Amazing, but…
This is actually a guest house, it was so much bigger than expected. Clean & Comfy. PERFECT Location!! We walked everywhere. However, something not super clear in the listing is that the shared yard is actually the owner’s yard (so ur sharing a yard with the owners kids & dog. Definitely didn’t feel comfortable sitting outside at the table. Also, u might want to bring ur own toilet paper (the toilet paper was literally the worst I’ve ever seen) and you’ll need to grab some milk to make pancakes, the pancake mix is a nice bonus but u will need milk

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.

Bardstown Guest House
This place was perfect for our stay in Bardstown. Walking distance to downtown Bardstown and many sites in town. Perfect home base for the Bourbon Trail. The Guest House was comfortable and well outfitted. The farm fresh eggs and homemade pancake mix was a nice touch! We didn't have the best weather and were unable to take out the ebikes. There's always next time!

Anniversary Get Away
Once upon a time, our adventure began in the quaint little town of Bardstown, Kentucky, nestled snugly in the rolling hills. We embraced history, stepping back into the early 1800s as we checked into a guest house straight out of a storybook. As we pulled up, our welcoming committee awaited us: none other than the owner's four-legged ambassador, the furry guardian of the gates. Yes, you guessed it - a dog wagging its tail like a town crier announcing our arrival. And let me tell you, that fence was not just for decoration; it was a fortress guarding against any unwelcome intruders (or overly enthusiastic guests). But beyond the fence lay a slice of paradise. With its weathered charm and timeless allure, the guest was a sanctuary from the modern world. And yet, just a stone's throw away lay the heartbeat of Bardstown - its main street. Ah, the main street! A bustling boulevard filled with treasures aplenty. From the aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafting from cozy cafes to the tantalizing scents of handmade soap and candles teasing our senses, it was an array of delights. And let's not forget the charming boutiques, where every piece of clothing seemed to whisper, "Take me home!" As the days unfolded like pages in a delightful novel, we found ourselves enchanted by Bardstown's magic. And amidst it all, our historic guest house stood as a beacon of comfort and nostalgia. Would we return? Absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt. For in Bardstown, every corner holds a story,
