I would definitely recommend this cottage if looking for a place to stay in Bardstown. Great location, walking distance to food and square. Great location to drive to distilleries around Bardstown. We had 4 adults, my husband and I and my mom and dad. Plenty of home for 4 adults, 2 couples. Two good full bathrooms, one on main floor and one in basement. We were able to have each shower run at same time as we all tried to get ready in morning with no problems, we had space to get ready without being in each others way. Good living room and kitchen to hangout with each other. Ashley, the host, was great. We had a question or two and she was quick to respond.

Loved the location. Walked to breakfast, dinner and out for drinks. Toured 4 distilleries and home to watch the OSU football game. The kitchen was well equipped. Nice neighborhood to walk in the morning. The basement someday will make a great game room and bar! We will be back for another visit.

Loved the cottage vibe, all about the Bourbon! Close to walk to everything we wanted to do!! Beautiful fall weather and colors.

We are 2 couples in our 40’s and thoroughly enjoyed our time at Cottage in the Rye. We used it as our base camp for exploring the Bourbon trail. It was conveniently drivable for various distilleries, walkable to many restaurants and bars, and had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for us, albeit a relatively tight upstairs half-bath. We also enjoyed the dining room for playing cards and drinking after a long day on the trail. The house was well stocked with things like salt, sugar, coffee and accoutrements, etc. All in all we enjoyed our stay at Cottage in the Rye.

If your looking for a great hub for the bourbon trail this is it! You will need a car to get around. During our stay we went to Louisville, Lexington and the distillers around Bardstown all within less than an hour away! The house has an old farm/cottage feel. It had plenty of small things that make renting a house nice such as plenty of paper towels, TP, spices & herbs, tinfoil and such along with plenty of towels & blankets. The check in was easy and simple with no hassle and Ashley was super accommodating and super responsive.

The cottage was adorable. It was well stocked and clean. The decor was cute. The beds were comfortable. The location was great. Ashley was quick to respond to all communication. Great Rental!

Had a great time at this cottage. Older home but very cute on the inside. Lots of room. Nice new bathroom in basement. Great location. Can walk into town easily. Be aware that one bedroom upstairs does not have air conditioning. It does have a ceiling fan which helped in extreme heat. Outside of the home could really use some sprucing up, e.g., pressure wash, paint, weeding. There is a nice size back yard which would be wonderful to use except it was very overgrown and not inviting.

My husband, I and a friend drove from Chicago to Bardstown to check out the distilleries in the area. We loved our stay at the Cottage in the Rye! The cottage was clean, comfortable and in a great area. Would highly recommend!!!

My sister and I stayed a few days with our adult sons on a Mom/Son trip. This location was perfect; and easily walkable to downtown. The large living room and kitchen provided comfortable spaces for just hanging out together. The separate dining room is great for breakfast in or playing cards. The house is well stocked with the essentials. We'd definitely stay there again.

My wife absolutely loved this house. It's a beautiful older house and very well furnished with a lot of bourbon décor. We were 6 and had plenty of space. Great location just a few blocks from downtown Bardstown.

The inside was clean and supplied with everything we needed. Beds were comfy, plenty of towels and kitchen well equipped. One bedroom upstairs did not have air conditioning but was cool enough. 2nd bedroom upstairs had a window unit. Main level full air. The outside needs some maintenance. We did enjoy sitting on the patio, but the overgrown plants and weeds were not ideal. It could be a beautiful yard if it were lanscaped. Over-all we were pleased with our choice, and the owner was very easy to work with.

Three friends stayed in Bardstown at the Cottage in the Rye for the weekend. Loved our cottage, clean, comfy and cozy. Toured Makers Mark, enjoyed the Stephen Foster Show, took the luncheon train and also toured the home Stephen Foster would stay in. The cottage was a perfect location to do and see every attraction. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us.

Place was roomy, clean, and neat. It was a pleasant surprise to see the basement bathroom refinished with a stand-up shower! Woohoo! The bathrooms were clean and well stocked. Loved the roominess of the place and feel of a great older house. Great location for most of the tours. Would definitely stay again!

The Cottage in the Rye was all that it was advertised to be. Quaint, great location, lovely back yard patio, a fun place to stay. We were there for a family reunion (Hurst, Brown and Bryant families) and the cottage met our needs fully.

Great house just as described on listing! Owner welcomed us with basket of treats. Easy walk to all downtown attractions.

it was perfect for four police officers to come visit the motherland the take the off in times of Biden america hell and damn it was good the house is old but fits the needs in all ways the lay out and the outside shoot area for the boys... would love to go back

We completely enjoyed our extended weekend. Excellent location!

This home is so quaint and cozy. Ample bedding and blankets. Comfortable furniture and great location to restaurants and bourbon. Ashley was very responsive and helpful! Thank you!

This was the perfect location and what a sweet little house!

Enjoyed the stay, home is older but full of charm and was clean and well decorated. Had one small issue and Ashley responded super quick and took care of the problem.

Property was charming and walking distance from downtown! It was perfect for our annual Bourbon Trail trip. Ashley was so great to work with!

Loved this home’s character, it was spacious for our family of 6 adults. Great location to walk into town. Ashley was responsive and handled a unique issue superbly!

House was very clean. Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was tight for two people. Second full bath is downstairs. No curtains on the windows in the kitchen or dining room which was a little creepy. No cable tv which was not a big issue but would have liked to watch local news/weather at night. Overall was satisfied with the house. Would stay in this house again.

I wish that the check in Book was more in-depth. I had a hard time communicating with the property manager. First Text and then email. She wasn’t able to help with get me connected to the local cable at all. Normally not a big deal but my mother wanted to watch the thanksgiving day parade and my father wanted to watch football for thanksgiving. Had to go to a neighbors house and watch it (football) on their Basic cable:(.

This place was everything we needed. We were right in the heart of Bourbon Country. Downtown has great food options and small business shopping. I highly recommend this place.

The cottage was in a great location. Close to several distilleries and walking distance to many restaurants. The owner was easy to reach for questions and the neighborhood was very quite. We had a great stay!

House was convenient to areas we wanted to see. Very good kitchen set up. The biggest problem was trying to communicate through the VRBO app. It wouldn’t load my messages. Fortunately the owner was very responsive to text communication.

This home is located in a quiet neighborhood which is an easy walk from downtown Bardstown. The home was well kept and clean. It provided us a nice base for visiting distilleries on the Bourbon Trail. I will try to book this property again when we return to the area.

House was very clean and comfortable. Walking distance to Bardstown square (4 1/2 blocks). Beds were very comfortable and has everything you might need. It is a very old house..so be prepared for some small bathrooms. Overall a great experience.

My wife and I had a small wedding and then stayed in Bardstown for the weekend. This place was, as my wife said, very cute. We both loved the property and it’s right next to the center of town where all the restaurants/bars are. Would definitely recommend this place and would stay again!

Wonderful house & stay!

This house is cute and cozy. It was in a great location to get to many things but not in the busy downtown. We stayed with another couple and were comfortable. The house was clean and we had everything we needed.
