bourbon experience

The house was everything that was advertised and then some! We would highly recommend it We have stayed at a few other VRBO's and this was "Hands Down" the best we have experienced! Some of the other reviews mentioned the street noise as some what of a problem but our group was not bothered by it. Yes we heard it , but not enough to mention it in the review. Thank you again for a wonderful stay Kim!

Great Location for our Bourbon Trail Trip

We are three couples from across the country who had the Bourbon Trail on our lists of places we haven’t yet visited. We found this house to be perfect for us. Great location in the heart of Bardstown. The house is clean, spacious and well supplied. We highly recommend this property and would stay there again.

Great location when visiting the Bourbon Trail

This was our second time to this property with friends booking the first time. That should tell you how much we enjoy this property! The only issue of note was hot water did not last long enough with 6 adults taking showers in the morning. You just need to space these out. I would recommend this location to anyone coming to enjoy the area! We will be back. :)

Family trip

We had a great stay here. They did a great job renovating and still left a lot of the character of the house. It was close to everything and very clean. The only downside was it was a bit noisy with the traffic at night but we used our white noise app on our phone and that helped. Thank you for a great stay.

Bourbon distillery tour

The house was perfect for 3 couples visiting the area for 4 days. Could walk to restaurants etc. We enjoyed 2 nights at the Stephen Foster outdoor theater But…the house sits on the corner with stop light of a main highway. Very very loud for sleeping.

Great location, exactly as described

Really liked the location. The remodel of the space was exceptionally done, great for several people. Our group ended up being smaller than planned so we had more than enough space. Yes, you can hear cars on the road out front as others have stated but it really wasn't an issue for us. We were aware in advance and just ignored it.

Exactly what we needed!

We had a great time staying in this house! The house was so cute, clean and the beds were very comfortable! It is in a great location with many options for places to eat and drink. Went to many of the local restaurants that were suggested by property owner. The local speakeasy was a blast and the food at Scout and Scholar was delicious. The house was perfect for us and property owners were so accommodating and came right over when outlets were not working properly! Thank you we will definitely be back!

The BEST!!!

We loved this house! It was perfect for 3 couples. We used all parts of this house but we spent most of our time in the kitchen area. We used the large kitchen table for games and morning coffee. The bedrooms were enormous and super comfortable. We each had our own bathroom. Yay! The house is right downtown so we walked to dinner every night. As others have said, the road noise at night and early morning is pretty loud. But if wouldn't keep us from staying at this awesome house again!!

Beautiful Home

What a wonderful discovery this home was. Beautifully restored 1800s home in a fantastic location. The home was a combination of modern updates with original painted plank floors. Extremely warm and welcoming. It was well-equipped with everything you would need just like being in your own home.You can't beat the location. It is a very short walk to the visitor's center, dining, and the main shopping street. Every distillery is within a short drive if you are there for bourbon tours.If you are looking for comfort and charm, then this is the place to stay. It was very cold while we were there, but there is a nicely shaded patio at ground level and a deck off of one of the bedrooms on the second floor.I would definitely stay here again if we return to the area and would recommend it as an easy first choice for anyone visiting Bardstown.The hostess was very friendly and easy to contact before, during, and after our stay.

House is beautiful, roomy, well-appointed and comfortable. It is easy walking distance to downtown shops, restaurants and bars. The only criticism that I have is the vehicle noise from the busy street that it is on. It is very loud in the front bedrooms and it begins at least at 5 AM. Ear plugs are a must-have. Also a box or 2 of tissues would be nice to have.
