“This retro-themed motor lodge strikes a chord with its nostalgic vibe and inviting courtyard, fire pits flickering as dusk settles. The rooms, while modern, echo the charm, a blend of comfort and kitsch near Bardstown's attractions. It's a place where local flavor meets a relaxed, communal spirit.”
