About this property

TOP OF THE ROCK Hot tub EV Charger Buffalo Trace Bourbon Trail Fire Pit

Top of the Rock — Your Kentucky Getaway

Experience Kentucky like never before at Top of the Rock, a private lower-level mother-in-law suite with million-dollar views. Perched above historic Frankfort, this one-of-a-kind stay overlooks the Capitol Building, Kentucky River, downtown Frankfort, Kentucky State University, and the rolling hills beyond — a stunning backdrop for your getaway.

An Unbeatable Location

Ideally located just 50 miles from downtown Louisville and only 35 minutes from Lexington and Keeneland Race Course, Top of the Rock places you right in the heart of bourbon country, horse country, and Kentucky’s best experiences.

A True Bourbon Country Escape

Wake up to the unmistakable aroma from nearby Buffalo Trace Distillery and spend your days exploring the world-famous distilleries along the Bourbon Trail. After a day of touring, return to your private deck, pour a cocktail, and take in a breathtaking Kentucky sunset.

Relaxation & Comfort

Unwind in the outdoor hot tub with panoramic views of Frankfort’s most iconic landmarks. The suite is thoughtfully designed for comfort, privacy, and a true home-away-from-home feel.

Top of the Rock is a private, fully separated lower-level suite within our home, and we (the owners) live upstairs. While you’ll have your own entrance and space, you may occasionally hear normal household activity — most guests find this minimal and appreciate the added sense of security and responsiveness during their stay.

Whether you're here for bourbon, horse racing, a UK getaway, or simply to relax and enjoy the view, Top of the Rock offers a uniquely Kentucky experience you won’t forget.

You will not find a better place to stay in Frankfort! The place was beautiful - rooms were spacious and gorgeously decorated, the view was impressive, and we were very close to the distilleries. Our hosts were the best! Mark gave us great recommendations that made our first trip so much more enjoyable - from how to make the most of touring the bourbon trail to places to dine, it was a true VIP experience.

Top of the Rock was a beautiful place to stay. It had everything we needed. Unfortunately, it was too hot out and we couldn't use the firepit. The hot tub is a nice amenity. The kitchen is well stocked, the towels are nice and the beds are comfy. Mark was very quick to respond and gave great recommendations for food and drinks nearby.We are already planning our next bourbon trip, and will definitely be staying here in the future.

We loved our stay at Top of the Rock. The location was perfect. About 10 minutes from Buffalo Trace and about 20 minutes to the other distilleries we chose to visit near Frankfort. We arrived with a Tesla at about 10% battery charge. TotR has a NEMA 14-50 and they provide the charging cable (though I brought my mobile charger). Charged at 40A and got about 30 mi/hour. Topped up by later that day. The house is great. Three nice bedrooms very well appointed. From the pictures we couldn't tell that the two bathrooms are in the hall/kitchen and don't connect to the bedrooms (just be aware). The kitchen has a Keurig and they provided some pods but it didn't have a regular coffee maker or a dishwasher. No problems though.We had too much bourbon and fun so not enough time to try the hot tub but it looked big and comfortable. Will do that on the next visit.House was super quiet. Although it's on the lower level of this home, it had a separate entrance and we didn't hear a sound from upstairs.The property owner responded to messages within minutes. Check in was simple. Wi-fi connection was simple and fast. Check out was touchless. A very nice and comfortable no drama stay.

. Top of the Rock — Your Kentucky Getaway

In 2018, Jane and Mark discovered this hidden gem overlooking historic Frankfort. The stunning sunrises, sweeping views, and peaceful atmosphere inspired them to share it with others — and from that dream, Top of the Rock was born.

Unforgettable Location

Perched high above the city, Top of the Rock offers a panoramic view of Frankfort — including the Capitol Building, Kentucky River, historic downtown, Kentucky State University, and more.

Conveniently located just 50 miles from downtown Louisville and 35 minutes from Keeneland Race Track and Lexington — home of the Kentucky Wildcats — it’s the perfect base for exploring bourbon country, horse country, and all Kentucky has to offer.

A True Bourbon Country Escape

Wake up to the unmistakable aroma of Buffalo Trace Distillery cooking another batch of Pappy, Blanton’s, Weller, Eagle Rare, or E.H. Taylor Single Barrel. Spend the day touring world-famous distilleries, then return to your private deck to sip a cocktail as the sun sets over the Kentucky hills.

Relaxation & Comfort

After a day of exploring, soak in the outdoor hot tub while enjoying the best views in town. The space is designed for comfort and privacy, offering a true home-away-from-home experience — with just the occasional soft sound of life upstairs reminding you that you’re part of something special.

Why they chose this property

Top of the Rock — The Best View in Kentucky

Top of the Rock is perched on a cliff overlooking Frankfort, the capital of Kentucky.

Wake up with a cup of coffee and watch breathtaking sunrises over the city. In the evening, sip your favorite drink and enjoy moonrises that light up the Kentucky sky.

Relax in the outdoor hot tub while taking in panoramic views of the Capitol Building, the Kentucky River, historic downtown Frankfort, and the famous Frankfort Cemetery — all from the comfort of your private deck.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the perfect balance of privacy and convenience — a quiet getaway just minutes from restaurants, distilleries, and local attractions.
