One of the best rentals I’ve ever stayed in. We had three couples celebrating a 60th birthday. The three separate bedrooms all with a private bath were great. Fans in every room along with good air conditioning was greatly appreciated. The kitchen was great. We loved hanging in the speakeasy one night. Correspondence with the owner was prompt and he went above and beyond for us.

This house is perfect. Centrally located in Frankfort. It was perfect for three adult couples. The house was immaculate. We stayed three nights, cooked dinner, and even used the hot tub. The house has everything you need. Steve was great. He checked in and answered all questions very promptly. Will definitely stay here again when we visit more distilleries. Thanks again Steve.

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.

The perfect eclectic house for a family bourbon tour for all ages!

We loved this home!! So fun and every detail was perfect! When we arrived, the AC was not working, but Steve had someone out there immediately and it was fixed in no time. Top notch service!! The location was perfect and made navigating the area super easy. While the guys did bourbon tours, the girls and the kids explored the local sites, parks, and restaurants. We also went to the Ark our last day. It was a great time had by all!

Distilleries and Horses.

We met family in to tour distilleries and horse farms. This was the perfect spot for our family from the spacious bedrooms and baths. To the kitchen to both hang out spaces and back yard it was perfect. The historical charm and modern convenience were perfection. We loved the hot tub, fire-pit and game areas were great for enjoying the evenings.

Great Stay for My Husband's 50th BDay Trip

Great place!

This house was great. It is exactly as shown in the pictures. The bourbon theme is fun and the location great. What we really appreciated was the well-stocked kitchen with pots, pans, utensils, garbage bags, spices, and ice!!! This is really helpful. Being able to arrive at a location and cook without needing to buy the basics or plan to make something only to discover the necessary tools lacking was awesome. Finally, the guide the host provided was great. We would absolutely recommend this place, and definitely stay here again!

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

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!
