Bourbon Trail Hidden Gem

We absolutely loved this place. It was beautifully decorated, incredibly clean and included the perfect touches to make our stay comfortable. The location was so convenient to many distilleries and the speakeasy was so much fun. We spent an evening there with a bottle of Buffalo Trace and a pizza. Our host Chase checked in with us several times with some great recommendations. . Highly recommend!

This property exceeded our expectations! We were here for a long weekend with two other couples to celebrate our anniversary and had such a great time! Attention to detail was evident throughout the home! The backyard is wonderful and not to mention there is a Speakeasy, which was easily our favorite part of the house!

Bourbon Trail must!

My husband and I rented this house along with two other couples in our long weekend adventure to explore the Bourbon trail. This house is perfectly located close to the Buffalo Trace Distillery and is only a short drive to others. The house is clean and charming. The speak easy is amazing and we immensely enjoyed the outdoor space each evening. The host was awesome and the checkin process was flawless. Our only suggested would be to add a few more hooks in the bathroom or rooms to hang up towels and full mirror somewhere in the house (we needed to check out our churchill downs outfits). We will most Definity stay here again for our next bourbon trail trip!

Had a great time at Van Winkle's Secret Speakeasy. More than enough room for our group of 6. Really enjoyed a fire out back both nights. The fire pit was preset for us! Nice touch. Chase was great and responded very quickly! Will definitely book again when back in the area.

Bourbon trail gem

Guys trip for some distillery visits on the Bourbon Trail, this place was perfect! Spacious and comfortable. Great yard with a fire pit and grill. Games. Not to mention the hideaway speakeasy where you can lose yourself with some good company and glass of your favorite. Humble neighborhood but quiet and very friendly people. Would recommend to anyone looking for a unique place in Frankfort or for anywhere close to distilleries. Thanks!
