay. I would highly recommend this house for a stay in Bardstown.

As advertised

A great location and very quiet area. House was very clean and well kept. We walked to most of our destinations due to the location which was very nice. Only constructive criticism i would give is a dead bolt lock on back door, some kind of foot stool and end table in living room. I would definitely stay here again.

Great location

It was our first time to Kentucky and this was the perfect quaint little house in the perfect quaint little town. Everything was in walking distance. The civil war museum was down the street. You could also walk to all the restaurants and shops in the towns roundabout. You could park your car and not get back in it until you had to leave town.
