Our stay at the Bourbon Bungalow was a fantastic experience for our group of three families! The property is in a peaceful, rural spot across from Guist Creek Lake, offering a relaxing atmosphere and perfect access to the Bourbon Trail.The house is incredibly spacious and thoughtfully designed. Each of the four bedrooms is themed after a local distillery, adding a unique, fun touch. The Woodford and Buffalo Trace rooms, both with king beds and en-suite baths, were hits for the adults. The Makerâs Mark room, with a king bed and daybed, was great for a family with a child, while the cozy Bulleit room offered a comfy queen bed.We loved the gathering areas for our group. The fully-equipped kitchen made meal prep easy, and the large dining table was ideal for sitting down together. The living room, with its warm vibe and record player, became a favorite hangout spot.Outside, the amenities were just as impressive. The seven-person hot tub was perfect for unwinding after visiting distilleries, and though it wasnât pool season, the pool is great for summer stays. We also loved the front porch and back patio for enjoying sunsets.The location couldnât have been more convenient. Distilleries like Bulleit and Jeptha Creed were minutes away, with others like Buffalo Trace and Woodford Reserve an easy drive. With its thoughtful details, great amenities, and prime location, the Bourbon Bungalow is perfect for families or groups. We had an amazing time and canât wait to return!
My family visited the location for stops on the Bourbon Trail in Lexington and Louisville. From the Pool table to the hot tub to the grill, it was a stay that was made better by staying here. 10/10 time and would recommend to everyone to stay here.
A small group of us took a guy's trip to visit the KY Bourbon Trail and selected this location to stay. It was a great choice! It's conveniently located, easy to access, yet provides a disconnected feel from the busy world around which really provides great relaxation. Plus, the decor was spot on with a unique vide that tied into the main reason we visited - bourbon! Our group absolutely enjoyed our stay and I highly recommend it.
