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.

Comfortable and clean smaller home with easy access to local area. All beds were comfortable, plenty of kitchen/cooking supplies, ample parking, and a lovely back deck for the cool mornings. There was even a nice greeting committee of the neighbor's cats.

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.
