Stayed at HayJac for 5 nights touring the area and distilleries. A trip of complete success due to the location of the house in Bardstown, the location of Bardstown to the distilleries and the awesomeness of HayJac house!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hated to leave! The furnishings were high end and we wanted for nothing. The attention to detail was unsurpassed. Enjoyed time on the back porch too. Was convenient to walk into town and the doughnut shop next door was the cherry on top! A big thank you to our hosts who were most accommodating and I would not hesitate to stay again!

Beautiful property, my husband and I both loved the house. The primary en-suite is incredible. Walking distance to shops, several restaurants and cocktail bars and great donuts just around the corner. Highly recommend this property for adults. Great base for touring several distilleries, Lincoln’s birthplace and Bernheim Forest. Jim is a great host. He took the time to check on our well being during a major rain storm, most appreciated.

What a wonderful experience from beginning to end! We highly recommend Jim and Gina’s beautiful Bardstown house. There was nothing else we could have asked for- from the great communication before, to the impeccable details of the house, to the story book town of Bardstown. Thank you Jim and Gina! We will definitely be back!

Hayjac House is a perfect location for the bourbon trail. Walkable to so many restaurants in Bardstown. The house is just right for two couples. We enjoyed live music at Scout and Scholar both Friday and Saturday nights from the house’s patio. Our second stay won’t be our last!

The Hayjac home made our Bardstown’s visit incredible. The home is immaculate and has everything you need to compliment your visit. Everything was just a short walk away. The music from the brewery next door was an added bonus. The host Jim was extremely responsive and accommodating. Definitely will be back.

This gem is perfect in every way! This was our second spring to stay here and we will be back. My husband and I love the master suite with huge bath, closet and a comfortable bed very similar to our own…..split king which elevates.
Tops for us:
Location…walk to anything downtown! Plus, Bardstown itself is great for bourbon tours, restaurants, Lincoln’s memorial, old cemeteries, beautiful countryside! Cleanliness, decor, comfortable furniture, cooling/heating, bath and kitchen products. I could go on and on….plus EVERYTHING WORKS! We have stayed here a total of eight nights in 11 months and have not had one complaint!
I asked my husband what he thought was the best thing and he said “Damn, everything is always perfect!”

The HayJac house is a very comfortable home in the center of Bardstown. This is our second time here and it feels like "going home" to a favorite spot we've been to many times before. Jim and Gina are wonderful hosts and have stocked the home completely with nice things to use during a stay. We will return every chance we get!

Located in the heart of the Bourbon Capital of The World, The HayJac house is the perfect place to launch your bourbon vacation adventures. Walking distance to great restaurants and shopping and less than a 10 minute drive to 3 distilleries. The home is beautifully done and is probably the cleanest VRBO we've stayed in. Jim, our host, was very helpful with our questions and made us feel right at home! We highly recommend the HayJac house and can't wait to visit again,

Absolutely the best Bardstown property we have stayed at. Location was perfect for wondering around the town after a day around Kentucky. The house seems newly renovated with what no expense spared. Everything was very clean and new. Everything worked as it should. This property is in a league of its own in Bardstown. After 5+ trips and different rentals, we have definitely found the place we will be choosing when we return. Thanks for everything.

This house was perfect for two couples. We had a wonderful stay at HayJac. The house was beautifully decorated and well equipped. There were several areas for us to gather. We especially enjoyed the back patio where we could enjoy live music from the restaurant next door. We visited Maker’s Mark and Mammoth Cave. We highly recommend HayJac for anyone staying in Bardstown.

We spent four wonderful days in Bardstown. The house was absolutely beautiful and Jim and Gina thought of everything! The location was great, we walked to the bakery every morning, and to dinner and shops in the evening. We were able to visit 10 different distilleries, most within 30 minutes of the house. I cannot say enough about this property, it was absolutely perfect. We are looking forward to coming back next year!

This was my first time staying in a VRBO. It was perfect. The home was beautiful inside and outside. We especially enjoyed sitting on the outdoor covered patio. The location was also great.

HayJac house is the place to stay while in Bardstown. This home will not disappoint you. There is more than enough space and essentials for two couples at the home. Jim and Gina have made sure their guests are comfortable by stocking the home with extra bath towels, toiletries, and kitchen essentials. They even thought of little things like small throw blankets for the cool mornings or evenings, extra wine and bourbon glasses and a supply of coffee. They were quick to respond to any communication. The home is nicely decorated and very clean. Hadorns bakery is next door and is a must to visit and other restaurants are within walking distance. The back patio is a great place to relax after a day on the Bourbon Trail.

It was everything mentioned in the listing an more. The house was so clean and had such nice details. - Master bed and bath were wonderful. They even supplied high end shampoo, conditioner, soap lotion etc. The Kitchen was well stocked with everything needed.
The location was great. - Walking distance to everything. There was a singer at the scout and scholar(the brew pub right next door - actually right in the back yard) on our last night. Wed sat in the back yard and just listened. - It was great. - And it was over at 10 pm so it wasn't loud at all if you did want to go to bed early.
Many recommendations from the owners, which we tried and agree with.
Will be back!!!

Very few rentals live up to their online pictures. The HayJac house exceeded our expectations & may be the nicest vrbo that we've stayed in. Our friends stayed with us for 2 nights and were very impressed. Jim was the perfect host. His place is within walking distance of the Oscar Getz Museum, restaurants and bars. If we return to Bardstown...it would be to stay at The HayJac house. Thank you, Jim & Gina
