About this property

Guesthouse

Relax off the beaten path but close to conveniences! We are located within 8 miles to Maker’s Mark and Limestone Branch Distilleries, and 17 miles to Bardstown. We do live in the main house on the farm, detached and private from this unit.
It makes us the perfect getaway for 2 adults! (This unit has a maximum capacity of 2 adults with no exceptions) We pride ourselves on making this affordable, beautiful property, the perfect choice for your bourbon adventure.
Of special note:
If you are looking to be close to town then this probably isn’t for you. We are about 3.5 miles to a grocery store and 10 miles to Lebanon which is the largest town in the area with a Walmart.

This area is remote and surrounded by woods, creeks, and ponds. We do our absolute best to keep pests away from the residence but, unfortunately, they get in from time to time. We also have chickens that roam around and 3 cats that love people and tend to be lacking in manners.

While the internet works great most all the time, this property is in the country, with very limited options for service, outages can happen and are completely beyond our control. If you MUST have internet for your stay, we suggest you take this into consideration. Refunds will not be given for internet outage.

We do allow one dog, under 50lbs, with a pet fee of $30.00 per stay. We ask that you crate the dog when away and not allow the dog on the furniture. This rental is not appropriate for children, and has an absolute maximum capacity of two adults with no exceptions.

If you are looking for a clean, peaceful, relaxing getaway with plenty privacy then this is for you.

Great

It is a great place. Love seeing the wildlife in the morning and evenings. It is quiet. It is far enough away you don’t get bothered by city life but close enough to not have to drive out of your way for anything. I would definitely stay again. Nicely done place, comfortable, has everything you need to stay for a weekend or a week. Great host.

The area was quiet and was easy to relax in. The guesthouse had everything we needed. The only suggestion we have would be to maybe have a folder with some suggestions of things to do in the area or local restaurants and maybe instructions on working the TV. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend it.

Great country stay

Very remote location, quiet and peaceful with lots of nature to enjoy. Clean and welcoming accomodations, comfy bed, fire pit, friendly cats 'stalking' the property (so cute), and zero disturbances. Very close to Maker's Mark tour location. Would stay again.

Beautifully quiet location

My hubby and I were returning to Ohio from Gatlinburg and figured this would be a nice location to take a break fro the long drive and visit a distillery at the same time. We thoroughly enjoyed our “home for the night”, it was clean and very comfy. We appreciated the owners working with our rather uncertain schedule/travel time frame.

Sweet place along the Bourbon Trail

We really enjoyed our stay. It’s a small house but perfect for a couple. Clean, quiet, and all the amenities of home. The cats really made us feel welcome! It’s in the middle of farm country, which we loved, while still an easy drive to Bardstown.

About the host

Hosted by Kelli and Jason Hardesty

Host profile image
We are a family of 4 that decided to leave the hustle and bustle of the city to return to our hometown 4 years ago. We purchased this farm and built our dream farmhouse on the property. We are both work in healthcare and appreciate the peace and tranquillity our small farm offers. We hope you love it like we do.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in my husband’s family for years and my husband grew up just down the road. He always loved the spot on the hill where we built our house.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy the peace and quiet of this property and being so close to our family and close life long friends
