CHATEAU BOURBON FEATURED ON NORTON COMMONS PODCAST!

Our good friend and neighbor, Jason Black of Artisan Signature Homes, recently asked me to speak about Norton Commons bed-and-breakfast on his weekly podcast series, which covers various aspects of custom home building and business design here in Louisville, KY.

Naturally, when his clients are coming to build or buy homes in Norton Commons, it’s convenient for them to be able to stay right in the neighborhood.

Chateau Bourbon Bed & Breakfast now open!

We did it! After much preparation and hard work, Chateau Bourbon officially opened its doors to the community on Wednesday, January 20th.

THE IDEA: Our journey began in August 2014. I had spent the summer observing and reflecting upon the growth of Norton Commons. Several of my neighbors had opened successful businesses in the community that year and I noticed my own entrepreneurial juices started to flow.
