About this property

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!

Friends having fun!

We enjoyed our time very much at Bluegrass and Bourbon. The home was lovely, clean and well kept up. It was a perfect “ home” away from home for us and another couple. We enjoyed your screened in porch for our coffee and at night as well.

The house was great for our extended family to spend time together. Kitchen was well-stocked with equipment and the layout works well. Screened-in porch was lovely, even on the hotter days.

Beautiful Spot

This was the perfect spot for us. We were there with another couple for a family event. The house is beautiful (pictures as usual don't do it justice), in a quiet neighborhood. The beds were very comfortable, rooms spacious and screened in porch was perfect. The host had the right balance of communication leading up to, upon arrival and near departure so I always knew what to expect and that I could easily reach her if we had any issues (which we did not). The only thing that would have been better is if the weather had cooperated and we were able to use the fire pit. It was sort of rainy and pretty windy so we skipped that, but maybe next time. :)

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.
