This house was the perfect cherry on top of our great bourbon weekend. Location was great and the house itself kept us in a bourbon state of mind with its beautiful history and decor. Would definitely come back again when we do more of the trail.
We wanted to stay central to Louisville and Bourbon Trail. It was our first time to Kentucky and we were in for a treat. We ate at some great places, GoodWood, Limewater, and Bardstown .Frankfort was just recovering from a serious flooding but they were at full operation.
From the moment we walked in we were amazed at this historical home. It's in excellent and updated condition but still keeps the "rizz" that you want with these older homes. Three couples enjoyed the house for my husband's birthday bourbon trail weekend. The hosts were extremely accommodating. They even supplied coffee beans that made a remarkable cup of coffee! It was everything and more and we can't wait to go back. We even went to the Castle & Key Distillery who owns and operates this VRBO. We were 100% impressed with the Castle and Cocktails bourbon tasting experience and highly recommend stopping by. Thank you for a awesome weekend.
We were 2 couples using The Stone House as our home base while meeting up with another couple for bourbon tours. This is an historic home that has been beautifully updated. If you like new, modern homes, this might not be the place for you. If you love old homes where the floors might not be completely level, walls were never plumb, and character oozes from every nook and cranny, you may love this place as much as we did. It is beautifully and stylishly appointed with loads of extra amenities to enhance your stay. There were several separate sitting areas for congregating and 3 dining areas as well as several levels of outdoor space, overlooking the Kentucky River. We loved it and would return again. Thank you!

Frankfurt Stay 2024
Overall we had a nice stay. We arrived around 10 pm because of a late flight. There was a homeless man sleeping outside the front door. There was a large man sitting on the bench outside the bar next door. It was a little uncomfortable. After we got inside it was fine and felt safe. The beds were very comfortable. The TV in the room with double beds is broken or we could not get it working. We loved the location in that it was close to restaurants. Parking was a little tough and would have been nice to have a designated parking spot with the property. We enjoyed reading some of the books on the history of Frankfort. All in all it was a nice stay. Thank you.
What a wonderful historic property in a great location to walk and explore the city. Traveled with my wife and 2 kids 6 and 2 and everyone was comfortable and enjoyed their stay.
The house was amazing. So much character, history and charm. The owners were very responsive and communication was fast and easy. I would definitely come back in the future.
Super easy check-in/check-out process. Property manager was on top of everything for our stay. The house is beautifully remodeled and very comfortable. We will definitely be coming back!
Beautiful historical house within walking distance of many restaurants and bars. Very large inside with tons of interesting decorations. Remodeled very nicely. Great visit.
We had a great time at the property. We spent the whole day going to different tastings and spent the late afternoon enjoying the home. Great experience with Heath!
The property was great. Large enough and nicely decorated and supplied. Definitely felt that this came with more things than the average rental. Convenient location, street parking was not an issue. I would do it again.
There was a group of us that stayed here to golf and visit distillery's for my 40th birthday. The house is a really neat old house with lots of space to hang out. The restaurant/bar next door has good food and a huge bourbon selection. There are restaurants, coffee shops, and bars all within walking distance. My only heads up is that one of of the single beds is more of a day bed/couch then an actual bed. You don't have a designated parking spot, but we had no problem finding places to park nearby.
