Capital City Cottage

Nice place and easy check-in. First time in a VRBO. Great access to the Frankfort distilleries and downtown restaurants and other attractions. However, it is only a 1 bath. The listing on VRBO says 1+, so we thought there was a half bath, there is only ONE bathroom.

The house was very well setup. Very clean. Only thing I would suggest is step stool for bedroom off the kitchen. Bed is very high would make it easier to get into the bed. Also a bedside lamp for the other bedroom. Will stay again if available. Thank you!

Fantastic in Frankfort

My coworker and I recently stayed here and the space was not only nice but impeccably clean, making it a very comfortable stay. Its location was ideal, conveniently close to local attractions, amenities, and the Capitol, which made exploring the area a breeze. Additionally, communication with the host was seamless and efficient, ensuring any questions or needs I had were promptly addressed. Overall, it was a wonderful stay that exceeded my expectations, and I wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Cute but needs a couple of things

Cottage was cute and exceptionally clean with everything you could need. A couple of things could have been better. The bathroom is on the back of the house which made it a trek in the middle of the night. Some of the blinds had broken slats which made me a little nervous about people peaking in, especially considering how close the homes are. The shower also needs some work. The neighborhood is aged with small renovated houses beside houses that are a bit run down. Didn’t feel unsafe but not what we were expecting. Parking is on the street and very tight. There are friendly neighborhood cats.

Quiet Frankfort cottage

Overall our stay was good. The location was great and only a few blocks walk from the capitol building and a short drive from the older downtown area. Also it was very easy to get around to other sights in the area. The cottage itself was generally pretty comfy and clean. Some of the kitchen cabinets weren't great and dishes had been put away wet (and were still wet) but overall we felt comfortable. The one thing to note is the check-in instructions sent mentioned pictures helping to explain the parking locations were available on the listing's check-in information but there is nothing in the check-in information on Vrbo. We figured it out by just parking where we saw others parking and it was fine so we didn't reach out to the hosts. But it would have been helpful to have a printout of the relevant info in the information book in the property at least (as the only info in there on parking also mentioned looking at the listing information online which wasn't helpful).

Nice Inside-Not So Much Outside

Inside the cottage was neat, clean and looked like the photos in the listing. The only issue we had with Inside the cottage was the lack of Privacy due to the blinds on the front door and door at the front bedroom. I was in the living room and thought the porch light was on. I went to turn off the front porch light and it was off. The light was coming from the front bedroom lights. I was literally able to watch my boyfriend in-between the blind and window of the bedroom door leading outside. He would have never known if a stranger was watching from outside. I also could do the same looking into living room from the front porch at night. Since the cottage is so close to other residence, we were not comfortable. The outside was not like the photos of the outside in the listing and very disappointed. The grass was very high and two outside garbage cans had not been emptied in quiet some time. The grass was extremely high in the back lawn-patio area. Grass and weeds were so high that I did not see the pathway from the porch to the patio area and I turned my ankle on the pathway brick border. I did contact the owner on VRBO and asked how long it had been since the owner had been to the unit. The owner did not want photos of proof and stated that due to storms & weather, they were behind. I honestly do not believe the reason why because the mailbox was over flowing with mail. I gave this review with details and candor.
