Essential Louisville
Comfort with a Splash of Bourbon at the Chateau Bourbon Luxury B&B in Louisville
T
he fi rst thing I saw walking into my suite at Chateau Bour- bon Luxury B&B is a pillow inscribed with the quote, “I dream of shiplap walls, chippy paint, subway tile, farm- house sinks and barn doors.” I grew up in Avon when it was more farms than box stores, and back then I couldn’t wait to get to the big city. But little by little, I’m realizing that I do dream of shiplap walls and farmhouse sinks! Don’t get me wrong – I still love the energy of cities – but after a few days, I’ve had my fi ll.
Chateau Bourbon Luxury B&B has the best of both worlds. It’s
the perfect choice for travelers seeking upscale accommodations in a down-home atmosphere. Located in the heart of Norton Commons, Louisville’s most unique and vibrant walkable community, you can ‘park & walk’ during your stay with everything you need just beyond their doorstep. It’s an actual thing called New Urbanism. And just 10 miles from downtown Louisville, you’re only minutes from everything the big city has to offer.
Owners Missy and John Hillock designed and constructed the bed and breakfast with every comfort and convenience in mind. After years of traveling, the couple knew exactly what they wanted to create. Taking standards from traditional 5-star hotels, unique accom- modations and adding their personal touches, Missy and John have created an unforgettable guest experience. It doesn’t hurt that Missy loves to cook and decorate and John is a fantastic handyman – so their skillsets were a perfect fi t to own a bed and breakfast. Missy and John both exude genuine hospitality, impeccable attention to detail and down-home southern charm. They’re people you immediately want to be friends with. They show you what southern hospitality is all about with their amazing breakfasts to the evening bourbon cock- tail hour – more on that later.
Chateau Bourbon is a 100% chemical-free and allergen-free
property. They use all-natural, eco-friendly cleaning mixtures primarily consisting of water and ingredients such as vinegar and baking soda. I was interested to learn that they use Norwex clean- ing products throughout the inn. The global mission of Norwex is to, “improve quality of life by radically reducing the number of chemicals in the home.”
We stayed in the Angel’s Share suite – a magnifi cent 2nd fl oor suite featuring a king-sized bed, spacious sitting area, soaking tub, oversized tiled rain shower (seriously, you could have a party in there), deluxe linens, towels, and spa robes. In addition, there’s a cozy, private balcony overlooking the town center of Norton Com- mons. Each suite is individually zoned for air/heat so you can set the temperature to your comfort level. They’ve even added a guest pantry with complimentary snacks, and a fridge, microwave, ice maker, and glassware. Six porches/patios allow guests to access the outdoors from nearly any room at the inn, including each of the guest suites.
