Super Amazing! I don't think I can pen a worthy enough review for this Experience. You get the beauty of an immaculate, magazine-worthy home; the comfort of homemade, award-worthy breakfasts, treats and cocktails, all while being hosted by friend/family-worthy inn keeper extraordinaires. Missy and John are truly knowledgeable and experienced with the bourbon culture, keeping current and sharing what they know. This certainly contributed to the bourbon bounty we brought home. Fantastic community. Loved our stay and plan to return!
