Welcome to The Rickhouse Retreat by Destino Getaways
Your private Bardstown retreat for milestone trips, executive retreats, and luxury weekends. Practice on the golf simulator, screen a film in the curved cinema, then reset in the wellness suite with an infrared sauna and two massage chairs guests rave about. Dine at the ten seat table, work from dedicated desks, and spread out across three outdoor zones with a year round hot tub. Seasonal pool on site, unheated, open April 15 to September 30.
What guests love at a glance • Private entertainment annex with golf simulator and curved screen cinema • In home wellness suite with infrared sauna and two massage chairs • Bourbon themed tasting lounge for pre tour flights and nightcaps • Year round private hot tub; Seasonal pool, unheated and open April 15 to September 30, weather permitting. • Quiet, private setting close to world famous distilleries and historic Bardstown • Clean, well supplied spaces with simple self check in and fast Wi Fi
The Experience Arrive, slow down, and savor. Whether you are celebrating a milestone, reconnecting with friends, or hosting a small retreat, each area is designed for easy gathering. Sophisticated enough for entertaining. Relaxed enough for real connection. The main level open kitchen, dining, and living space suits bourbon paired dinners or unhurried mornings with coffee. Wood, brass, and leather echo aging oak while large windows bring in soft country light.
The Wellness Retreat On the lower level, a private wellness suite delivers rare recovery on the Bourbon Trail. Two full body massage chairs provide deep, restorative sessions beside softly lit salt wall panels. Guests consistently call these chairs their favorite part of the stay. Step into the infrared sauna to release tension, then finish with a warm towel from the custom towel bar. It is a sensory reset between tastings, meetings, and celebrations.
Rick Row Lounge Adjacent to the wellness suite, Rick Row 7 sets the mood for flights and conversation. Rich textures, dimmable lighting, and bourbon tones create a modern speakeasy feel. The table features a group friendly puzzle that invites quiet connection while you sample your latest finds.
The Annex: Golf, Cinema, and Strategy A few steps from the main house, the private annex adapts to your plans. Challenge friends on the golf simulator with clubs provided. Host movie night on the projection screen with a curved display. Gather your team for focused planning. Flexible seating and a popcorn machine complete the experience.
Outdoor Living • Kentucky evenings are the star with three distinct zones that make time outside effortless. • Covered wood deck with a dining table for ten for alfresco meals and long conversations • Basement walkout cigar lounge with a sectional and two swivel chairs, framed by outdoor curtains for comfort and privacy • Fire pit circle with ten Adirondack chairs, cushions stored in the outdoor deck box, and throw blankets in the indoor cabinet nearby • Seasonal pool on site. Unheated. Open April 15 to September 30. Closed outside these dates. Weather permitting. The private hot tub is available year round.
Bedrooms and Baths Five thoughtfully styled bedrooms across three levels balance comfort and personality. Three king suites and two queen bedrooms feature plush linens, smart TVs, and curated art. Several rooms include dedicated workspaces for guests who blend relaxation with productivity. Four full bathrooms combine function with understated elegance to keep groups moving easily.
Every Detail, Designed for Connection Coffee and tea stations on each level make mornings easy. Barware and bourbon inspired decor honor Kentucky craftsmanship. From the wellness suite to the golf and cinema annex, every element is built to bring people together in comfort, conversation, and style.
Bardstown and Bloomfield Location Set between Bardstown and Bloomfield, the home gives you the best of bourbon country. You are close to Bardstown’s world famous distilleries, restaurants, and historic downtown, while Bloomfield offers a relaxed small town Main Street with local dining and antique finds. It feels private and quiet, yet it is an easy drive to tastings, tours, and dinner reservations.
Minutes to what matters • Bardstown Bourbon Company, Heaven Hill, Willett, and other noted distilleries within an easy drive • Historic Downtown Bardstown for dining, shops, and bourbon bars • Bloomfield Main Street for cafes, antiques, and local markets • My Old Kentucky Home State Park for tours, golf, and walking paths • Grocery, pharmacy, and essentials a short drive away
Why guests love this spot • Famous Bourbon Trail access without staying in the middle of town • Simple routes for multiple tasting rooms in a day • Quiet nights, dark skies, and easy returns after dinner or a show • Central base for day trips to Louisville and Lexington
What to Expect Accurate photos, simple self check in, fast Wi Fi, and professional cleaning before each stay. Responsive, respectful hosting by Destino Getaways.

This house was set up very well for a relaxing stay. Everyone appreciated how clean it was and having the massaging chairs was a fantastic bonus. Thank you for an amazing weekend!

Five-star stay near the Bourbon Trail
We had an absolutely amazing stay at the Rickhouse Retreat in Bardstown. From the moment we arrived, it was clear how thoughtfully this home was designed — beautiful interiors, incredibly cozy, and so many fun and relaxing amenities. We loved everything from the hot tub and sauna to the massage chairs, and there was truly something to enjoy around every corner.
Rosa was wonderful to work with and had great communication throughout our stay. Everything we needed was provided, and the home was perfectly set up for a comfortable, stress-free getaway.
The location was also perfect — private and secluded enough to truly unwind, yet so close to the Bourbon Trail and all that Bardstown has to offer. It was the best of both worlds.
We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Rickhouse Retreat to anyone looking for a memorable, relaxing, and beautifully curated stay.

We left wishing we’d planned to stay longer!!
What an incredible place! We only stopped for one night during our road trip, and our group of six quickly realized we didn’t have nearly enough time here. We arrived tired from a James Beam tour and spent the first hour just walking through the home saying, “wait, look at this,” again and again. You can tell Rosa puts real thought into every detail.
The sauna and massage chairs were exactly what we needed after a long day. We melted into those chairs, enjoying the quiet. Later we opened the bottles we’d picked up on the trail and gathered in the speakeasy lounge. It felt like going out without leaving the house!
The biggest surprise was the annex building. We hadn’t planned to use the golf simulator on a short stay, but we ended up watching a show on the huge curved screen like it was our own private theater.
Check-in was simple, communication was easy, and the house just works. It feels comfortable, thoughtful, and designed for groups who want to unwind in style. Next time, we’ll plan for at least 4 nights, maybe even 5!
There were more than enough good things at this home. The weather prevented us from outdoor activities like pool, hot tub, or fire pit. We had ample room for personal privacy with more than enough bathrooms. We were doing Bourbon touring and only 5 minutes from Bardstown was great.We would stay at this place again.
