Here in Kentucky, our love for bourbon runs deep. The Bourbon Trail is a quintessential Kentucky experience, and it’s getting bigger and better all the time! The newest addition to your Bluegrass bourbon experience is an iconic one; for the first time ever, guests can spend the night in the Maker’s Mark Family’s historic Kentucky home! The Samuels House is now open for guests to enjoy, and this historic place — complete with its own bourbon bar! — is a must for any self-described bourbon sommeliers in the Bluegrass State.

For bourbon aficionados, The Samuels House is legendary.

Set amidst two acres fitted with mature oak trees and surrounded by bucolic Bluegrass beauty, this 200-year-old Federal-style manor is one of the most incredible pieces of architecture in the state -- and South.

Constructed in 1820 by John Samuels, the son of Robert Samuels -- who made whisky for George Washington's troops in the Revolutionary War! -- this property remained in family hands until the 1950s.

The house is now owned by Rob Samuels, an eighth-generation whisky maker and Managing Director of Maker's Mark Distillery.

And for the first time ever, guests are invited to visit this historic home and spend the night.

This well-appointed property is the perfect mix of old and new; the immaculate space has lux amenities and features, along with dozens of artifacts from the Samuels family.

Guests can relax in the lap of luxury at The Samuels House. Can you imagine soaking in this tub with a glass of bourbon?!

The home’s centerpiece features a hand-made bar showcasing 50 bottles of whisky spanning 150 years of Samuels family distilling, harkening all the way back to the days of the old T.W. Samuels brand. This is #bourbonbargoals, are we right?!

And true Bluegrass fashion, The Samuels House is located on a pastoral piece of property next to a horse farm! Stop and say "hay" while you're exploring the grounds.

The Samuels House is an only-in-Kentucky experience that belongs on your bucket list, whether you enjoy bourbon or not...

..but we have a feeling that after you visit this historic Kentucky home, you'll have a newfound appreciation for Kentucky's unofficial drink!

Definitely put The Samuels House on your Bluegrass State bucket list — the opportunity to stay in the Maker’s Mark Family’s historic Kentucky home is one you won’t want to pass up!
