This is a fantastic place to stay if you plan on visiting the Bourbon Trail like my family and I did. The house was clean and well maintained and is definitely one of the top places I have stayed at. Will definitely look to book again if we come back to the area.

This is my third time staying here and would highly recommend to anyone looking in the Bardstown area. As usual, everything was well maintained and super clean. The amenities are great throughout the entire house and the location to get around the area is perfect. We will be back again!!

We loved Melissa's place as basecamp for all things Bardstown and the surrounding Kentucky Bourbon Trail. The house is really nice. Kitchen, main living area and the bathrooms easily elevate a stay on the KBT. We were there in winter so did not use the outdoor spaces but the patio and firepit looked like a must in the evenings when warm. The location is good just outside of the more busy downtown and easy access to the Bardstown distilleries and well as a few other main distilleries (i.e., Maker's Mark and Jim Beam) that are 20-30 min away. I wouldn't miss either. Don't sleep on Lux Row Distillers if you don't know them. They did a great tour and then tasting in their old stone house. Make sure you fit in The Bar at Willet for some small plates and cocktails. In summary, we would definitely stay here again. Next time we will come back with another couple as their are two sizeable main bedrooms.

This was our second time staying here, and it was just as perfect as the first! This truly is one of the best BnB’s we’ve ever visited. From comfort and cleanliness to the close distance to Bardstown’s, many distilleries and restaurants galore. I can’t speak only on the house because Melissa deserves so much praise. She is the most courteous hosts we’ve encountered in our many years of traveling. The home is so well stocked & maintained..she has thought of absolutely everything one may need while traveling. We always feel completely at home here and it will be the place we return to for many years to come! If you’re looking for a Bourbon Trail destination or just a stop along the way- Melissa’s place will outdo the rest!

Beautiful home and a great space for our family! Everything was clearly marked with easy instructions. The space was super clean with EVERY amenity you could possibly want. Melissa was quick to respond when we did have a question. We would absolutely stay there again!

What a great place! It fit right in with our bourbon trail weekend with friends. My only recommendation would be to switch the twin beds out for a queen in one of the bedrooms. It was very clear so we knew what we were getting into but it would be nice to have another bedroom with a bed for my husband and I to share. I’m sure they have their reasons though! :) and it really didn’t take away from the experience! We all enjoyed our stay!
