Sure Stay General Nelson is a great place to stay if you seek an outdoor pool. Even have motorcycle specific parking spaces.

Bardstown is a must stay for anyone who rides the Bourbon trail. Beautiful little town.

Maker's Mark was flat out gorgeous.



Talbot Inn is a must see on Bardstown.

Buffalo Trace tour was awesome. Complimentary but need reservations well in advance. Only toured two distilleries, Buffalo Trace and Maker's Mark. Both are worthy of a visit. Liked Buffalo Trace quite a bit more but Maker's Mark was a flat out gorgeous property.

Looked like a fun trip.
I did Buffalo Trace on a whim in June, and like you I couldn’t do the tour unless I booked months in advance. After visiting the gift shop my wallet was much lighter but my saddlebags were stuffed full.

Buffalo Trace is my must visit. I'll be doing a 6-7 hours from Illinois. My very first trip longer than 2 hours.
