This quaint house was the perfect home during our stay in Bardstown. The area was very quiet yet provided quick access to downtown and was very walkable. Margaret provided some great recommendations for meals and all were delicious. Would definitely stay here again if we find ourselves back in the area.

Wonderful place to stay in Bardstown

Cute & charming cottage. Great location - a short & easy walk into town without being on a main thoroughfare. Appreciated all the host’s thoughtful recommendations on where to go and what to order - the fried green tomatoes, burgoo, yumyums and grilled Caesar salad were delicious just to name a few :)
