About this property

Bluegrass & Bourbon - a Peaceful Retreat & Hangout

Retreat to your peaceful hangout after a day of exploring all that Bardstown and Kentucky has to offer! Relax by the fireplace and stream a movie on the 75" TV, cook a full meal in the well-stocked kitchen, create a unique cocktail with all the tools you could wish for, breathe fresh air on the screened-in porch that borders greenspace, challenge friends to poker in the game room, grill dinner on our charcoal grill, or roast hot dogs and marshmallows on the firepit area. This must be the place.

Friends having fun!

We enjoyed our time very much at Bluegrass and Bourbon. The home was lovely, clean and well kept up. It was a perfect “ home” away from home for us and another couple. We enjoyed your screened in porch for our coffee and at night as well.

3 Riding Buddies Spring Motorcycle Road Trip

We selected Bardstown since it is the Bourbon Capital of the World. We road our motorcycles from our home in Auburn,Al to spend 4 days riding the Bourbon Trail. Although a little cool in the mornings, we had excellent weather. We very had schedule several distillery tours & visited many others. We also got the chance to visit Keeneland & Church Hill Downs. It was an excellent week! The house was perfect with very nice amenities. We could not have asked for a better property in a central location with a very responsive owner! We plan to make this trip again in the Fall! 5 Stars. I’d give it six hours if allowed!

Bourbon tour

We truly enjoyed this property. Very clean. Neighborhood was very quiet. I would recommend to everyone. It was centrally located for everything we wanted to do. The only thing I would say is that they need more hangers in the closet.

1st time on the Bourbon Trail

Bluegrass & Bourbon was a perfect home-base for our Bourbon tour! The location was ideal: close to a few distilleries on our list, and not too far from the others we visited. Love the theme ;) and the bar cart had everything we needed to make yummy bourbon cocktails! The game room was fun for the guys and we all really enjoyed sitting on the screened porch and around the fire pit. Beds were comfy and the house was spotless! The owner is the host which makes it so personable, and they had great suggestions for making the most of our trip.

Beautiful Spot

This was the perfect spot for us. We were there with another couple for a family event. The house is beautiful (pictures as usual don't do it justice), in a quiet neighborhood. The beds were very comfortable, rooms spacious and screened in porch was perfect. The host had the right balance of communication leading up to, upon arrival and near departure so I always knew what to expect and that I could easily reach her if we had any issues (which we did not). The only thing that would have been better is if the weather had cooperated and we were able to use the fire pit. It was sort of rainy and pretty windy so we skipped that, but maybe next time. :)

The people here are just so nice!
