Chateau Bourbon

There are great B&Bs, and then there are exquisite B&Bs. Chateau Bourbon is most definitely an exquisite experience. From the moment you're greeted at the door until you say goodbye at the end of your stay, everything about Chateau Bourbon is wonderful. This was our 7th visit (we think) to Chateau Bourbon. Missy and John are the most gracious hosts you can imagine. Guests feel like family as soon as you arrive. The happy hour each day pairs a wonderfully prepared dessert with a well-crafted bourbon cocktail. Whether served on the patio or in the living room, it's a great time for conversation. The rooms at Chateau Bourbon are gorgeous (we've been in all four rooms) and are roomy, comfy, and we'll appointed. Breakfasts are always amazing. Three courses, starting with the house granola served with yogurt and the Chateau signature drunken cherries. Second course is a savory breakfast item, followed by the third course which is the sweet item, accompanied by the house bourbon butter maple syrup. We've never had a breakfast we didn't rave about. Spending a day walking through the Norton Commons neighborhood is like a throwback to an earlier time. The homes are gorgeous, and there is plenty of places for shopping and dining, all within walking distance. Chateau Bourbon has become a regular stop for us, and we'll keep coming back because it's like our home away from home.

For our first time staying at a Bed & Breakfast, Chateau Bourbon set the bar extremely high! The minute you walk up to the front door and inside you feel at home. The decor is beautifully done, the breakfasts are delicious, nightly happy hour drinks is are a wonderful way to start the evening, and the hospitality from the owners was even better. If you love Bourbon you will LOVE staying here! And within walking distance of cute boutiques and great restaurants! Wonderful weekend getaway...

Faboulus Bed and Breakfast in a great location outside Louisville and the Bourbon Trail. Five star in every way. Charming decor, super clean, quality linens, and fabulous 3 course breakfast and a happy hour Sip and Sweet. The innkeepers are so welcoming! Walkable to several nice restaurants in the area. Highly recommend!

If I could give 10 stars it still wouldn't be enough! This quiet, quaint, gorgeously designed & decorated B&B is absolutely wonderful! The hosts, Missy and John, are about the kindest people you'll meet in Kentucky, and they have thought of everything to make your stay here perfect. A warm greeting upon arrival, daily happy hour and three course breakfasts are just a tiny ingredient in this recipe for relaxation. The neighborhood is fabulous-so much within walking distance. Restaurants, bars, shops, parks and the amphitheater -you truly hate to leave here. This is a must if you're near Louisville.

Disclaimer: This review is based on attending events at Chateau Bourbon B&B -- not from staying at this beautiful place, though I definitely hope to one day.Good? Good. So I've been to a few events at Chateau Bourbon, and one thing has become abundantly clear from these experiences: Chateau Bourbon is consistently excellent.The beautiful common areas. The touches of bourbon. The food. Oh the food. Chateau Bourbon knows how to help put together a beautiful time.And I'm very aware that I've used "beautiful" three times so far -- well, now four, if you count this sentence -- but it seems very appropriate in this situation. All of the touches in this B&B make it one-of-a-kind and perfectly put together. This includes the hearth, which has its wall lined with what looks like bourbon staves. The front porch includes gas lanterns and a Southern-style porch swing that practically begs you to lie down on it with a book. The side porch has lots of seating options, including swings also made with bourbon staves and a fire pit in an old bourbon barrel. The attention to detail is to the extreme, and along with that comes the fact that everything is impeccably clean.It also smells amazing, but that may have a lot to do with the the owner Missy and her cooking.I've attended a Harry Potter-themed baby shower and a bourbon-themed bridal shower, and for both Missy made delicious on-theme treats.Most recently, at the bridal shower, I was swooning over the pimento cheese and the cake. I love that Missy is becoming known for the amazing chef that she is, including getting top billing at the upcoming Courier-Journal Food & Wine Experience. And while I have not stayed overnight at Chateau Bourbon, I have toured the rooms. The cleanliness and bourbon theme extends to those as well. The beds are piled high with blankets and pillows, seemingly the epitome of comfort.Some day ... some day I'll get to stay at Chateau Bourbon.But in the meantime, I can attend as many great events as possible at this beautiful B&B.

This is the finest establishment I've ever had the pleasure to stay at. The 3 course breakfast was beyond Belief. Our hosts Missy and John were a pleasure to talk to and very helpful. Missy is a great cook and baker. John can make a bourbon cocktail that tastes great and will knock your socks off. The room we stayed in was perfect. From the comfortable bed to the soaking tub and the private balcony. I can't say enough about this place. It's just great. P.S. you must try the Italian restaurant 2 doors down.

John and Missy have created an awesome B&B. We enjoyed our 2nd visit and brought friends this time and plan to return. The accommodations are top notch, the breakfast and happy hour are more than pleasing and Missy and John are gracious hosts. Great proximity to all things Louisville and simply an enjoyable and wonderful place to rest, relax and catch up with good people.Very much recommended and looking forward to another stay.

My wife and I stayed for a week at Chateau Bourbon. Our stay (start to finish) was amazing, in every aspect!! The inn was beautiful, the room was immaculate, and the hosts (Missy and John) made us feel at home from the moment we walked in. Missy's breakfasts were always fresh and inspired, as were their cocktails in the afternoon. I should mention that the neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, and has numerous restaurants for every taste. We won't hesitate to return to this wondferful B&B in the future!! There is SO much to do in the Louisville / KBT area, and this is definitely THE place to stay!! I should mention that my wife and I are picky people. This place left us with nothing to complain about or wish for. These folks and the amenities that they offer are THAT good!!

Truly the most unique, amazing place to stay! Everything about my stay here was top notch! The clean, beautifully decorated rooms, the deliciously stout happy hour beverages, the multi-course breakfast, and the fantastically charming hosts make it a bucket list item for sure!

For the amount of money we paid for the room, the service from the owner was basically none, other than the happy hour and the fixed three course breakfast, of which we had no idea what it would be each day. In addition, if you didn't like what she served, you were SOL. If they would publish the breakfast menu in advance, then you might have a chance to make alternate requests ahead of time.We have never stayed in a bed-and-breakfast where we had to give the owner a time when we would come for breakfast. When you're on vacation, the last thing that you want to do is schedule an appointment. Everything here seemed to be very regimented even though there were only 5 guests on the premises.We only had a little plastic bottle of body wash in the room for two people for two days and no bar of soap! Also when I went to fill up the tub, I couldn't even get enough to soak in before the water went cold. She never came in to tidy up the bedroom, empty the trash, or make sure that we had toiletries for the next day.We did have French doors going out onto the patio and that was very nice because we got to sit out there in the evening and it was nice to have the entrance from our bedroom. It was my husband's birthday and I ordered the Bourbon Package so I expected to see a bottle of bourbon, and the 2 glasses that were part of the package, to be waiting for us in the bedroom when we arrived. However they apparently forgot about it because we had to ask for it the next day.Overall, the property was nice but the service was very disappointing.
