Very nice! Great location. We enjoyed the restaurants and distilleries!

Nice home to relax for a few days. Everything was clean and tidy. I enjoyed having coffee available and even tried the Bourbon one. The house is close to the restaurants to walk to in the evenings. I really recommend this house.

House was perfect for a couple. Very clean and "homey". We loved the fact we could walk to restaurants and shops in town.

Had a wonderful Derby weekend stay in Bardstown. Quiet and romantic, classic hotel stay. Jacuzzi tub is a nice touch. Perfect location and patio is lovely day and night. Just bring your sleep mask if planning on sleeping in, very bright bedroom in the am.

We came for our anniversary. The place was quaint and perfect.

The John Fitch Cottage fits in well with the historic homes surrounding it in Bardstown, Kentucky. Located on a quiet neighborhood street only a block or two from the historic district restaurants and shops. It was perfect for a relaxing time for two people. When we walked in, the house was lit up with a myriad of antique lamps throughout the house giving a warm and inviting welcome to tired travelers. Margaret Sue was great with communication. Except for a few cobwebs on those old lampshades, the house was spotlessly clean. The floors are original and beautifully restored. Yes, they creak a bit and are uneven--it's an old house and that is part of its charm. If you have some mobility issues, as I do, you may want to keep in mind that there is a small step down to the bricked entrance and then two steps up to the door and there is no railing. The step down is not clear in the pictures. I was able to use my walker for support getting in and out. The bed is beautiful and comfortable but extremely high. You may want a stool. The jacuzzi tub looked delightful for a good soak but was too slippery for us seniors. A rubber mat for the bottom and a small grab bar on each side would be helpful. Having a handheld showerhead in the bathroom shower would be helpful as I was unable to reach the shower head to adjust it to my small stature and there's not much room to move away from it. The water pressure was great, though. I brought my own portable shower chair. It would be great if one were provided for future guests. There is a washer and dryer provided. It is amazing what Margaret Sue has been able to provide in this little home. My husband and I had been traveling for a month by the time we got to Bardstown, and we needed a good, four-night rest before heading home. This lovely cottage provided the comfortable rest we needed. There is now a FULL kitchen (no dishwaher) and it is well-supplied. I could have used a Dutch-oven size pot to make some homemade soup, but we just altered out menu. I'm sure that Margaret Sue would have provided one if we had contacted her. The beverage center with coffee and tea was lovely. A basket of snacks and instant oatmeal came in handy for breakfast the next morning as we did not have time to get groceries the night we arrived. A few bottles of water in the refrigerator were appreciated. It was just what we needed to get through the first night. We highly recommend the John Fitch Cottage!

We enjoyed Bardstown and this cute cottage. It was all we needed for a weekend getaway. Thank you for sharing this gem with us. David and Laura

Nice cottage near many attractions in Bardstown.

My wife and stayed here for our second anniversary. The cottage was very clean and cozy. Perfect for a couples getaway. It had all the amenities and everything you need. The large jacuzzi tub was a wonderful bonus. Would highly recommend the cottage and would definitely stay here again.

Very nice clean and great location

Margaret, was very helpful from recommendations on tours, florist, restaurants, and so much more. Even helped arrange flowers to be waiting for GF upon our arrival. If all host were as great as she was, I’d be staying somewhere every weekend! Thanks Margaret, hopefully we can come back and visit soon!

Great location, was very easy driving to and from all the places we wanted to visit during our vacation to Bardstown, Ky. We did not want to stay in a motel because of the noise level and this little cozy cottage fit our needs perfectly! A stove, microwave, toaster, coffee pot, washer & dryer were provided so all anyone needs to bring is personal items. I will absolutely use this host again!

Very nice and clean cottage in quiet neighborhood within walking distance of historic downtown.

A clean, cute, little home. We were able to walk to downtown within 5 min. The snacks and bourbon coffee was a pleasant suprise. And there is definitely a stove in the home.

Nice place to stay for our weekend getaway. This place is very clean. Has everything you need. Coffees, teas, sweeteners, creamer, snack basket with a variety of things and water. Within walking distance to town. My husband and I would choose the John Fitch Cottage over staying in a hotel. Will definitely be staying here again! Easy check in and out.

Great little place for two people while visiting all the distilleries around the area and just a short walk to all the town has to offer.

Very convenient, great area to visit distilleries!

Beautiful! Our host, Margaret Sue Masters was amazing. We had a few questions when we arrives and reached out to her and she responded immediately. Later during our stay she reached to make sure we had everything we needed. The cottage was perfect and included a washer and dryer for guest use. We'd love to stay there again.

Overall we enjoyed the cottage. The location to town is super as it is a 5 min walk at most. The extra touches to help your stay were perfect. The jacuzzi tub was nice to relax after long days of traveling about. We prefer a softer bed and fuller pillows but other than that, great place. Owner very responsive. Great places to eat: Mammys, Scout & Scholar and The Kitchen Table at Jim Beam.

Very clean and cozy house. It is in easy walking distance to the Historic Downtown section of Bardstown. It was our first vacation since my wife and I both retired and we were looking for a little getaway and it met all of our expectations. We would probably stay there the next time we are in Bardstown.

Cottage was well appointed and looked like it was done by a designer. Host had lots of nice touches and unexpected extras. 5 stars for sure.

The courage was so cute and clean. Conveniently located, we were able to walk a few blocks to great restaurants. This was super helpful since there was a surprise snowstorm. We were warm and comfortable

Perfect for the two of us. Great location at a great price. Property manager was attentive. Property was clean and the neighborhood was nice and quiet. We enjoyed the patio out back even though it was only 30 degrees.

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at The John Fitch Cottage. It was so clean and cozy. We loved the garden tub and the coffee!

Quaint property. Close to downtown Bardstown. Clean. The only negative we have is that the “jacuzzi tub” listed is not operational. It’s just a soaking tub. I purposely chose this place for the jacuzzi tub. I was quite disappointed that it was only a large soaking tub. Everything else was accurate as listed. There is no stove or oven, but there is a hot plate under the cabinet which we did not try out. Overall, great value.

Perfect place to stay in Bardstown for and extended weekend get away. Please was nice and well kept. Perfect location to come and go from as you tour the area and visit all of the local sights!

The home was very clean, well furnished and in close proximity to all that Bardstown has to offer. We couldn't have been happier with our stay. An added bonus the linens on the bed and in the bathroom were especially lovely!

We enjoyed our stay at the John Fitch cottage. We were in town for only 2 nights so it fit our needs to just fine. The property manager was very responsive to our questions. My only bit of feedback would be to consider maybe a hand held option added to the shower head for those of us that are average height. :-) Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed our stay!!!
