Beautiful space and so convenient to all the local shops and restaurants! We were able to walk pretty much everywhere we wanted to go. I was so impressed with how clean everything was. All the amenities we could need were provided. My only slight complaint was that I wish there was an outdoor seating area to enjoy. Other than that, I would definitely stay here again and recommend anyone traveling to the area to check it out!

Great location and clean historical house. Needed more detailed instructions about the lock and were sent 2 different lock codes, which I inquired about and received back what appeared as a general reply which did not address my question. However the host did respond to our call from the property and helped me get in. Would stay again.

Fantastic stay! Extra clean, quaint, and convenient for walking in and around historic downtown Bardstown! Host was outstanding - easy access and clear communication! Walked to Heaven Hill Distillery, took a carriage ride, and enjoyed the numerous restaurants (Old Talbott Tavern, Rickhouse, Pat’s Place, and more). 30 minute drive to the Bernheim Forest Arboretum to see three Thomas Danbo Trolls and the Jim Beam Distillery. Easy and ample street parking!

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!!

We arrived at 5pm (check in time was 3); it was not cleaned from the previous guests. We reached out to owners who were apologetic and said they’d have it cleaned right away. We walked around the cute town for a few hours to give them time to clean and when we came back, it smelled clean. A creepy house centipede was in the tub and a drain fly in the bathroom the next morning but to be expected for an older place. The lock seemed off, it was difficult to unlock initially and we never could figure out how to lock in from the outside when we left. It was just an ok experience tbh; but to be fair we only stayed one evening so maybe it would have gotten better had we stayed longer and used the house more. I think it’s a nice place, I think it was just an off day. Appreciated the offer from the owners to have a late check out at 11am since we checked in late. Bardstown is very cute and we enjoyed the one evening in that town probably more than Frankfort for our bourbon tour stays.

The property was clean and nicely decorated. We found the bed too soft for us. Th location is walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants. We enjoyed dinner at RickHouse and breakfast at Mammy’s. It’s an older home as noted so floors are not even and doors don’t stay closed. If that will bug you then stay elsewhere but I just considered it part of the charm.

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.
