This is a beautiful 3 bedroom home located within walking distance of downtown and all of the fabulous restaurants. It is also within short driving distances to many distilleries. The house itself is lovely and well appointed. The beds were all very comfortable, showers had plenty of room and the backyard area and hot tub were wonderful. Steve our host was very easy to get in touch with and very responsive to all questions we had. Highly recommend staying at this location.

Wow, thank you for such a kind review Mandy! We’re so glad you had a great stay and were able to make the most of the location, you really can’t beat being steps away from downtown dining and close to the distilleries. The backyard and hot tub are definitely guest favorites, so it’s awesome to hear you enjoyed them too. Thanks for highlighting your great experience with our hosting, and we hope to see you again on your next getaway!

Traci, it was a pleasure hosting you at Bluegrass Bourbon House. We put a lot of thought into the setting and the little details that make coming home after a day on the bourbon trail feel easy and restorative. Hearing that the decor resonated and that the beds treated you well makes us smile. Wishing you many good memories from your time in Kentucky.
We really enjoyed our stay! The home was beautiful, clean, well-stocked, and centrally located. We loved being able to walk or run to the Capitol, and there were plenty of restaurants and bars within an easy walking distance.The house had so much character, and one of our favorite features was the front bourbon room… it was such a fun space and made for some great photos!The upstairs bedroom can get a little warm, but the host provided a portable AC unit and fans, which made it much more comfortable.We also really enjoyed the hot tub outside.Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this home! The host was amazing as well.

Bluegrass Bourbon House was perfect for our stay for a family wedding. The property was exactly as advertised. Well stocked kitchen and plenty of linens. The backyard was perfect for kids to play and everyone enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit. Communication was excellent before and during our stay. Close enough to downtown Frankfort to walk to coffee shops and dinner. Highly recommend!
