Carriage on Petticoat

We had high hopes for Carriage on Petticoat. The listing sounded wonderful and the property was rated highly. However, when we arrived, it was immediately obvious that the house needed a deep cleaning. Rugs were soiled and worn. The stair runners were gray with obvious footprints. The bathmats in both bathrooms were filthy and needed to be washed before our use. The windows appeared to not have been washed all season and when we cleaned a couple on the first floor, our paper towel came up black. Lightbulbs were out in both bathrooms. The bedcoverings were soiled from previous guests. Overall, these issues cast a negative tone upon our whole trip. To further frustrate us, when we contacted the host and management company after the trip, we received limited and poor communication. We sent pictures of the condition of the house. Initially, both sounded concerned about the conditions we showed and described to them. However, that communication became spotty and eventually both simply ghosted us. We didn't so much as receive a promise that they would make sure to correct the problems for future guests. We hesitated leaving such a negative review, but we want people who are considering Carriage on Petticoat in the future to be wary and seriously look for another option if they want a property that is well maintained and clean.

Opportunities for improvement. Temp's were in the low 30's when we arrived in the evening. All thermostats were set at 53 degrees. It took 2 days to get the house up to a comfortable temperature. 70 degrees. very uncomfortable 1st night. Main level bedroom has a step right at the door. a permanent night light is needed there. I about had a very ugly fall. The outside Christmas lights run 24/7 which dumps tremendous light into the lower bedroom, a dawn/dusk sensor with several hour runtime would rectify this and still keep the beauty of the evening lights. Location & amenities were great

An excellent stay for five nights. Four adults and a small dog. It’s located on a one way street, our GPS couldn’t figure that out. We parked across the street and faced the back of the house. Easy check in. Excellent communication and feedback.Comfortable beds. Well stocked kitchen. The coffee bar is second to none.Bedrooms are large and comfortable. No one used the third bedroom. Large yard for the dog. Nice area to walk. Hearing the church bells during the day was an added bonus. Will be back in the future.Sidenote:My son in law left some clothes in the drawers in the second floor bedroom. Please contact me if they are still there.

Great location. So many things to do and see. House was great and owners were wonderful to work with for the stay. House is in a perfect location in town. Would stay here again.

The Carriage was a lovely spot for us, coming to it after an exciting family wedding in Louisville and headed for a bunch of stops along the bourbon trail. It was comfortable, clean, and nicely decorated. The host contacts were very responsive to our questions about the thermostat. We had everything we needed at the Carriage (except napkins). Frankfort is interesting but we did find out that it is not a great food town. We had 4 foodies with us and couldn't find a restaurant to recommend. Our dinner nights were Sunday and Monday and lots of places were closed. We did ask a policeman we passed on the street and at his suggestion we went to the Burger place, which had good burgers, but that's about it. Super nice people, but there was zero atmosphere.

House had plenty of room but needs a deep cleaning and lightbulbs.The air conditioning units needed filters cleaned, oven was dirty, dead flies and bugs in corners and window sills, bed linens and pillows were musty, laundry detergent dispenser was moldy, windows were very dirty, “fire pit” was broken, floors were dirty, etc.Both bathrooms needed lightbulbs and light fixtures are quite dirty.Check out review of guests who stayed here in September. Review is spot on.When I reached out to owner, she said they would send someone over with lightbulbs. No one showed. When I texted about cleaning, she ghosted me and said she never received my messages. When I texted in the same thread asking about departure requirements, she responded immediately. Though we liked the area, we would not recommend this VRBO.Also, don’t go to Bourbon on Main. Food and service are horrible.If you happen to go to Louisville, you absolutely have to go to Guacamole Modern Mexican restaurant! Ut is fantastic! Food and service were outstanding!!When I reached

Petticoat is a beautiful historic home. It's been updated but they did a wonderful job of keeping the home's original charm. I love all of the personal touches. The backyard is amazing and we spent most of our time there relaxing and hanging out. It's super close to Buffalo Trace and the cute shops in town. Thanks for a wonderful time!

Beautiful accommodations and location is great!

The house was beautiful, very clean, comfortable beds, cozy living area, stocked kitchen and fantastic location. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely property. Quiet, relaxing, super walkable historic neighborhood right downtown so easy walk for meals, library and More. Hope to come back

It was not the original home that we had booked. We imagine the home we stayed in was even more amazing! Beautiful home with everything you needed. Perfect location!!! Excellent and prompt communication with host! We had a fabulous experience!

We enjoyed our stay. Everything was in great condition and the location was perfect. Would recommend for anyone visiting Frankfort.

Great house, central to downtown and very well managed by the host! Hope to stay again sometime!

Hidden gem. Love the charm of this carriage house. Very spacious. Lots of amenities. Close to restaurants. Short drive to distilleries and Kentucky University.

3 of us stayed here while exploring Frankfort and local distilleries. Great location for downtown bars and restaurants. Would stay again.

Carriage on Peacock was a wonderful home base for our tour of the Bourbon Trail. The house had plenty of space and was well appointed. It is in a pretty historic section of downtown Frankfort and is walking distance to several restaurants. Highly recommend!

Very nicely appointed and location was perfect as a staging ground for our bourbon trail getaway. The neighborhood was also lots of fun and quite vibrant. We highly recommend the House of Commons just a couple blocks away!

The property is in an excellent location, and the inside of the house was wonderful.

This is a great house. Wonderful location and perfect for walking to Frankfurt’s downtown or staying in. Beds were comfortable and the house had everything we needed.

Very nice house. Conveniently located and the host was very responsive.

Great location with everything we needed for a great stay. Loved walking downtown to all the shops a restaurants. On street parking worked out just fine.

Our group loved this house and neighborhood. It was the perfect size for us and we loved that it was within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and bars.

Awesome home and area

Nice place, good host and great location. I would stay here again.

The place was perfect for our group. Centrally located and stocked. Very clean. We had a wonderful stay

This house was perfect for a weekend getaway! Conveniently located downtown within walking distance to bars/restaurants. Very cute and clean! Property was baby/small kid friendly. Would highly recommend this house to anyone.

This home is so cute and quaint! The location was perfect - walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants, as well as central to many distilleries. Stayed here with two other couples and it was a comfortable and fun stay! Home decor was a nice touch and also very comfortable beds- house had everything you would need. Street parking only but many spots available. One bedroom is in the loft portion upstairs without a door but it is still secluded and offers privacy.

6 of us (3 couples) stayed at he house this weekend. The bedrooms were large and comfortable. The kitchen and seating made it easy for all of us to cook and eat together. The second floor entertainment / hang out area was super comfortable and cozy. We're coming back again!

A small group of friends stayed briefly overnight (passing through). This home is beautifully decorated, super clean, with an amazingly hospitable host. We will stay here again! Such a cute historic area of the town as well.

Great place felt right at home

Fantastic property right in the middle of Historic Frankfort. Walking distance to great eating places. Easy driving distance to many attractions and Distilleries. House has great local themed decor and atmosphere that makes you feel at home. Highly recommend
