Great location for visiting local distilleries. Downtown Bardstown was only a 10-15 minute walk so we didn’t have to worry about driving after visiting a couple bourbon bars in town.

Check in was a breeze and the young woman at the desk was friendly. She told us when the fire would be started in the outdoor fireplace that night. We took advantage of the warm November night and sat by the fireplace..That was a great perk!
