Guest Reviews
This was our third stay at The Storybook Inn and there are a number of reasons. The Innkeeper Elise and her staff are always friendly, accommodating, and pay attentions to all the details. We have stayed in the Casablanca suite twice now and the Gone With The Wind once and have loved both. Last but not least by any means is the incredible breakfast each morning, We've never stayed...See More

I’m almost at a loss for words to describe our experience at Storybrook Inn. Elise and her delightful team were the most attentive and welcoming people. The guesthouse was exquisitely decorated with luxurious furniture and bedding, yet comfortable and elegant. Thank you for a memorable experience! I’m sure we will see you again!

Absolutely beautiful accommodations and a great Versailles location. Everything is curated with such great care to detail, from the beautiful rooms to the amazing breakfast (complete with careful attention to dietary restrictions and use of top quality ingredients!). We highly recommend A Storybook Inn for your next visit to the Bluegrass!
- Irish Acres
This is the nicest and most accommodating B&B I’ve ever stayed in. Breakfast every morning was delicious and all homemade. Elise, the owner, is so friendly and such a delight to talk to and she knows all the history about the inn. I throughly enjoyed my stay there.
- Linda Thompson
Beautiful, relaxing place with spectacular breakfasts! We stayed in the master suite in the Huntsman Chase Guesthouse and it was amazing. We had access to a lovely kitchen/dining/living room area with fireplace, back porch with a grill, front porch with a swing and rocking chairs and a cute outdoor cat! We loved sitting on the front porch each afternoon to read!
