The space
"5-Star luxury and charm abound in this historic home within walking distance to town center. Spacious and stunning with so many unique features inside and out - especially the music room, which was out of this world! The Bard House is THE house to experience bourbon country! H. H.

Built in the 1780's by a member of the Bard family (see name of town), the home was remodeled and updated over the last 2.5 years. The result has been nothing short of stunning to those who have toured or stayed.

THE OUTSIDE:
A very cozy covered porch greets you with seating for 8 and a couple of tables.
It overlooks the inner yard and firepit - which has 6 Adirondack chairs surrounding it and is shaded by a couple of massive magnolia trees. There is a very nice propane grill to fire up and enjoy. The house sits on 1/2 acre with a nice back yard. Wood and some fire starting items are supplied. There is a corn-hole set to enjoy. The garage is owner/housekeeping use only.

LIVING SPACES:

"They have spared no expense when it comes to amenities and personal touches" H. Y.

Upon entering this newly renovated home, you will realize every area has been professionally decorated.

THE RICKHOUSE LOUNGE - where you enter the home.

Relax in the 4 gorgeous aviator chairs while sipping on your pour of choice. There is a 65” Roku TV and professional dart board (made from Bourbon Barrel slats) to entertain you…as you sit among large scale photos of the inside of bourbon rickhouses.
There is a beautiful ventless gas log brick fireplace (seasonal) to warm you with just the click of a remote control.

The KITCHEN
Beautiful, spacious and well-appointed for easy meal preparation.
Large fridge/freezer, gas stove/oven, large microwave, dishwasher, coffee station (Drip+Keurig+French press), Bullet blender, blender, slow cooker, hand mixer, instant kettle, chef quality pots and pans, spice rack.

THE DINING HALL
Two eight-foot live-edge red oak slab tables greet you and hint “Gather here everyone.” One for all guests to dine at and another to spread out the games. BE SURE and take a group photo under the house brand logo and post it to social media as desired. There is a 40” TV in the hall allowing you to keep up with a sporting event of interest while enjoying meals/games.

THE MUSIC LOUNGE

Good times with good people and good bourbon are only further enhanced by good music. Spacious sectionals to relax on, a 75” Roku TV, a shuffleboard table, a ventless gas fireplace (seasonal) and mini-fridge that looks like a guitar amp….all the above set the stage for 4 guitars (you are welcome to play if you know what you are doing) and a collection of classic rock vinyl that you can spin as you share memories and create new ones. These massively deep sectionals also serve as comfy sleeping beds.
