Great location to explore the Bourbon trail

House and location were beautiful. Location allowed us to stop at Buffalo Trace every morning for the bourbon of the day and explore other distilleries in the area. Enjoyed the time spent with our friends around the campfire each night and view of Kentucky river.

Bourbon Country River Home

Historic fish camp house nestled on the Kentucky River was a great stay for my wife and I as we explored the Bourbon Trail. Stayed for a week… quiet, secluded with views of the river yet only 10 minutes from Buffalo Trace. Check-in and check out was easy and all amenities as advertised. Great home if you’re lookin for an escape yet close enough to whatever you need.

Awesome Stay

This property was amazing! Great views, especially from the back looking at the river. Fantastic way to end the day on the bourbon trail. The property was close enough that we got to visit all of the distilleries we wanted to while also providing us a quiet area to relax and unwind. Would highly reccomend!

Fantastic view

We checked in and stayed there for five nights, this was a perfect place for us to stay for four adults, during the day we traveled all over the Bourbon Trail, and in the evenings we sat out by the fire over looking the river. The accommodations were perfect for all of us and the view was spectacular. I will be definitely booking this house again for a stay with friends as it was perfect for our trip.

Bourbon Country Stay

We stayed at the river house for one night during a girls trip to Kentucky Bourbon Country. The house was clean and orderly and the surrounding yard and views were beautiful. Would definitely stay here again and arrive at the house earlier in the day so that we could enjoy the surroundings more.

Property was amazing. Very clean, super easy booking, amazing price. The location is so perfect for Bourbon Trail and exploring Kentucky. We will be back for sure. The lightning bugs around the outdoor fireplace watching the river flow by was worth it alone!!!

Buffalo Trace Tour Stay

Pleasantly surprised at the proximity to the distillery. The property was gorgeous with amazing views of the river. The house was very quaint with a great kitchen. There could be some additional cooking utensils provided but we were able to make do and perhaps have a layout of the cabinets (there’s tons of cabinet space so easy to get lost in them). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

My 40th Birthday Celebration

What a great time! Views for days and the weather was perfect. Drove from Indiana to do the bourbon trail and the location was great. Super close to Buffalo Trace. We hit up Main Street Cafe for breakfast The Stave for dinner. What a great trip. Looking to book again soon!

Lovely Spot

We went down here to do some of the bourbon trail activities. The convenience of the house was perfect for us. The view is really lovely, and the house is great. It's an older house that has some charm to it. We used the fire pit and appreciated that there was plenty of wood available!

Pre birthday trip

This was my second stay at this lovely house. It’s in a perfect location for some peace but close enough to all the distilleries in Frankfort. Nice old farm house with everything you need for a trip to Kentucky. We love sitting by the fire pit in the evening and watching the sunset over the river. Will be making a trip back here again in the future.

River House

Loved the serenity of the house! After busy days visiting several cities, it was so nice to go back to this house on the river. So peaceful and quiet. It’s an old house, so the layout isn’t open floor plan, but we enjoyed the history the house had.

Great little getaway!

This property is spectacular! The view is unbelievably beautiful. The house is very cute and we had everything we needed. We wish the second floor would have had a bathroom, but other than that, it was great. We wish the weather would have been better so we could have spent more time outside. Such a nice, quiet spot and close to all the Frankfort amenities.

Everything We Needed

I booked the stay with Donald because I was looking for something that could accommodate my group of 8, while also not being too far from the main attractions we planned to visit over the course of the weekend. I can confidently say that Donald's place is not only a welcoming and peaceful property, but it was less than a half hour from all the things we wanted to see and do. Donald was very responsive on the day of check-in and even allowed us to access the place earlier in the day. We would definitely stay here again!
