The house was great. It was exactly as described, convenient location to and from a lot of the distilleries and close by to downtown. The game room was a lot of fun. Great place to stay.
Great updated house but lots of space! Garage converted into a game room was an awesome addition to keep kids occupied!

Greg and his guests were a great group of visitors to our home. They treated our home with respect and followed all the house rules. We would welcome them back anytime!
The home was set up perfectly for a large family group. We thoroughly enjoyed the game room to spend time together, and it was far enough away from the bedrooms that anyone that wanted to go to sleep early was not disturbed.

Thank you, Sarah. It was a pleasure hosting you and your family. I’m glad the home worked so well for your group and that the game room gave everyone a great place to spend time together without disturbing those who turned in early. We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime!
The stay at this home was welcoming, warm and filled with good friends and family who enjoyed everything about what this property had to offer. Quiet neighborhood, great access to everything to do in the area, wonderful gathering areas, with great space for everyone to gather. The beds were amazingly comfortable and kitchen/baths well supplied. Especially loved the theater room, hot tub, firepit and game room. Will stay again when back in this area.
Great location, quiet, beautifully landscaped and wonderful views from front and back porches. Would definitely do again.

About the host
Your host
As an avid traveler and bourbon enthusiast, I fell in love with Bardstown, Kentucky and knew that I had to share this incredible experience with others. I created this space as a comfortable retreat where guests could unwind after exploring the legendary Bourbon Trail, with all the amenities you would need to relax and recharge. The location is perfect as well. You're right in the heart of bourbon country but also just a short drive to Louisville where you can dive into the rich history of Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby. This cabin has become my own personal escape, and I'm thrilled to offer that same mix of tranquility and adventure to my fellow travelers. I hope you'll find the same joy and relaxation here that I do. Cheers to your next Kentucky adventure!
