Perfect spot for a couple's getaway

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Guest House. The hosts' dog Doobie was an excellent greeter! The 1 bedroom Guest House was the perfect size and in a great location for our distillery tour vacation. Just blocks off the main streets in Bardstown, we were close to all our favorite spots but avoided the noise. The kitchen with full sized appliances was great for an extended weekend trip.

Great location to downtown Bardstown. Easy to get to. Positioned on quiet street. Clean, plenty of room inside. Future enhancement may be to put a small privacy fence, small patio and a couple chairs at back door.

Peaceful and Warming

It was a really precious place in the heart of Downtown Bardstown!!! It was very clean and the owners were helpful!!! The bed was comfortable and the kitchen spacious. We enjoyed the walkability of the location immensely. The water presure was spectaclar and tons of hot water for a deep soak in a cast iron tub!!! Only issues were the internet was slower than we we are accustomed too and the kitchen needed a few more accessories for a week long stay. I would definitely stay there again. It was a great experience.

Wonderful Getaway!

My husband and I were supposed to be on a cruise but it got cancelled so we decided to do a short kid-free getaway to Bardstown. This cottage was perfect for us! It’s so clean and it within walking distance of the downtown square! We walked everywhere and enjoyed tons of yummy bourbon! I highly recommend this cottage. The only thing that could’ve been better was if it had a king size bed instead of a queen but that’s just a small detail.
