Fantastic home with all the amenities needed for any stay. The home was clean, comfortable and close to downtown Bardstown. Loved the outdoor sitting area and game area for relaxing after a day of distillery tours or traveling around the Bardstown area.

It is like a brand-new home with all the amenities that you would find and probably more than in your own home. The location is perfect for privacy and also close to what draws you to Bardstown and Louisville KY area. Restaurants are aplenty and a couple in particular that stood out are Lou Lou on Market and The Rick House. The host responded to the few questions I had and helped adjust my stay in a very timely manner. To the host, "THANK YOU"!

This house was in a perfect location for our bourbon trail trip. Bardstown is a quaint town and we really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and comfortable and had lots of great amenities. Melissa was very responsive and even had a link to the decor and furniture in the house if we were interested in buying them for ourselves. We will definitely stay here again if we are back in the area.

My family and I planned out various bourbon distillery tours around Bardstown, and wanted something close to everything for the trip. This house was just a few minutes away from the town center in a quiet neighborhood, surrounded by peace and trees. The place was spotless, and matched the photos exactly. Lots of little touches in the whole place: the bourbon and blues themed decorations; the bourbon bartender setup; large rounded ice cubes (perfect for, you guessed it, bourbon); and lots of amenities (utensils, hair dryer). There was a game room setup in the garage, a HUGE flatscreen TV in the living room (as well as smaller TVs in each of the bedrooms), a screened porch, and a paved walkway to Adirondack chairs and a fire pit. Melissa had a detailed instruction book with everything we needed, and checked in on us to make sure we got in ok and that everything was right. I would absolutely stay here again, and highly recommend it for anyone doing distillery tours in the Bardstown area.

Melissa's home is a great stay. It's well situated for the bourbon trail and very comfortable in general. It's well stocked, very clean, and everything is in great shape. Melissa's communication is great as well. It's one of the nicest Airbnbs that we've stayed in in some time. We would definitely return.

Top notch. Has to be our favorite AirBnB we’ve stayed in thus far. Very clean, felt right at home and slept like a baby! It was only about a mile and a half from downtown Bardstown with great shops and restaurants. I definitely recommend staying at bluegrass and bourbon. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We will be back!!
