There’s something about Bardstown‘s historic small-town red-brick Southern charm that inspires and enhance a sense of romance, and our Bardstown KY lodging is the perfect embodiment of that soothing, timeless appeal — a small wonder for a bed and breakfast inn called the Bourbon Manor in a town known as the Bourbon Capital of the World.
Our Bardstown KY lodging, located just outside of downtown Bardstown, offers a bucolic, wooded, park-like setting centered on two pre-Civil War plantation homes that have been painstakingly remodeled into a Bourbon-themed Inn. We offer 10 luxurious and spacious guest rooms, each appointed with antiques as well as modern amenities. In the common areas, lush gothic reds offset marvelous gleaming antiques for a thrilling trip to an antebellum-style past. It’s easy to feel swept up in something sensuous and glorious and even a little dramatic, such is the stunning impact of a first look inside.
And that’s just the start of your romantic escape to Bourbon Manor as Valentine’s Day approaches. So make your plans for an intimate getaway to the heart of Bourbon Country. Start by booking your stay today at our Bardstown KY lodging!

One that tells the story of how the town has changed while honoring its history is Chuckleberry Farm & Winery, where a local couple converted a tobacco farm into acreage for grape-growing and winemaking. There’s also Forest Edge Winery, McIntyre’s Winery & Berries, Springhill Winery, and Horseshoe Bend Winery.

There’s The Bar at Willett, newly opened at the Willett Bourbon Distillery., perfect for classic cocktails and savory small plates. The Bottle & Bond Kitchen and Bar offers excellent contemporary Southern food, and the Rickhouse Restaurant & Lounge offers a cozy, candlelit atmosphere with great food, and the Kurtz Restaurant offers the same in a historic house.
