We had a truly wonderful time staying at this luxurious 2BR/2Bath home with an outdoor courtyard and garage in downtown Bardstown! The property was beautifully maintained, spacious, and felt like a high-end retreat. We especially loved the private courtyard — it was the perfect spot to unwind in the evenings — and the attached garage made parking a breeze right in the heart of town.Our host was fantastic: warm, responsive, and clearly cares deeply about their guests. Everything was ready for us upon arrival, and the entire stay was seamless and stress-free.We stayed Thursday, April 23 – Sunday, April 26 and already can’t wait to visit again. This is the perfect Bardstown getaway, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, location, and genuine hospitality. 5 stars without hesitation!
Very comfortable townhouse situated within short walking distance of the great restaurants and bars located in downtown Bardstown! It is a perfect place to stay at for your Bourbon country tour!
