🥃 THE DOORS ARE OPEN AGAIN! 🐎
After an incredible month-long vacation and long-overdue honeymoon filled with unforgettable places, wonderful people, and memories that will last a lifetime, Brian and I are home, refreshed, recharged, and ready to welcome guests back to the Bourbon Barrel Inn!

And somehow, our travels ended in the most fitting way possible.
This past weekend, we had the pleasure of entertaining former guests who, somewhere along the way, became longtime friends. ❤️
There was plenty of laughter, stories shared, memories revisited, wonderful food around the table, and—of course—a little fine bourbon poured along the way. 🥃
It was the perfect ending to the vacation of a lifetime…and a beautiful reminder of exactly why we love what we do.

Because at the Bourbon Barrel Inn Bed & Breakfast, hospitality has never been simply about providing a room for the night.
It’s about welcoming you through our front door.
Sharing a cocktail at Post Time.
Gathering around the breakfast table.
Creating memories.
And turning guests into friends—and often, into family.

So now, after a month away, the lights are back on, the kitchen is ready, the bourbon is waiting, and your Innkeepers are excited to get back to doing what we love most. ❤️

To our returning guests, those already booked and counting down the days, and those who have yet to experience the Bourbon Barrel Inn—we cannot wait to welcome you.
Come experience something a hotel simply cannot offer…
Personal hospitality. Genuine connection. And a place where you’re treated like family.

You Arrive as a Guest… But You Leave as Family.™

Today is more than just a day off. It’s a day to recognize the people who work hard every single day to provide for their families, build their dreams, serve their communities, and make life a little better for the people around them.

To the early risers, the late-night workers, the parents juggling it all, the small business owners pouring their hearts into what they do, and everyone working behind the scenes — you are seen, you are appreciated, and your hard work matters. ❤️
