The property was great. It was just as described in the listing it was very clean and well maintained. We had everything we needed to enjoy the place. The location was fantastic for what we were looking for close to the two distilleries we wanted to hit and within walking distance of restaurants and bars.

Absolutely loved our stay! Melinda was a fantastic host—her communication was clear, quick, and incredibly helpful every step of the way. She was so kind and flexible, which made our experience even better. The property had such a warm, home-away-from-home feel that made it easy to relax and settle in.

Our group of family met to visit a couple of distilleries. We chose this home due to the number of king size beds. It is so nice to have comfortable sleeping for so many. The large table allowed all of us to gather together. The house was so well stocked, everything you need!! It is beautiful home!

This was the perfect property for our stay for the PGA championship. The place was charming and clean with all of the necessary amenities. It was a short walk to downtown and a quick drive to Kroger, etc. we particularly enjoyed sitting on the front porch and relaxing after a long day of walking at the course. Thanks again!

Great Weekend in Frankfort

We had a wonderful time at Bourbon Sunshine. The house is located close to the center of town, near multiple attractions. The parking in the back was spacious enough for our two large trucks. The space in the home was big enough and then some for our family of 7.
