Great stay in Frankfort, KY

The house was fabulous. It was old, big, beautiful and clean; full of character. It was nice to have a pool table, slot machine and an assortment of games to play. The host provided snacks, coffee, water, shampoos & conditioners. Anything you'd need. The house was five minutes from Buffalo Trace and downtown Frankfort. The only downside was the neighborhood. It is very run down, but we felt COMPLETELY SAFE. Side note - Goodwood had great food & cocktails and so did The Stave.

Bourbon Buddies

Wanted to spend a couple days doing bourbon tours. This rental fit the bill. The neighborhood is on the run down side, but felt secure. The house has a ton of old time charm with dark wood accents throughout. The three king beds were comfortable, and the house was as described. A full bath up and a full bath down. Overall, an excellent place to stay. We highly recommend! Two restaurants- The Stave and Locals Pizza- were very good.

Retirement trip to Buffalo Trace

The house is beautiful and the bedrooms are huge. That bed was the most comfortable I’ve ever had in a short term rental. Robert, our host was attentive and really nice. We will definitely be back!

Another excellent Frankfort Visit

Nice roomy house that’s very well laid out for guests. The host has really gone out of their way to make the stay easy and pleasant. We were amazed by all the extra “essentials” provided. If you forgot to pack something, other than clothes, it’s probably available in the home. We’ll definitely stay there on our next visit to Bourbon country!

Weekend in Frankfort

We visited Frankfort for the weekend & needed a central location for our outings. This house worked perfectly. All 6 of us had plenty of room to rest & relax after spending a lot of time together in a SUV. The hosts were great - welcoming & quick to respond to any questions we had. Looking forward to another trip to the area!

great house with lots of character

The location for bourbon touring is great. House is spacious, with lots of character (it is old, uneven floors, etc). Beds were very comfortable. Well supplied. Mostly clean. The neighborhood is not great, but we had no problems and were perfectly comfortable in the house.

quick weekend trip

We came down to Frankfort for a wedding and the location was perfect being close to Louisville and lexington both. The house was very spacious, bedrooms being upstairs. Easy walk to downtown and Buffalo Trace distillery and a great pizza place called Locals. When we drove in the neighborhood was a little sketchy with a few of the houses looking rundown but there were no issues and it was a very quiet area, basically the only traffic was people who lived there it seemed. The house was right across the street from the Kentucky river which had a nice walking path that we used a few times. All in all we thought it was a great place to stay and if we ever make it back I would certainly stay there again.

Whiskey tours

Our group of four stayed in this house while visiting Kentucky and touring the distilleries nearby. This house is located just a short walk from town and our group found it easy to access the bars and restaurants we needed, and the owners are wonderful accommodating,

Cute Historic gem

The location of this house was ideal for our Annual tasting at Buffalo Trace. We also enjoyed the close proximity to downtown Frankfort. We loved the roominess and historic charm of this almost 100yr old house. The neighborhood is super quiet and the people were very friendly. We’d definitely recommend this house.to anyone who is looking to stay in the area.

Great house

We really enjoyed our 3 night stay here...the host was so good with communicating back to me with all my questions. The snacks and coffee was a great addition to our stay. Our beds were so comfortable and temperature in house was perfect, especially being 92 degrees plus during our stay. The only thing was the location has alot of rundown homes, but we felt very safe and neighbors were friendly. We all in all absolutely enjoyed 702 Kentucky Ave!!!

Great place for a getaway

We stayed here during our Bourbon Trail adventures. The house and host are fantastic and the location is convenient to several of the distilleries we visited (Buffalo Trace, Castle & Key, Whiskey Thief). The house was well stocked with everything you’d want for a group getaway. Book with confidence!

Beautiful Home/Homely Neighborhood

I booked this VRBO for a couple of days of distillery tours with two friends. The home itself is spacious and as clean as a whistle. All of the rooms in this home are large and nicely done - it’s very clean and you’ll have plenty of room to spread out. The game room is a nice touch, and we played at least one game of pool each day of our visit. The home’s location in relation to downtown Frankfort is quite good. It’s a quick drive across the Kentucky river to get into downtown and all that it has to offer. We were very comfortable during our stay. However, there were three downsides to this location. The first is that the neighborhood where the house is located is pretty run down with many ramshackle dwellings. We felt safe there, but it was a bit of a shock to pull into the neighborhood at first. Secondly, although downtown is within easy walking distance from the house, getting there requires walking across a busy roadway bridge, so we chose to drive into downtown. And finally, there is significant roadway noise as the neighborhood is close to two busy thoroughfares. It helped to run the house fan continuously at night. All in all, the pros outweighed the cons for us, so my overall rating is 4 our of 5 stars. We consistently commented on how nice the interior of the home was and how comfortable it was to stay there.

Perfect for a bourbon trail stop

My wife, myself, and another couple booked this house for the first leg of our tour of the bourbon trail. It was neat, tidy, and well maintained. The beds were comfortable. It is a very close drive to several major distilleries. It is also a convenient drive to some very good local restaurants. The hosts were extremely accommodating. The pool table and slot machine gave us hours of entertainment while winding down in the evenings. Not a typical tourist neighborhood, especially for being riverfront, but very quiet and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Bourbon trail guys trip

Great location. House is old but finished very nice. Bedrooms are large and clean. The only concern I would share is that the house was cold. To be fair, it was 5 degrees outside with a wind chill below zero. Communication with the owner was very good. The pool table was a hit with all the guys after a day sipping bourbon.

Exactly what we needed..

Our stay was great!! The old house was just what we were looking for in our weekend getaway for the Marine Corps Birthday. There was plenty of room to stretch out and watch the games on Saturday. Although, some of the technology was a little tricky for the old timers we were able to figure it out. Downtown and the local establishments were a short walk over the bridge no problem at all. The house and accommodations were great. Thanks again- Eric
