    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!

    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!

    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!

    This house was great. It is exactly as shown in the pictures. The bourbon theme is fun and the location great. What we really appreciated was the well-stocked kitchen with pots, pans, utensils, garbage bags, spices, and ice!!! This is really helpful. Being able to arrive at a location and cook without needing to buy the basics or plan to make something only to discover the necessary tools lacking was awesome. Finally, the guide the host provided was great. We would absolutely recommend this place, and definitely stay here again!

It’s located on a beautiful historic street, close to golf and several distilleries. The hosts were incredibly helpful with great local recommendations and excellent communication.

    The house was a perfect fit for three couples. Each couple had their own private space and there was plenty of room to enjoy each other's company in the speak easy themed den. We were all especially impressed with the amenities that were available including plenty of dish and laundry soap, toilet paper, toweling, garbage bags, etc. If you are a fan of Buffalo Trace, this location is ideal. We were able to stop in each day to take advantage of the once every 90 days allotment of Eagle Rare, Blanton's, Weller, and E.H. Taylor. The drives to both Lexington and Bardstown are also quick and convenient. This house is truly perfect for enjoying all there is to offer for bourbon lovers.

    I recently traveled to Kentucky for an NCLEX review in Western Kentucky, and let me tell you, I made a mistake with my location! The home I booked was about an hour and a half away, but it was absolutely worth it. This place was gorgeous, with so many thoughtful details everywhere you looked. Steve and Tricia were amazing hosts—super attentive and quick to answer all my questions. I was initially hesitant to book, but I’m so glad I did; I honestly don’t know why I waited so long! The home was not only welcoming but also immaculate, with incredibly comfy beds that made it feel like a true retreat. Each room was beautifully decorated, showcasing stunning design. My family and I were genuinely sad when it was time to leave. I can’t wait to come back! If I could give it a rating, it would be a solid 10 out of 10!
