We had a wonderful stay at the Bourbon Trail Getaway. Daci was so kind to accommodate our check in needs, which was truly appreciated. The neighborhood was very cute and the house felt like home. And kudos for having super comfortable furniture! We will book again in the future.
Stayed for the weekend while doing bourbon tours. Great location and great house. Close enough to 64 to get into Louisville but without the craziness of the city. Would recommend. Very spacious and comfortable house!
We had a great trip to visit the bourbon trail. The house is in a great, central location to visit various distilleries! Daci was a great host and was very responsive and accommodating!
All aspects were very good, clean, fresh and comfy. The hosts were very responsive to our requests, all areas looked new. We loved the cozy couch and decor. We didn't get to play pool but it was great to have that option. Area was quiet and safe, and not too far from where we needed to go. Great restaurants close by. Great stay for a large family or several couples. Big bedrooms and common area to hang out.
Enjoyed Bourbon Barrel. It is located just off the main highway and centrally located between Louisville and Frankfort. This was the perfect base for our Bourbon Tours and was very comfortable and clean!
Property was exactly as advertised. Clean lots of amenities. Great location for exploring the many distilleries in the area. Hot tub was a great way to relax after long day of exploration
We had a great time…loved the place… Nice to be able to be close to the local distilleries and golf… Thanks again for having us….we’ll most likely be back!
The property was clean and just as advertised! We enjoyed our stay and appreciate the host being kind enough to let us in a little early to accommodate for our travels. Overall, a great experience! Thank you
The property was beautifully designed and well-equipped, providing everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We truly appreciate the thoughtful layout and overall ambience of the home. However there were a few concerns that should be noted. We encountered some insects and spiders inside of home. And the hot tub not adequately cleaned, which unfortunately prevented us from using it. While these issues did not overshadow the overall experience they are worth addressing to ensure an even better stay for future guest. With a bit more attention to cleanliness and maintenance, this home had the potential to be exceptional.
Excellent stay all the way around! We had our family of four (including 2 kids) plus the grandparents. Four roomy bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (1 with full tub) have everyone the space they needed and kept the peace! The kitchen and living room (with the comfiest furniture) were spacious and open. We loved the decor - especially the horse and cow pictures, very tasteful. The hot tub was a plus. The pool table was the biggest hit, by far. The room is actually big enough to play comfortably.There is a nice laundry room if needed. The hosts were very responsive and they answered all questions quickly. Check in was super easy and we found the location central to all the things on our wish list.We visited the Louisville Slugger Museum (Malibu Jack's is a great indoor break for kids also), the ARK Encounter and a trail ride (Whispering Woods in Georgetown). We shopped at the Bluegrass Outlets (shopping and food options with lots of shady places to sit when the guys were tired of it)!
