As you wind your way along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, take your lodging at Myrtledene Bed & Breakfast in Lebanon, Marion County, Kentucky. We are an Official Site on the Bourbon Trail and a chapter in our local Civil War and John Hunt Morgan history.
Let us be your restful inn while you tour this area known for Civil War history, antiques, natural scenery, and outdoor activities.
We are the heart of the Kentucky Holy Land, the settlement of dozens of Catholic pioneers who traveled from the British Isles, through Maryland, to make a home among the knoblands of Central Kentucky. This area has been the birthplace and home of such notable religious figures as Martin John Spalding and Thomas Merton, monk of Gethsemani Abbey.
We offer two cozy, antique-appointed rooms for overnight lodging. Each is $95 per night which includes a full breakfast of traditional Central Kentucky favourites and new twists. (Bring your appetite!)
Our Rooms:
The primary room is a large chamber with a queen bed, mini-fridge, and TV. The other adjacent room hastwo twin beds, small library, and a TV. Both are air conditioned, although on nice spring or fall days, the windows may be opened to allow fresh air. Bring your laptop or iPad; we offer free WIFI. These adjacent rooms surround a single bathroom, however, we would never ask separate parties to share a bath. What this means is that we only rent one room at a time, or avail the other room to the same party for extra bed space.
Used by Confederate General John Hunt Morgan as his headquarters during his raids on Lebanon, Myrtledene today offers slightly more relaxed environs for our guests. With two guest rooms, the house is completely furnished in antiques. Guests are encouraged to make themselves at home and make use of the entire house and grounds.
Phones, television, wireless internet service, a library, a refrigerator, and piano are here for our guests' use. The large yard with gardens, wisteria arbor, fish pond, swings, and hammocks are ideal for couples on a romantic retreat, readers looking for a peaceful spot, or children who need a safe place to play.
Myrtledene has been designated a Kentucky Landmark by the Kentucky Heritage Committee
Today's "raiders" can use Myrtledene as their headquarters as they come to experience traditional Southern hospitality and visit the many area attractions.
