Beautiful B&B located in a wonderful neighborhood/town of Norton Commons. 15 minutes from Louisville 45 min from many distilleries and in the center of walkable shops and restaurants. Spacious beautiful rooms with attached large bathrooms and a private balcony. The owners are the friendliest, fun people who make amazing food and drinks. Their homemade desserts are amazing. Lovely place. We will be back. Thank you!

We stayed at the CB for two nights over our wedding weekend. The accommodations were clean and beautiful and all rooms were well decorated. The breakfasts are multi course and phenomenal. Norton Commons is a fantastic area with many shops, restaurants coffee shops and bars within walking distance. Most importantly the hosts were kind, personable and present for anything we might need. We would definitely recommend this B&B!

The Chateau Bourbon is a wonderful place to stay and it is in fabulous location. There are plenty of places to eat and have a cocktail. Missy and John, our wonderful hosts go above and beyond from having a nightly Happy hour to the exquisite breakfasts in the morning, Missy is a top notch chef and John is a great mixologist. His drinks are wonderful, They both always have a smile on their face and as we arrived, John met us at the door and helped us with our luggage. I just can't express enough how pleased we were and we will definitely return.

After our first stay at Chateau Bourbon B&B we had to come back, and like before, this one was nothing short of exceptional. From the warm, personalized hospitality to the beautifully appointed rooms, every detail felt thoughtfully curated. The bourbon-infused breakfasts and evening cocktails were unforgettable, and the peaceful, walkable setting made it the perfect Kentucky getaway. A true gem in bourbon country—we can’t wait to return next year!!!
