Peaceful and Warming
It was a really precious place in the heart of Downtown Bardstown!!! It was very clean and the owners were helpful!!! The bed was comfortable and the kitchen spacious. We enjoyed the walkability of the location immensely. The water presure was spectaclar and tons of hot water for a deep soak in a cast iron tub!!! Only issues were the internet was slower than we we are accustomed too and the kitchen needed a few more accessories for a week long stay. I would definitely stay there again. It was a great experience.

Amazing, but…
This is actually a guest house, it was so much bigger than expected. Clean & Comfy. PERFECT Location!! We walked everywhere.
However, something not super clear in the listing is that the shared yard is actually the owner’s yard (so ur sharing a yard with the owners kids & dog. Definitely didn’t feel comfortable sitting outside at the table. Also, u might want to bring ur own toilet paper (the toilet paper was literally the worst I’ve ever seen) and you’ll need to grab some milk to make pancakes, the pancake mix is a nice bonus but u will need milk
The bed was amazing! Cute house, comfy house. Plenty of toiletries provided in the bathroom. I will definitely be staying here again.

Bardstown cottage
Great location to downtown Bardstown. Easy to get to. Positioned on quiet street. Clean, plenty of room inside.
Future enhancement may be to put a small privacy fence, small patio and a couple chairs at back door.
