We encourage you to stay with us during your visit to historic Bardstown, Nelson County, Kentucky. Rosemark Haven (Bruntwood) was designed and built in the early nineteenth century, and now offers a unique lodging experience in an old plantation home that has been thoughtfully re-stored over the decades to reflect living in the mid-1800s. This makes staying or having a tea in Kentucky extra special. The interior of Rosemark Haven is appointed with period antiques, and is decorated similarly. Rosemark sits on the edge of what was colonial Bardstown - but is still within easy walking distance to the town's main street shopping district. If we are full, or you are looking for a different bed and breakfast in Kentucky, we suggest visiting The Innkeeper or I Love Inns for other ideas.
While in Bardstown, you may consider pampering someone, or yourself, at Bella Salon and Spa. Also the Oscar Getz Whiskey Museum (located in the pre-Civil War Spalding Hall), the Civil War Museum of the Western Theater and St. Joseph's Proto Cathedral are also walkable destinations - although you might consider a carriage ride, or driving to My Old Kentucky Home. From Rosemark Haven it is also an easy drive to Nelson County's various attractions, including the area's historic bourbon distilleries such as Maker's Mark, Heaven Hill, Four Roses and Jim Beam, and natural beauty spots such as Bernheim Forest. The Kentucky Dinner Train, a beautifully restored vintage train where dinner is served while riding into the forest is only a couple blocks away from our bed and breakfast.
