    Bourbon Ball Inn was the perfect place to hit the reset button. It was absolutely beautiful! It was our first experience lodging at a bed and breakfast and it did not disappoint. Hannah was so sweet and took wonderful care of us. One morning, we woke up to the heavenly aroma of cinnamon cake being baked downstairs - it was divine! The breakfast items she prepared were fresh and delicious.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Bourbon Ball Inn , and I can honestly say that it was one of the best travel experiences I have ever had in a bed and breakfast. The room we stayed in was charming and cozy. There was not a detail missed in the room for general necessities when staying away from home. In the evening, we enjoyed playing cards while sipping bourbon of our choice. In the morning, we were welcomed with an absolutely amazing breakfast.

    The inn was clean and welcoming, with plenty of space in the room as well as multiple common areas to hang out if you aren't roaming around Bardstown (hard to not explore when main street is only a 2 or 3 minute walk from the inn and there are even more options than we had time for within a few miles). The Innkeeper/Owner, Hannah, was incredible! We had already planned out a few activities nearby but she helped fill in the gaps and all of her recommendations were great. Breakfast was well thought out and very tasty.
