Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to leave such a kind review! We're glad everything was resolved quickly and that you had an enjoyable stay overall. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re always welcome back anytime.
The home was wonderful, clean, fully stocked and very comfortable. Has three bedrooms, perfect for our party of two couples and two sisters, there’s a full bathroom for each room, plus a bonus bathroom. This is a perfect location to the bourbon trail! Not well known Whiskey Thieves was a treat. Downtown Frankfort was also very inviting and the Brown Barrel restaurant was delicious. Appreciated them working together with us to rebook our original booking in January due to the snowstorm. They went above and beyond to make this a great experience. Thank you!

It was a pleasure hosting you, and I’m happy I could help with any questions along the way. I truly appreciate the recommendation and would be happy to welcome you back anytime!
We stayed here for a long weekend get away and had a fantastic time.The house is gorgeous - old and quirky but has everything you need. The house was probably the best stocked house I have ever rented. Plenty of kitchen supplies and the host even supplied laundry items and plenty of dishwasher tabs. The hot tub was also fantastic - exactly what is needed after a long day touring distillaries.The host was fantastic - there was still A LOT of snow and we had trouble accessing the door because of the snow piles. The owner someone out within minutes to get the snow cleared away.Can't wait to stay here again!
