Historic Bardstown Cottage ⭐️ Renovated in 2020

Stay with us in Bardstown, named one of "the most beautiful small towns in America." Our cottage is located just three blocks from downtown restaurants, shops, family activities and nightlife. Located on the Bourbon Trail, you are steps from Barton's Distillery and a short drive from several other popular distilleries. Churchill Downs, Keeneland, Mammoth Cave National Park and other popular attractions are within an hours drive making this cottage the perfect base for exploring Kentucky.

This fully renovated home sleeps up to 6 people in two queen beds and a full size pullout sofa. The first floor features the master bedroom, living room, kitchen, office area and bathroom with a walk in shower and washer and dryer. The second floor is devoted to the second bedroom and a private sitting area. Local cable TV and wifi (for streaming from your accounts) are provided. You can enjoy the outdoors on our front porch or deck with a dining area and grill. Enjoy your morning coffee or a nightcap from our drink station.
Our home is located on a busy street. This causes some street noise which is a trade-off for the great location right in town. We do provide sound machines in the bedrooms to help with this noise.

Fun on the Bourbon Trail
My husband and I stayed in the Bardstown Cottage after dropping our youngest daughter off at college. We were needing a distraction and had the best time on the Bourbon Trail! The location of the Cottage was perfect to many distilleries. The town has a ton of charm too. The cottage itself was comfortable, clean, and well stocked. We didn't cook much, but the kitchen was stocked if we wanted to. The property was clean and was just as listed. I would highly recommend staying here.

Great Location, Great Communication
This is an older home right in the heart of Bardstown. The place is so close to distilleries you can smell the sweet mash outside in the yard! It was a perfect base for our short adventure. When we arrived there was an issue with the HVAC. I messaged the owner through the app and they were at the house in minutes. This was on the evening before a holiday. They got everything up and running. They also offered to move us to another property if there were any more problems (there were not any more problems). The owner messaged us a few times during the stay to check on the HVAC. She also sent us a list of some local events we might like to do while in town - very helpful. This is a great place for 2 to 4 people to stay for a Bardstown trip. Highly recommend. And I would gladly stay at any property from this owner again!

What a great town
We were in town for the PGA Championship. We loved Bardstown. The town is very beautiful and such a well kept historic town. We look forward to going back in the future. There are many great restaurants and distilleries in the area. The location was very convenient to all the small towns where the distilleries were located. The house we rented had great accommodations. It was very clean and well kept. Keurig for making coffee with good variety of K-cups. We would recommend staying here again. The owner did a great job responding to messages.

Unbeatable location! Property was spotless and a perfect walking distance to restaurants and bars. Just far enough away for peace and quiet, but just a short walk to downtown shopping and entertainment. Will definitely be back.

More than bourbon
My wife did Geneology. We did the Civil War museum and women’s museum. Good restaurants. Bernheim Forest was very interesting and good hiking. Great restaurants from Drugstore counter to historic places. Lots of distilleries but a good museum covers a lot for those not into $$$ for bourbon. Very nice home.

Holiday stay in Bardstown
We loved our stay in Bardstown at the cottage. It was clean, fresh and inviting. The Christmas tree was a nice added touch. Nicole’s communication was great - even checking in with us a few times during our stay. The location was perfect - an easy walk to town - which we did often and it was close to many, many distilleries. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a great stay at this property! Everything was as it was described and was clean and beautifully decorated! Check in and checkout was so easy. The beds were so comfortable! The house is in a great location and close to downtown. Bardstown is a nice town and the location is so convenient to the Bourbon Distilleries. Noelle is an excellent communicator. This house is a little treasure! So much better than staying at a hotel.
