Not sure where to start. From the outside to the inside, it was one of the nicest houses I’ve ever been to. The major standouts were the back sun porch, the bar and game room, and most importantly the theater room! The surround sound and bass makes any movie one of the best experiences you’ve had.

About the host

Hosted by Josh Sorensen

Host profile image
I’m a father of five who values time outdoors, traveling, and relaxing with the people I love. Barrel & Brook Estate was created with that same spirit in mind. It's a place where friends and family can gather comfortably, unplug, and enjoy meaningful time together. I take pride in maintaining the home to a high standard and being a responsive, hands-on host to ensure every stay is smooth and enjoyable.

Why they chose this property

Bardstown offers the perfect blend of charm, history, and world-class bourbon. Being just minutes from the Bourbon Trail while still enjoying five private acres allows guests to experience the best of both: vibrant distillery tours by day and total peace and seclusion by night. We love that balance of accessibility and privacy.

What makes this property unique

Barrel & Brook Estate combines rare privacy with resort-level amenities such as a private 0.75-acre pond, immersive home theater, full game room with speakeasy-style bar, sport court, and expansive gathering spaces. Few properties in Bourbon Country offer this level of space, seclusion, and entertainment all in one setting.
