Louisville Bourbon Inn

True southern hospitality in this beautiful mansion where you are made to feel like family. The rooms are beautifully designed, exceptionally clean and amazingly quiet and comfortable. Allen’s breakfasts are superb and his award winning biscuits and gravy are second to none!

I have the great fortune to have my wife plan a weekend trip to the Bourbon Trail and she happened to book our stay with Allen at the Louisville Bourbon Inn. The accommodations were simply amazing, the food was next level (ask for an omelette or biscuits and gravy). BUT the kicker to the trip was the "Old Fashioned" that we sipped around the lovely courtyard fire pit at the end of the day. 10 STARS! I survived the Bourbon Tour only to have Allen's Old Fashion knock me down like Muhammad Ali did to Joe Fraizer. We will be back, and we are going to be bringing a bunch of our friends. You cannot go wrong with the Louisville Bourbon Inn. Just trust me, it's one of our favorite places now.

Let me start off by saying that this place is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! We stayed there for a week and the mansion is unquestionably stunning, both inside and out, and the special little touches everywhere from the flower and plant arrangements that look & smell wonderful to the impeccable cleanliness to the way the pillows are fluffed in the common areas do not go unnoticed. The bed is heavenly and the bedding was quite luxurious. Everything at this place is top notch. The hospitality is also better than any place we’ve ever been. We’re sometimes a little shy or introverted when staying in BnB’s and tend to avoid interactions. Beats me why we are like that, but it’s just how we are. This place is perfect because the owner (who is also a phenomenal chef and mixologist) has good intuition and reads the client well but you’ll be comfortable and feel like family quickly & intuitively. I just cannot say enough nice things about this place. The breakfasts are, without question, better than any you will find in all of Louisville and also with a MUCH finer atmosphere. The mansion is just incredible in itself but then the owner will make you extraordinary cocktail if you request them. The neighborhood is safe and quite spectacular with Victorian mansions all over the place. Central Park is right across the street and one can just walk and walk while looking at stunning historical buildings. It’s very unique but, quite frankly, the Louisville Bourbon Inn mansion is probably the nicest of ALL the amazing buildings in the area and that says a lot! Anyway, I could go on and on and on but don’t hesitate-if you’re thinking about booking, just do it! ***side note…our last day there, the owner volunteered by entering into “The Gravy Cup”. It’s the World’s largest biscuit & gravy competition. Who would have guessed that this event took place in Kentucky, but it does. ANYWAY, the Louisville Bourbon Inn won first place while competing with restaurants from all over the World, including chefs who have famous “breakfast specific” restaurants. So that kinda suggests what the breakfasts are like at the Louisville Bourbon Inn. And don’t forget that the atmosphere is better than any you’ll find just about any restaurant too, so it’s a double whammy! Allen is the “Gravy King” of North America! Thanks so much for the wonderful stay and we will see you NEXT time!!!
