Great location to stay for a Bourbon Trail getaway with friends.

The property is as described in the listing-I couldn’t imagine a better place to stay. Relaxing view on the Kentucky River and close to great distilleries and restaurants.

Comfort & Convenience

Perfect location for visiting distilleries with close access to great local restaurants. Beds are so comfy, all kitchen amenities you would need, and second full bathroom is key. Outdoor space is wonderful, trees for shade and river right out the back. Host was responsive and communicated well. Would definitely stay again!!

Quick trip

We stayed two nights here. The house is super clean and has everything you need. The check in was easy, and the home was convenient for visiting bourbon distilleries. The street/neighborhood is less than desirable for my taste. But that might just be par for the town.

Riverside retreat

Home is back in the river country. Newly remodeled home is clean and well-appointed. Great place for summer family gathering, but stairs are a challenge for older guests.

Nice Quiet Getaway

Spacious house with lots of privacy. We enjoyed the deck overlooking the Kentucky River. We also got a kick out of feeding an apple to the miniature neighborhood horse, Lilly. House is conveniently located near bourbon tours and Henry Clay's house, so a nice mixture of things to do. Matt was on top of things and is a great host. When in the area again I will definitely book.

Warm Welcome

We enjoyed our stay immensely. The house was warm and comfortable despite the chilly rain outside. It was a perfect launch point for us to explore the region and sample the bourbon found there. The view of the Kentucky River entertained us as we watched it flow by. I would have extended my stay there if I could.

Why they chose this property

The Roost is located in the small River Community of Clifton along the Kentucky River. Just a few minutes from Woodford Reserve and Castle and Key distillery and historic down town Versailles. We do have neighbors on both sides but the fully fenced in back yard backs up to the scenic Kentucky River. The house is on piers so there are some great views from the rear facing windows. We also have the added bonus of being a 1/4 mile away from a public boat ramp.

What makes this property unique

The house is newly remodeled and is on piers with a large deck overlooking the scenic Kentucky River. Did someone say Bourbon!?! There are several distilleries in the area that put on awesome tours and even some tastings! Lets not forget the top race horse farms in the Country just down the road.
