Luxury Retreat: Sips, Swings & Strategy
Welcome to The Rickhouse Retreat by Destino Getaways
Your private Bardstown retreat for milestone trips, executive retreats, and luxury weekends. Practice on the golf simulator, screen a film in the curved cinema, then reset in the wellness suite with an infrared sauna and two massage chairs guests rave about. Dine at the ten seat table, work from dedicated desks, and spread out across three outdoor zones with a year round hot tub. Seasonal pool on site, unheated, open April 15 to September 30.
What guests love at a glance
• Private entertainment annex with golf simulator and curved screen cinema
• In home wellness suite with infrared sauna and two massage chairs
• Bourbon themed tasting lounge for pre tour flights and nightcaps
• Year round private hot tub; Seasonal pool, unheated and open April 15 to September 30, weather permitting.
• Quiet, private setting close to world famous distilleries and historic Bardstown
• Clean, well supplied spaces with simple self check in and fast Wi Fi
The Experience
Arrive, slow down, and savor. Whether you are celebrating a milestone, reconnecting with friends, or hosting a small retreat, each area is designed for easy gathering. Sophisticated enough for entertaining. Relaxed enough for real connection. The main level open kitchen, dining, and living space suits bourbon paired dinners or unhurried mornings with coffee. Wood, brass, and leather echo aging oak while large windows bring in soft country light.
The Wellness Retreat
On the lower level, a private wellness suite delivers rare recovery on the Bourbon Trail. Two full body massage chairs provide deep, restorative sessions beside softly lit salt wall panels. Guests consistently call these chairs their favorite part of the stay. Step into the infrared sauna to release tension, then finish with a warm towel from the custom towel bar. It is a sensory reset between tastings, meetings, and celebrations.
Rick Row Lounge
Adjacent to the wellness suite, Rick Row 7 sets the mood for flights and conversation. Rich textures, dimmable lighting, and bourbon tones create a modern speakeasy feel. The table features a group friendly puzzle that invites quiet connection while you sample your latest finds.
The Annex: Golf, Cinema, and Strategy
A few steps from the main house, the private annex adapts to your plans. Challenge friends on the golf simulator with clubs provided. Host movie night on the projection screen with a curved display. Gather your team for focused planning. Flexible seating and a popcorn machine complete the experience.
Outdoor Living
• Kentucky evenings are the star with three distinct zones that make time outside effortless.
• Covered wood deck with a dining table for ten for alfresco meals and long conversations
• Basement walkout cigar lounge with a sectional and two swivel chairs, framed by outdoor curtains for comfort and privacy
• Fire pit circle with ten Adirondack chairs, cushions stored in the outdoor deck box, and throw blankets in the indoor cabinet nearby
• Seasonal pool on site. Unheated. Open April 15 to September 30. Closed outside these dates. Weather permitting. The private hot tub is available year round.
Bedrooms and Baths
Five thoughtfully styled bedrooms across three levels balance comfort and personality. Three king suites and two queen bedrooms feature plush linens, smart TVs, and curated art. Several rooms include dedicated workspaces for guests who blend relaxation with productivity. Four full bathrooms combine function with understated elegance to keep groups moving easily.
Every Detail, Designed for Connection
Coffee and tea stations on each level make mornings easy. Barware and bourbon inspired decor honor Kentucky craftsmanship. From the wellness suite to the golf and cinema annex, every element is built to bring people together in comfort, conversation, and style.
Bardstown and Bloomfield Location

About the host
Hosted by Rosa
Hi, I’m Rosa. I came to Kentucky to build a place for people who want smooth logistics and standout moments, so your group connects easily and your trip feels effortless and truly memorable. I run The Rickhouse Retreat with one goal: make your Bourbon Trail trip easy to savor. Expect clear communication, fast replies, and spaces that work the way you live—movie nights, slow mornings, and premium recovery in the wellness suite.
I design for flow before furniture and people before everything. Families celebrating milestones, friend groups chasing bucket list distilleries, and executive teams needing a polished, low friction base all stay here. If you want help, I will simplify choices into a plan that respects your pace: drive times, tour styles, dinner reservations, and private drivers. If you prefer a looser plan, I will share a concise short list and step back.
Comfort here is quiet and intentional: good light, clear instructions, small luxuries where they matter most, and privacy always. My favorite feedback is, “We could relax—we did not have to think.” That is the bar I set for your stay.
Welcome to bourbon country. Whether you are here to celebrate big, slow down, or make smart decisions about great whiskey, I am honored you are considering spending your time and your stories here.
