Cute and clean house

The neighborhood itself is very rural and rundown, with an abandoned building across from the home. We felt safe, but the area was just odd. Interior of home was gorgeous.

Visit to the Bourbon Trail

Met old friends from NC in KY for a 3 day tour of the Bourbon Trail. Loved the property and all the games available at the house. Everything was clean upon arrival and communication was easy. Thanks for a great stay! - Tom

Perfect for wedding weekend

This was the perfect place for my husband and I with two adult children to stay. We were in the area for a wedding at Log Still Distillery. The location was very convenient. Two bathrooms and a full kitchen made prep time easy. The living room was super comfy. We should have stayed one more day to enjoy the excellent outdoor space and games.

Cute & cozy place!

We loved this place! It was perfectly close to Log Still Distillery and their music venue. About 20-30 minutes from other distilleries and Bardstown. We would definitely come back.

Weekend Away

Very clean, well-appointed home -- enjoyed our stay for the weekend. Our only suggestion to make it better would be to extend the sidewalk to the driveway so you're not walking thru wet grass to/from the house. Otherwise, it was perfect! Thanks for a great experience.

Great Stay

We enjoyed staying in the property so much! There was a lot of room, we were pleasantly surprised. We enjoyed playing bumper pool, it was a fun evening activity to do. Having coffee, creamer and eggs were a huge bonus and we are grateful for it! Everything was very clean and the pillows were very comfortable, so rare in a hotel or rental property. All of the extras like shampoo, conditioner and a hair dryer were awesome to have. It was very peaceful and a nice stay. Thanks!

Perfect spot!

This home was really perfect! So comfortable and cozy. Fit our family perfectly with 7 of us. The house was equipped with anything you could possibly need for your stay! Great location for bourbon trail as well. My husband and son-in-law really enjoyed the bar area to watch some football and smoke a cigar!

2nd time here

We love this place for our friends’ weekend so much that we came back. And we will be back. We travel there in a motorhome and it was our transportation for 8 of us around to our stops. Six slept comfortably in the rental and two slept in the motorhome.

Weekend trip

The New Hope Bourbon Stop was the perfect place for my family to get together for a weekend celebrating my dad. Close location to Makers Mark and a nice place to unwind and relax. There were so many neat decorations and the amenities provided made the stay worry free. Meg even left farm fresh eggs in the fridge for our stay!

Weekend trip

Awesome home to rent, close to Bardstown. Plenty of things to do with in a short distance. Home had everything you could need. Refrigerator stocked with breakfast items and farm fresh eggs, even had fresh fruit on the kitchen counter. Everything needed for a campfire in the evening. Home was very clean, beds were comfortable. Perfect place for 6 adults. Highly recommend!

This home very comfortable, clean and well stocked. Sharon made sure all our needs were meet. The kitchen had everything needed including a fully stocked refrigerator with everything needed for breakfast each morning. The beds were comfortable and there was lots of towels and extra blankets. We loved hanging out in the bar area. I can’t say enough good things about this place. It’s the best VRBO home I’ve stayed at.

Really great little home near Bardstown

Some buddies gathered to attend the annual Kentucky Bourbon Festival in Bardstown. This home was great for us. Just enough room to rest comfortably and cook a big breakfast each day. Thanks to Ms. Sharon for her friendly hostessing.

Sharon’s 🥃 stop was the perfect space for our group of 8. The home is so beautiful and set up perfectly inside and out for groups to enjoy themselves. The generous breakfast foods were so appreciated. The grill and all of the household amenities were top notch. We will return!!!

Solitude and comfort in the heart of the bourbon trail

Our family stayed here for a 3 night stay as we explored the bourbon trail around Bardstown. It exceeded our expectations! The fridge was well stocked for our breakfasts and everything you could possibly need was at your finger tips. The house was spotlessly clean, the beds were very comfortable and fluffy towels greeted you in the 2 bathrooms. Outside there was a fire pit, horse shoes, and string lights that provided a wonderful gathering area each evening. It was about a 15 minute drive to Bardstown, but we enjoyed the tranquil setting.
