Incredible! We will be staying again!

Honestly, I cannot say enough good things about this beautiful house. Emily thinks of every detail. We’ve stayed in our fair share of VRBOs and this is the best we’ve ever stayed in. It’s the best appointed we’ve experienced - it’s loaded with plenty of towels, linens, and it’s wonderfully laid out. Several of us are chemically sensitive to smells (especially on sheets and linens) and she didn’t use anything that was perfumed. Everything was immaculately clean. I had a question or two and she responded immediately. The location is great. I could go on and on. Trust me, this place is a “must stay”. You won’t regret it.

Bardstown Bourbon Trail College Reunion

The property was perfect. Very clean and the primary shower is exceptional. The only thing that was a slight let down was the proximity to downtown and the lack of Ubers in the area. Not something the property manager can control. I do highly recommend this property especially if you plan on visiting distilleries by day and hanging out in the house by night.

Home Away From Home

This property was a pleasant surprise! So conveniently located to Heaven Hill Distillery where my husband’s Bike MS ride was headquartered. We enjoyed quiet nights and had all the amenities including an outdoor dining space with party lights! Our two grandchildren enjoyed watching all the rabbits and birds in the shady front yard and played wiffle ball in the large backyard. Thanks to our host for thinking of everything to make us feel right at home!

Amazing Gem in Bardstown!

From the moment we walked in, Emily's property just "felt like home". The 3/2 home was immaculate and warm, just a perfect retreat for those looking for some away time with family or friends and disconnect from the busy world around us. The kitchen had every accessory imaginable so mornings started right with fresh ground coffee and a great meal before hitting the bourbon trail. At night, we were able to engage as a family around the firepit, ignoring our phones and just ... talking - or star gazing. We were able to just be in the moment - everything a vacation is supposed to be. Rooms were warmly appointed, hangers and towels a plenty, beds were firm yet super comfortable, and my 15 year old son swears the couch is "the best" in existence. With nightlights and clear labels on switches we didn't spend days learning to navigate the house, it truly was our "home-a-way" from home. Located just outside (as in 1 minute from 'downtown') Bardstown, you are rural enough to feel the space around you, but close enough to the city that everything is super convenient. Only 10 minutes away from either Kroger or Wal-Mart, getting groceries and stocking up is a breeze. If you are a bourbon fan, you've got to check out Bardstown distillery for a tour and lunch, Heaven & Hill's tasting bar and for super small, but unique hit up Preservation. All are within 5 - 10 minutes of the property and give you that warm KY hug need. Thank you Emily, you are the best host ever!

We had such a remarkable stay in July, we knew we had to return this fall. Emily is an amazing host! Bottled in Bardstown is simply the best accommodation in the region. Traveling with my sister and brother-in-law, Emily welcomed us back with a lovely charcuterie upon arrival. No detail is left undone. We are looking forward to another stay!

The house was perfect! very clean, Everything was stocked and they had everything you could think of from a streamer for clothes, lint rollers, shampoo, soap and fully stocked kitchen utensils. Emily even had bottled water, snacks and a charcuterie board in the fridge for us. Also she wrote a great hand written letter. The patio was very nice for relaxing and the fire pit was a great way to wind down the day. I fully recommend and we will defiantly be staying anytime we are in the area!

Our group of three couples has an amazing stay at Emily’s house for a long weekend. The house was even better than expected. It was super clean, included thoughtful touches like bathroom supplies and local attraction info, and was centrally located to several distilleries and restaurants. We loved the backyard fire pit and large dining table for hanging out. We felt completely at home and would return in a heartbeat.

Why they chose this property

This home is only 2-minutes away from historic downtown Bardstown and is on a full acre of land. The home backs up to a cul-de-sac filled with wonderful neighbors. Right next door is even a retired horse trainer.

What makes this property unique

The open floor plan of the main living spaces will keep your group connected. Prepare a bourbon tasting on the kitchen island, play a rousing game of foosball, lounge on the couch after a long day of distillery tours, or head outside to the fire pit and view the spectacular Bardstown stars through our telescope.
