Family-friendly vacation rentals in Bardstown

My family and I had a wonderful time. The house was clean, well-cared for, and very spacious for the 7 of us. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook our meals. We made use of the kayaks, raft, and paddle board that were available. The owner was very responsive and easy to get in touch with.

We enjoyed our stay close to Churchill Downs for Derby Week activities.

This house is in a very nice neighborhood with plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby. There's plenty of room for a big family/group. I had another Airbnb host cancel my reservation only 2hr before check in. I was already on the highway with my family and Barksdale management moved this property up on their cleaning list as it had just been vacated around noon in order to accommodate us. I can't say enough for how much we appreciated that. Thank you so much for saving our weekend!!!

This house we great for large groups. We originally had 11 people coming but ended up with only 8. The house was older with a ton of character. It looks like it is a very up and coming neighborhood that has had a lot of work done to it. We came in for a work trip at the expo center and this house was only a 5 minute drive to it each day. Hot tub was awesome and back yard was nice. Will look at renting this house again for next years convention.

I brought a group of 8 friends to go cycling in the area and tour distilleries in the afternoon. We had a great time, and Sara's place was perfect for the 9 of us. Yes, it's way off the beaten path but I knew that when I booked it. It's very private and has LOTS of room. The host tub was great, too.

Cliff was very helpful and responsive, we were in town on a job so there was plenty of space for people who don’t normally travel together. It was a very cold week so the hot tub was just what we needed! Would absolutely recommend.

One of the best Airbnb’s I’ve stayed in! Lots of extra little amenities, the decor was unique and well thought out, and the location was perfect. We travel to the area often and would definitely book again.

Outstanding place for large gatherings. We used it for out of town guests in a wedding party.

I had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was friendly, responsive, and made check-in a breeze. The location was perfect—close to everything but still quiet and peaceful at night. I especially appreciated the little touches and clear instructions. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

The place was lovely and wonderfully centrally located. They were incredibly responsive and gave amazing check in instructions. The home while beautiful did have an interesting layout with the bedrooms. We would absolutely stay here again.

We stayed here for an Easter getaway with some friends and our dog. Everything was really clean, the kitchen was really well stocked, it was really quiet, and the space was perfect for all of us. The screened in porch was amazing…I wanted it to come home with me! Overall, great stay. Definitely recommend and would stay again!!

This was our second stay at Guest House on Story, and was definitely as good, if not better than the first. Kim is an excellent and responsive host who strives to make sure your stay is exactly what you need. We had a large group of adults visiting Louisville to celebrate a birthday weekend, and we had plenty of space to spread out and relax. The area has fun walkable bars, breweries, and cocktail lounges, along with restaurants! Highly recommend Tartan House and Biscuit Belly. Guests should be aware as others have mentioned that given the location in Butchertown, there is occasionally a notable smell outside. It very much depends on the direction of the wind and day/time of the week. Do know though that you cannot smell this inside the house! We caught a whiff outside here and there, but definitely not the entire time. Highly recommend Guest House on Story, and I'm sure we will stay again when in Louisville with a large group.

This was my first time visiting Kentucky and this Airbnb was amazing. Chose to the city but far enough for orange and quiet.

The Nest was perfect for our family of five’s weekend getaway. We love the area and felt safe and comfortable in the neighborhood. Scott was a great host and very responsive to our questions. We will definitely stay here again.

We just loved this peaceful Kentucky farm and the animals and the view from the back porch is to die for! We did the bourbon trail and stayed Monday through Friday, but wish more time was spent just staying here and letting time go slowly by. We especially enjoyed the fresh eggs, bacon and biscuits every morning. We cooked out on thursday and Jackie has everything you need and more! a few good restaurants around but do yourself a favor and stay in and cook out instead! You won’t regret it!

We had a wonderful stay at this home. Our family gets together over the Easter weekend each year and our primary entertainment is bike riding and hiking. There is a large park that is super close to this home that has both a wonderful paved bike trail and multiple hiking trails so this worked out perfectly for us. It was also easy to reach downtown Louisville for additional biking and walking trails. Communication with Ross was great!

Beautiful neighborhood and wonderful pool area! The place was exactly as described and the host provided clear, easy to follow instructions to get in. My kids loved the pool especially! We’d definitely stay again if in Louisville!!

It was perfect for our family and was close to the family that we travelled to visit!

Ramona and Steve were fantastic hosts. They made us feel right at home. Their location is beautiful and peaceful and just good for the soul! If my family and I are ever in the area again we will definitely love to visit again!

We loved staying at Annika’s place during our visit to Kentucky for Keeneland. It reminded us of our historic sorority house, had everything we needed, and kept our men folk occupied in the pool room watching football while we sisters caught up all night! We had the best time! Thank you for having us!

A wonderful home hosted by wonderful people. I can’t thank Amy and Carol enough for being incredible hosts and opening their home to us. Would certainly recommend this to anyone considering staying in the area!

We’ve stayed here several times over the last few years and we plan on continuing to do so on our annual Kentucky trip.

The place was beautiful, peaceful, and had everything we needed. The hot tub was hot and ready for us and we could see the lake from the house. We enjoyed cooking in the beautiful kitchen, soaking in the hot tub, and making our way to the lake to fish. We ate at Cattlemans Roadhouse nearby which was great as well. Great weekend getaway.

Lovely home in a nice neighborhood. Communication with the owner was great. Would stay there again
