The Guest House at Castle & Key
A Historic Barn Reimagined | Kentucky Bourbon Country

Situated on the historic grounds of Castle & Key Distillery in the heart of Central Kentucky, where bourbon traditions and horse country meet, The Guest House offers a truly one-of-a-kind Kentucky experience. Once a working barn, this beautifully transformed retreat blends rustic character, historic charm, and modern luxury into an unforgettable getaway.

Thoughtfully renovated with an appreciation for its agricultural roots, the home features original barn-inspired architecture, polished concrete floors, warm textures, and carefully curated furnishings that reflect the signature elegance and timeless style of Castle & Key.

Whether you're visiting for a bourbon trail adventure, a romantic escape, a weekend with friends, or simply a peaceful retreat in the Bluegrass, The Guest House invites you to slow down, unwind, and experience Kentucky hospitality at its finest.

First Floor
Upon entering, guests are welcomed into a beautifully reimagined space where the character of a historic barn meets the comforts of modern living. Polished concrete floors lend an industrial yet sophisticated touch, while thoughtful design details create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The living area offers a comfortable setting to gather after a day exploring Kentucky's renowned distilleries, picturesque horse farms, and charming small towns. Relax, enjoy a favorite cocktail, or simply settle in for a quiet evening.

The home features a thoughtfully appointed kitchen and dining space, ideal for enjoying morning coffee, preparing a leisurely breakfast, or sharing a meal with friends.

Second Floor | Loft-Style Bedroom
Upstairs, guests will discover a charming loft-style bedroom featuring a queen bed and inviting accommodations.

Designed to preserve the home's unique architectural character, this bedroom features an open loft concept rather than a fully enclosed traditional bedroom, creating an airy and distinctive retreat.
