A sauna?!? Yes. A four person barrel sauna.
A welcoming place to enjoy your vacation with friends or family.
The couch is extra deep and the vibe is extra chill
A full bar and game room in the lower level. All the barware you could want.
Do you sense a theme yet? It's giving... relaxation.

About this property

Bourbon Blue - Toast Trailside with Family and Friends! 8 minutes from Downtown

A great place to hang with friends, Bourbon Blue is your destination for larger groups visiting the Bourbon Trail. Enjoy the barrel sauna, 75" Roku TV with Guest Mode & deep couch in living room, 40" Roku TV with Guest Mode in each bedroom, multiple covered outdoor gathering spaces including dining space for ten & firepit, horseshoes, connect four, putting green, fully-equipped kitchen & bar area, foosball table & game space, and most importantly - serenely comfy beds! Located 8 minutes from downtown Bardstown and a straight shot down main street toward Louisville. Bourbon Blue is waiting!

The space
Bourbon Blue is located along a main road (only two lanes, though) connecting Louisville and Bardstown, but is very quiet indoors and has a privacy fence. A sound machine is provided in the only room with a window that faces the street, but we haven't found it to be a problem.

Description
Welcome to Bourbon Blue, the perfect spot for a fun getaway with friends or family! If you’re planning a trip to the Bourbon Trail, this is the place to be for larger groups, with nearly 3000 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, and flexible sleeping arrangements. We can sleep up to 10, but we have found smaller groups also enjoy the home so they may have their own bedrooms!

Kick back in the spacious living room, where a deep, comfy couch and a massive 75" Roku TV make it the ideal hangout zone. Each bedroom has its own 40" Roku TV too, so everyone can enjoy their favorite shows in bed. All TVs have Guest Mode, which will sign you out of your streaming services on your checkout day!

Step outside and discover our awesome covered gathering areas. Whether you're dining outdoors or chilling by the firepit, these spaces are perfect for enjoying the fresh air and good company. And don’t miss out on the barrel sauna – it's the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring the Bourbon Trail and all that Kentucky has to offer.

Our fully-equipped kitchen and bar areas make it easy to whip up meals and drinks for the group. Plus, we've got a foosball table and a game space to keep the good times rolling.

When it’s time to crash, you’ll love our super comfy beds. After a restful night’s sleep, you’ll wake up ready for another day of adventure.

We’re just eight minutes from downtown Bardstown, just outside the formal city limits, on one full acre of land. Whether you’re here to check out the local distilleries, shop, or dine, everything’s close by.

Bourbon Blue is all set to be your home away from home. Come on over and make some great memories – we can’t wait to have you!

Guest access
The entire home is yours for the length of your stay, minus a small storage room. The entire 1 acre property with ample parking is also at your disposal. The side door (main entrance) has an automated lock, so you will be able to come and go as you please.

Other things to note
Please ensure you read and agree to our house rules before your stay. The guestbook also includes helpful hints about your stay. Digital guestbook is available via QR code when you get inside the home.

Great Spot in Bardstown

The property was perfect for our needs and the host was incredibly communicative and helpful. Everyone had their own, comfortable room (four adult men), the common areas were great, and it was conveniently located near all of the local distilleries and shopping. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook a great meal, and even had sharp knives which is rare! We did find that Uber didn't work as well as we had hoped, and the local car service had an hour wait, so for future stays we'd arrange transportation ahead of time. Would definitely recommend this spot to friends.

Birthday Trip

This house was absolute amazing for our group of 7 friends. The house was extremely clean, kitchen furnishings were abundant, everything labeled and plenty of space. The owner was very respondent to all my messages and reached out several times to see if we needed anything. This will be our top choice when we come back.

Obsessed with this House!!

We visited Bourbon Blue for my husbands 50th birthday weekend - 7 adults fit very comfortably and more could have joined with no problem! The house is so cute and was EXACTLY what we wanted for the weekend. Downstairs game room/bar is super fun and the couch upstairs could hold all of us while we watched a game. It was too cold and windy to sit outside but the yard is big and would be fun if we’d been able to use it. We may make this a yearly stay!

A WONDERFUL Stay at Bourbon Blue!

I had an incredible stay at Bourbon Blue with a group of friends all coming to explore the Bourbon Trail! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The house was beautifully decorated and had plenty of space with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was the perfect retreat after a long day with multiple tours.Being centrally located allowed us to explore multiple distilleries, in different regions, and we never had that far to travel to return and relax for the evening.The host was fantastic: quick to respond, friendly, and had great recommendations for the area.If you're planning a Bourbon Trail adventure, Bourbon Blue is the place to stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely book again in the future!

Great distillery trip with friends!

We had four adult couples travel to Bardstown to visit the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. The house was easy to get to, close to a lot of attractions, and held all of us with ease! There was plenty of seating at the kitchen table for us for meals and games, lots of kitchen amenities for us to make meals at home rather than have to find restaurants, and plenty of space on the couch for all of us to hang out in the evenings! The description was accurate, the house was clean, and everything went smoothly! This house was good for our adult only trip, but would also have been good if our kids were with us. Overall we had a great experience and would definitely come back in the future.

Blissful

This place was incredible! Don’t pass this one by…it won’t stay available for long! The property was immaculate, spacious, amenities plentiful! We really enjoyed the community, the property, and of course sightseeing. Your recommendations for bourbon distilleries to see and check out were amazing and convenient to get to and from. We loved unwinding and enjoying time with friends. We will for sure be back. 10/10 experience all around. Once this catches on, I suspect it will be hard to book. Run and don’t second guess booking this incredible place!! Simply an amazing time!! Thank you again!!!

About the host

Hosted by Melissa

Host profile image
We live in Florida, but Melissa was born and grew up in Kentucky. We still have family here and we love to stay in Bardstown!

Distillery tours are a hobby for us, but we also love to immerse ourselves in the peaceful country while we are here. In particular, we like to visit some of the local restaurants and shops. Mammoth Cave is also an amazing place to visit. You will find that the people here in Bardstown are just so nice!

We are considered "Super Hosts" and "Premier Hosts" (depending on the platform) because this is our second vacation rental home. We have another place in Bardstown that caters to smaller groups. It is considered in the top 1% of all vacation rental homes on the other platform. We are owner/hosts and we love it!

Why they chose this property

I love where this house is located. It is between Louisville and Bardstown, but in a country area, while being right along the main (two lane) connecting road. Bardstown is, of course, the start of the Bourbon Trail, and considered the Bourbon Capital of the World. Just great location all around.

What makes this property unique

There are not many homes in Bardstown that can hold larger parties. This home has lots of space and bedrooms, with multiple relaxation spaces indoors and outdoors. It's really a great place to spend some time when you are done exploring Kentucky for the day.
