Bourbon Trail home base

My wife and I and another couple came to do the Bourbon Trail and stayed here. We were very pleased with how clean the house was and the proximity to the distilleries that we wanted to go to. The amenities were perfect and we felt very comfortable staying here.

A Home away from Home

This home was our home away from home for an entire month. It was a wonderful place to stay as repairs were being done on our own home. Our host was very kind and answered all our questions. The home was clean, very comfortable for the 3 of us and was near Bardstown with its lovely little shopping and restaurant area. We would recommend this to those from out-of-town or to those who need a stay-cation! Thank you to our host for an awesome place to stay! We loved it!

Really enjoyable stay

Cute house with all the amenities you’ll need. Plenty of seating in living room, large kitchen, and outdoor deck is perfect for sunsets. Neighbors are nice and overall location is centralized for getting to bourbon distilleries and other regional highlights. Host was very responsive and offered suggestions for local dining (wish we had tried the local bakery!) Only drawback is that the main road traffic was noisy on the weekend.

Sweet retreat

The house was perfect for us. It was very cleanly. The hostess responded quickly. Nice location. Two suggestion would be tvs in all of the bedrooms and a sensor light over the back door to be able to see the code numbers to get in.

Golden girls vaca

Absolutely wonderful. Four ladies age 83-70, former coworkers. We do a yearly vacation. We saw all kinds of sights, did the old Kentucky Home, Makers Mark distillery, old Kentucky train, and playhouse under the stars. Those are just a few of places we visited. People were helpful, friendly and fun. Jamie’s house was perfect. Everything we needed was provided, great location to unwind after a busy day. Her response time to questions was spot on. Her house was very clean and had everything you could possibly need. The price was very reasonable, and lucky for us in our budget. I give her 5stars, and would recommend this rental to anyone.

Great home in a great location

My friends and I do a trip to Kentucky each year to explore spots along the Bourbon trail. This home is very close to preservation distillery and many of the staples in Bardstown. We found the home to be everything we needed for our trip and would gladly stay again.

House was very nice and clean. Nice quiet neighborhood and in good proximity to downtown Bardstown. Great communication with property owner. Only suggestion would be to have some non-slip adhesives in the tub or grip bar. The tub was slippery. Great experience and would definitely go back.
