Nothing short of spectacular

This was far and away the best short term rental experience I’ve had-and I’ve stayed at over 100 properties. From the kindness and thoughtfulness of the hosts, to the amenities of the property, to the property itself, and its location, there is seriously nothing more that could have been done to make us feel more welcome. I unhesitatingly and enthusiastically recommend this property.

Another great stay at HayJac House

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 nicest VRBO place yet

This is a beautiful place to stay. I would give it an 11 on a 10 point scale. The place was so nice. Clean. Well-stocked. Quiet. Well located within walking distance of restaurants and bars with live entertainment. We would definitely stay here again. P.S. If I were to build a small home, I would copy this floor plan. Loved the 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!
