Bruntwood Inn B & B

Spend a few days in Historic Bardstown in the elegance of this 1830 ante-bellum mansion, or buy it and stay here forever. This gracious old Southern Home is exactly the type setting that moved Stephen Foster to write about his "Old Kentucky Home". Complete with stunning grand entry foyer with inspirational chandelier hanging from 12-1/2 foot ceilings, breathtaking oval spiral staircase ascending majestically 3 floors up to the glass-enclosed widow's walk. Beautiful antique furnishings, decorative fireplaces and massive windows in every room, poplar and ash floors and beautiful dentil molding accenting the first floor great hall and double parlors. Rooms are large, 20 x 20, with two beds in every room. Rates range from $65/single to $140/cozy cottage, plus taxes. A huge plantation breakfast, included in your stay, is served every morning at 9:00 in our dining room. Smoking is permitted only on the balcony, or front and back covered porches. This estate is also for sale and is comprised of the plantation home offering 8,700 sq.ft. on 3 floors, the brick cottage, plus the original two-story overseer's house and a huge barn. Situated in the heart of Bardstown just 5 minutes from all the attractions, and only 40 minutes from the arts, horses, international airport and other offerings in Louisville or Lexington. $395,000 unfurnished or $475,000 with the main house fully furnished, this is a bargain serious buyers must see.
