This house was absolutely fantastic! Located within walking distance of most of Frankfort’s downtown attractions, we were blown away at how spacious this place is! The bedrooms, bathrooms, and living spaces were huge and allowed our group of 8 to stay comfortably and without tripping all over each other. The backyard fire pit area and hot tub were perfect for relaxing after a long day of bourbon tasting. We will stay here again!!!

Fantastic Accomodations for Bourbon Trail Fun
We stayed for a long weekend Thursday-Sunday and we really had a great time! The house was perfect for three adult couples as the bedrooms were large and nicely furnished, and it has a well appointed kitchen and family room too. We checked out but did not really use the fire pit and the hot tub - maybe next time because we are likely to return! The Ann Street location is perfect for walking to dinner and as a central point to hit the local Bourbon Trail distilleries, as we were in town for Bourbon tasting in Frankfort and in Bardstown. We would also recommend Limewater and Cypress & Oak as two excellent local dining destinations for adults.

Relaxing Getaway
We were a group of 8 men visiting the area for a Bourbon trip and a relaxing getaway from our daily jobs. We had a great time and it was enhanced by this rental. The Ann Street Retreat was just that, as it is just blocks off the main areas in Frankfort and walking distance to many restaurants, bars and shops. It is under 2 miles to Buffalo Trace and under 20 miles to many other distilleries. We plan to stay again when we come back up to the area. There was plenty of room for all 8 of us and the kitchen TV is a nice touch as it is usually the main room we hang out in. The outside living area was also a nice spot to sit around and share stories, coffee and bourbon. Thanks to our host for making this a memorable trip.
