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.

    This is the most beautiful place to stay with the best view in Frankfort. Mark and Jane have got this dialed in as the perfect home away from home. The perfect place to relax after enjoying the nearby burbon distilleries.

    Top of the Rock was a wonderful vacation stay. Four of us had plenty of room. Having two full bathrooms is a must for us with 2 teen girls. Another feature we always look for is a washer and dryer which was user friendly. The view from the back porch was gorgeous. All the accommodations were as advertised and there weren't any surprises. Our host, Mark, made sure to frequently check on us. We appreciated that. The location was perfect. Every place we wanted to be at was just a few quick minutes from the house.

    Property was exactly as described but even better! I had several questions prior to arrival and Mark was very responsive and helpful. The beds were comfortable, we all slept soundly. The home brought all of the local flare that we hoped to see. Very well decorated from top to bottom. The view was amazing and Mark even provided us with firewood for the evenings. Close to everything that we wanted to do and see. Looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend!!!

    Top of the rock has been one of the best VRBOs we have ever stayed at. The owners are great, friendly, and helpful in every way. Its location to see all the distilleries in the area is great, within one hour of most if not all the best ones in KY. You feel like you are staying at one of the distillers privately. The views are the best in the area, morning coffee on the patio is relaxing and breathtaking. Will be going back as soon as we can...

    This was our third consecutive year staying at the Too of the Rock. We’ve been riding the organized Georgetown cycling event for several years - but after finding this beautiful home - we plan to continue as long as we’re able to ride. The Stampers are excellent hosts. The home is beautiful and well appointed. Location is close to everything. Frankfort is a beautiful capital city. Good good, good people and good times all for the taking. We will be back.
