 We encourage you to stay with us during your visit to historic Bardstown, Nelson County, Kentucky. Rosemark Haven (Bruntwood) was designed and built in the early nineteenth century, and now offers a unique lodging experience in an old plantation home that has been thoughtfully re-stored over the decades to reflect living in the mid-1800s. This makes staying or having a tea in Kentucky extra special. The interior of Rosemark Haven is appointed with period antiques, and is decorated similarly. Rosemark sits on the edge of what was colonial Bardstown - but is still within easy walking distance to the town's main street shopping district. If we are full, or you are looking for a different bed and breakfast in Kentucky, we suggest visiting The Innkeeper or I Love Inns for other ideas.
