Clean, close to downtown, great breakfast, beautiful rooms, nice snacks/drinks - I was so glad we picked this B&B for our first trip to Bardstown. The owners are friendly and know a lot about the town. It's directly across from My Old Kentucky Home and the Stephen Foster Story - So be sure to make time for those!

Wonderful place to stay in Bardstown. Hosts Dan and Lynell could not be more pleasant and accomodating, and Lynell fixes a really excellent breakfast. She makes grits like she means it. Right across the highway from the Stephen Foster home, although in the spring and summer all you'll see is the leaves on the trees from the comfortable, inviting upstairs... More

We had decided to cancel our reservation in Louisville and try a B&B in the little town of Bardstown. We were not disappointed. The town is delightful and the Beautiful Dreamer is one of the best B&B experiences that we have had. Our room was very well appointed with a comfortable bed and wing back chairs. The hot water was... More

This 4-room guest house has all the charm and amenities you desire in a B&B, including gracious hosts, on-site parking, and close proximity to all the attractions. The owners take great pride in their home as evidenced in the spotless and beautiful rooms. Our room, the Federal Room, was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Outside our room on the second level...

Husband and I just returned from a stay at the Beautiful Dreamer. This B&B is located away from downtown Bardstown in a lovely residential area. There's a huge second-level front porch that runs the length of the front (you can see it in the pictures) and overlooks My Old Kentucky Home. Would be stunning in the spring/summer. It is impossible... More

This is an old fashioned b and b run by the wonderful Lynelle. Spotless room with huge huge bathroom and fabulous jacuzzi tub. If you are put off by victoriana at b and bs you may not go for the Beautiful Dreamer, but if you aren't you will love your stay and love Lynelle. She serves a great breakfast and... More

Warm hospitality and fabulous breakfast! State-of-the-art amenities in the finest of the old Kentucky tradition. The hosts were very gracious and very helpful when booking reservations. We most certainly will be back with a group of friends!

We recently stayed here for three days while in Bardstown and the Beautiful Dreamer is definitely one of the better B & B's we have found. Our room (the Beautiful Dreamer) was very spacious with a comfortable seating area and large bathroom. We enjoyed the complimentary snacks and drinks while sitting on the large balcony on the second floor enjoying... More

This house is very beautiful with wonderful decor. The place was clean from top to bottom. I always say that the smallest details are the ones that really stand out. The complimentary snacks and drinks were a great touch. There is a great terrace on the second floor that you can sit on and enjoy the view of "My Old... More
