We happened upon this B&B passing through Louisville and had the best time. The mansion is amazing, especially decorated for Christmas. Dinner recommendations were great, southern breakfast was wonderful and Jeff and Allen are so fun to talk to. A little bourbon tasting at breakfast was welcome as well 😊

Fabulous stay at the Louisville Bourbon Inn! Such a beautiful Inn, and the Christmas decorations were magical! Took the Bourbon Trail tour that was all set up through Jeff and Allen. It was fantastic. We were picked up right at the door and had a wonderful day! Breakfast each day was delicious, and the rooms were beautiful, clean, spacious and super charming! Jeff and Allen went above and beyond to accommodate a schedule change with our family. They were so helpful! We had a GREAT time there!

There are simply not enough wonderful ways to describe our experience at the Louisville Bourbon Inn. Our group of 13 walked in the door where we were welcomed by the most amazing hosts, Jeff & Allen, into their beautifully decorated, warm & cozy Inn. From the delicious breakfast's made by Allen to the sparkly clean/spacious rooms, to the history & recommendations of the city, the location being close to all of the adventures, the beautiful park across the street, Jeff & Allen's attention to every single little detail & knocking it out of the park, their loving company & to making them our new forever friends, I give this a 10/10!! Easily one of my top favorite stays & I cant wait to visit again!

An absolutely incredible experience staying here!!! Allen and Jeff are amazing hosts and even better people!! Felt totally welcome from the minute we arrived, and they made sure our entire group felt that way the whole stay!! They go above and beyond every chance they get and they knock it out of the park! Was my first trip ever to Louisville, and it will not be my last, and most definitely not my last stay at The Louisville Bourbon Inn! 10 out of 10!!!!!

Quaint charm meets Southern hospitality at this delightful bed and breakfast in Louisville, Kentucky. The cozy rooms exude warmth, and the attention to detail creates a truly inviting atmosphere. The icing on the cake was all the beautiful Christmas decorations throughout the Inn. For some it might have been a tad early but not for this Christmas loving crew. The hosts are so friendly they became forever friends and also super accommodating, making you feel right at home. They were also super helpful guiding us where to go and what to do with our day. With a delicious breakfast to start your day, it’s a perfect retreat that captures the essence of Louisville’s hospitality. Highly recommend for a memorable stay.

I can't express just how much I enjoyed our stay at Louisville Bourbon Inn. It is not only a beautiful and elegant home but also the hopitality was awesome. Jeff and Alan make a wonderful team that treated us like famiy. Their attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond to make our stay comfortable was greatly appreciated. I want to give a heartful thanks to Jeff and Alan for sharing their genuine kindness and beautiful home. I feel like I am leaving with two new friends.

Friends had recommended Louisville Bourbon Inn and it didn't disappoint at all. We loved it and The hospitality was great. Allen's breakfasts are wonderful which we will miss. Jeff is a great host and made fun recommendations of places to eat and drink. The best B & B we've stayed at over many years. There is no other place we will stay in Louisville.
