Our stay was excellent! We had three couples that went down to hit the bourbon Trail, the location in Shelbyville was very convenient to be right in the middle of Frankfort and Louisville. The house was gorgeous, the hot tub was relaxing, and the couple of minor problems we had were dealt with very quickly by the manager. Communication was always exceptional, and the check-in and checkout process was clear and easy. We would definitely stay in this house again.
Very clean and worked well for our group of six doing the bourbon trail. Enjoyed the history of the home and the art throughout the home. Would definitely recommend!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
The house was clean and decorated nice inside. The hot tub was enjoyable and relaxing. The property maintenance was poor. The pictures of the yard were not accurate. The grass was overgrown, weeds everywhere and very dirty outside. We were very disappointed with the lack of care outside. You take a sidewalk to the back of the house to get in, which was fine, but w cleaner sidewalk would be beneficial. Overall the stay was just ok. For the cost, we were not impressed for what we got.
The location is perfect for horse races and distillery tours. With it being located in between Lexington and Louisville, it was perfect for day trips to places of interest.
The property was really nice and the amenities were amazing. We enjoyed the hot tub and was the perfect place to catch up and enjoy family and friends.
The house was clean and so was the spa. The outside patio was wonderful. We spent most of our home time out there. Several close areas to get fuel, food and spirits. The shops were wonderful and food was great. Not too far from Louisville
We really enjoyed our stay! The home was perfect for 3 couples and was exceptionally clean. Only had to contact the host once, and they were very responsive and great to work with. Really enjoyed the back-deck with the hot tub! We would highly recommend this property.
We have stayed here before, but the new owners have improved it 10 fold! This extremely well appointed and well located property is a gem. No detail is overlooked. We will stay here again and again! Better than a 5 star hotel.
The pictures are an accurate description of the property. The hosts were very easy to communicate and ask questions.It was VERY clean and comfortable. We had 6 adults and a toddler. The houses across the street were a little sketchy, but we'd definitely book again or refer someone to that house!
We booked this property to do the bourbon trail and it was in the perfect location! Shelbyville is a really cute town with great restaurants. The property is beautiful and the owners were extremely responsive. Games and vinyl record player were a great touch. Overall, we would HIGHLY recommend.
Great location to hit several distilleries in a weekend. Awesome home with ample space for 6 adults to feel comfortable. Outdoor area was a pleasure to enjoy on Kentucky evenings.
This was a beautiful house! It was warm and comfortable and soo nicely decorated. With 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, it was perfect for our gathering. The hosts were so easy to work with, and we are hoping to return at about the same time next year.
The property is beautiful. The owners are fantastic. If you love historical buildings that have been restored to capture their history while providing modern comforts, you would be cheating yourself if you didn’t stay at this property. Kudos to the owners!
We were 3 leaders in a major company meeting in the middle to do some long term planning and coordination. The house was GREAT! Very comfortable and suited our needs perfectly. Trains going by through the night are the only negative. But we were still able to sleep.
Clean newly renovated older house with lots of character
We stayed for a week at this property. It was clean and accessible. Good location in Shelbyville but the actual neighborhood was somewhat sketchy. Had a nice hot tub, laundry facility and the kitchen was a good size and easy to navigate. There's also a dishwasher which is a plus. The property owner/managers are easy to reach and the instructions for checking in and checking out. We're clear and easy to follow.
The Three Roses gave us just what we needed a fantastic girls trip!! This home was beautiful, so many details (air purifier/sound machine in each room, beautiful art on all the walls, the kitchen had everything we needed including cubed cocktail ice ready upon arrival, the beds/sheets were so comfortable ! We had a fantastic time and would love to come stay again!!!
3 Roses Manor is an absolute gem! The house was absolutely amazing and the pictures were spot on. Not only was the house beautiful, spacious, comfortable and clean, it was fully stocked for all your needs. I have to say, the back porch was to die for….we spent every morning and evening out there enjoying a morning cup of coffee and a nice pour of local bourbon in the evening. The host was great and easy to communicate with! We will be back and highly recommend 3 Roses Manor to anyone looking to visit KY and Bourbon country.
We were 3 couples celebrating a birthday. Distilleries in Frankfort and Lawrenceburg (25 minutes) were easily assessable, as was everything in Louisville (40 minutes). This place met all of our needs.
We so enjoyed this house. It had everything we needed. The house is beautiful with three bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen was so very nice with lots of extras.
We thoroughly enjoyed the porch. So nice to relax and enjoy the weather.
The location was excellent and it was within walking distance to restaurants and boutiques.
The 6 of us loved it!!
