Frankfort charm at its best!

We had a fantastic stay at this charming home in Frankfort, KY with another couple. The house was perfect for two couples—clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were cozy, and we loved spending time in the fenced yard, using the fire pit, grill, and hot tub. It’s located on a beautiful historic street, close to golf and several distilleries. The hosts were incredibly helpful with great local recommendations and excellent communication. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway with friends

Perfect space for a couples getaway!

The house was a perfect fit for three couples. Each couple had their own private space and there was plenty of room to enjoy each other's company in the speak easy themed den. We were all especially impressed with the amenities that were available including plenty of dish and laundry soap, toilet paper, toweling, garbage bags, etc. If you are a fan of Buffalo Trace, this location is ideal. We were able to stop in each day to take advantage of the once every 90 days allotment of Eagle Rare, Blanton's, Weller, and E.H. Taylor. The drives to both Lexington and Bardstown are also quick and convenient. This house is truly perfect for enjoying all there is to offer for bourbon lovers.

Beautiful home in great location

We had a lovely stay at this property. It is beautifully restored/renovated, very well equipped, and in a great location - walkable to Main St. and a short drive to many distilleries. Things to note: Master bedroom is very brightly lit at night from street lights and neighbor's outside lights so bring an eye mask!

Bourbon Trail Sibs Trip

Book this place now!! This adorable home is in a prime location for all of your bourbon trail activities. The decor is just as lovely as pictured, and the beds are very comfortable. The hot tub provided a relaxing spot for us girls to unwind, while our hubbies kicked back around the fire pit. We began each morning lazily with coffee around the whiskey room’s gas fireplace. It was divine!

Weekend with Friends

The Bluegrass Bourbon house was great for 3 couples with the three bedrooms and baths, large well-equipped kitchen, and Speakeasy room. It was too cold to use the firepit and hot tub, so we plan to return again in warmer weather. The host was very quick to respond and attentive to my questions. He made the rental experience wonderful, excellent host.

My first experience renting an Air-b/b

I recently traveled to Kentucky for an NCLEX review in Western Kentucky, and let me tell you, I made a mistake with my location! The home I booked was about an hour and a half away, but it was absolutely worth it. This place was gorgeous, with so many thoughtful details everywhere you looked. Steve and Tricia were amazing hosts—super attentive and quick to answer all my questions. I was initially hesitant to book, but I’m so glad I did; I honestly don’t know why I waited so long! The home was not only welcoming but also immaculate, with incredibly comfy beds that made it feel like a true retreat. Each room was beautifully decorated, showcasing stunning design. My family and I were genuinely sad when it was time to leave. I can’t wait to come back! If I could give it a rating, it would be a solid 10 out of 10!
