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!!

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.
