Bourbon Manor is a grand bed and breakfast in Bardstown that is perfectly situated close to the action, but still in a private and relaxing setting. It's tucked away on a beautifully landscaped property that's filled with history and charm.
The Inn was originally built in 1820 as an antebellum mansion and has lived several lives since. But for more than two decades, it has been a bed and breakfast in Bardstown, and in recent years has been known as the best of the best.
The current owners invested $250,000 in the Inn to renovate and restore its incredible beauty. You'll notice the attention to details, antique decor, and cozy atmosphere from the minute you walk through the door.
The B&B offers 10 guest rooms, each appropriately named with a bourbon theme. In fact, Bourbon Manor is known as the first bourbon-themed bed and breakfast in the world. The "Sweet Old-Fashioned" is shown below and is one of many lovely rooms to choose from.
The rest of the home is just as enchanting, especially the dining room, where you'll enjoy a wonderful country breakfast. During your visit, you'll want to plan for some down time to cozy up with a good book, or even visit the Day Spa located right on the property.
The exterior of the Inn is also delightful, with areas to sit and relax, and grounds to wander about and enjoy. In addition to the spa, Bourbon Manor also has its very own bourbon bar and lounge.
No matter what your reason for visiting, Bourbon Manor will accommodate your needs. It can be a romantic getaway, a refreshing retreat, or a group trip to experience the Bourbon Trail. The Inn is able to assist you with any planning needed during your stay.
The location of Bourbon Manor so close to Bardstown is one of its greatest appeals, as this is a must-visit town in Kentucky. But there is plenty to do right on the B&B's own property as well, including the 1810 Federal home, shown below. Wherever you live in Kentucky, Bourbon Manor is worth a visit for history, relaxation, and everything else this vibrant area of our state offers.
Bourbon Manor may draw you in with its stately appearance, but you will fall in love with the charming rooms, fascinating history, southern hospitality, and its ideal location for experiencing the best of Kentucky.
