As advertised

A great location and very quiet area. House was very clean and well kept. We walked to most of our destinations due to the location which was very nice. Only constructive criticism i would give is a dead bolt lock on back door, some kind of foot stool and end table in living room. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Getaway!

My husband and I were supposed to be on a cruise but it got cancelled so we decided to do a short kid-free getaway to Bardstown. This cottage was perfect for us! It’s so clean and it within walking distance of the downtown square! We walked everywhere and enjoyed tons of yummy bourbon! I highly recommend this cottage. The only thing that could’ve been better was if it had a king size bed instead of a queen but that’s just a small detail.

Perfect for Kentucky Bourbon Trail

The carriage house was perfect for a couple- one bedroom and one bath. Centrally located to many bourbon distilleries and a short walk to “downtown Bardstown “, this rental was comfortable and convenient. You do hear street noise and the owners live right next door.

Cute and Fun

The cottage was very clean and well maintained. It was a quiet, peaceful setting especially at night.The owners live next door and we're very friendly. The location was excellent, walking distance to all that historic Bardstown has to offer.Only issue we had was that the mattress was very very soft. It was not supportive and both of us had difficulty finding a sleeping position that did not cause back discomfort.That was the only negative. Otherwise very good.

Very kool guesthouse

On our way back to Canada from our winter holiday in Florida we planned to stop in Bardstown for a few days of distillery tours. This little house was perfect for our stay as it has all the comforts of home and is walking distance to restaurants, bars and shops. We travelled with our little dog so it also checked the boxes for being pet-friendly with great places to walk the pooch. Amy and Eli were delightful hosts, excellent communicators and have a great sense of humour (private joke). Great job guys and thanks for the opportunity to enjoy your guest house!

Great location

It was our first time to Kentucky and this was the perfect quaint little house in the perfect quaint little town. Everything was in walking distance. The civil war museum was down the street. You could also walk to all the restaurants and shops in the towns roundabout. You could park your car and not get back in it until you had to leave town.

Perfect spot for a couple's getaway

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Guest House. The hosts' dog Doobie was an excellent greeter! The 1 bedroom Guest House was the perfect size and in a great location for our distillery tour vacation. Just blocks off the main streets in Bardstown, we were close to all our favorite spots but avoided the noise. The kitchen with full sized appliances was great for an extended weekend trip.
