Premium vacation lodging steeped in bourbon legacy and American history – Welcome to the Samuels House. Owned and operated by the founding family of Maker’s Mark Distillery, you’ll enjoy a one-of-a-kind opportunity to experience an intimate piece of Kentucky bourbon history like an insider. Set amidst two acres fitted with mature oak trees and surrounded by horse pastures, the traditional features of a 200-year-old Federal-style manor home combine with the modern luxury of plush group travel accommodations that were as carefully crafted as the whisky they are known for.
Constructed circa 1820 by John Samuels, son of Robert Samuels - who made whisky for George Washington's troops in the Revolutionary War - the property remained in family hands until the 1950s. Now, under the ownership of Robert's namesake, Rob Samuels, an eighth-generation whisky maker and Managing Director of Maker's Mark, you're invited to visit this beautifully preserved home that has played such a significant role in the Samuels family history.
Today, the home has been meticulously prepared to provide discerning travelers exclusive access to the very heart of this rich bourbon heritage. You’ll find beautifully appointed spaces peppered with dozens of personal family artifacts never displayed before. Where else can you see the deep fryer that Margie Samuels used to perfect the iconic Maker’s Mark red wax seal? It’s here. And so much more. Come live the Samuels family legacy – and make a little history of your own while you’re here.
Located in the heart of the Bluegrass State near Bardstown, KY, you’ll explore the unrivaled history, scenic natural beauty, and the birthplace of America’s native spirit.
