Petticoat is a beautiful historic home. It's been updated but they did a wonderful job of keeping the home's original charm. I love all of the personal touches. The backyard is amazing and we spent most of our time there relaxing and hanging out. It's super close to Buffalo Trace and the cute shops in town. Thanks for a wonderful time!

Wonderful!

Very nicely appointed and location was perfect as a staging ground for our bourbon trail getaway. The neighborhood was also lots of fun and quite vibrant. We highly recommend the House of Commons just a couple blocks away!

Wonderful home and location

Carriage on Peacock was a wonderful home base for our tour of the Bourbon Trail. The house had plenty of space and was well appointed. It is in a pretty historic section of downtown Frankfort and is walking distance to several restaurants. Highly recommend!

The Carriage was a lovely spot for us, coming to it after an exciting family wedding in Louisville and headed for a bunch of stops along the bourbon trail. It was comfortable, clean, and nicely decorated. The host contacts were very responsive to our questions about the thermostat. We had everything we needed at the Carriage (except napkins). Frankfort is interesting but we did find out that it is not a great food town. We had 4 foodies with us and couldn't find a restaurant to recommend. Our dinner nights were Sunday and Monday and lots of places were closed. We did ask a policeman we passed on the street and at his suggestion we went to the Burger place, which had good burgers, but that's about it. Super nice people, but there was zero atmosphere.

House had plenty of room but needs a deep cleaning and lightbulbs.The air conditioning units needed filters cleaned, oven was dirty, dead flies and bugs in corners and window sills, bed linens and pillows were musty, laundry detergent dispenser was moldy, windows were very dirty, “fire pit” was broken, floors were dirty, etc.Both bathrooms needed lightbulbs and light fixtures are quite dirty.Check out review of guests who stayed here in September. Review is spot on.When I reached out to owner, she said they would send someone over with lightbulbs. No one showed. When I texted about cleaning, she ghosted me and said she never received my messages. When I texted in the same thread asking about departure requirements, she responded immediately. Though we liked the area, we would not recommend this VRBO.Also, don’t go to Bourbon on Main. Food and service are horrible.If you happen to go to Louisville, you absolutely have to go to Guacamole Modern Mexican restaurant! Ut is fantastic! Food and service were outstanding!!When I reached

Would return!

This home is so cute and quaint! The location was perfect - walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants, as well as central to many distilleries. Stayed here with two other couples and it was a comfortable and fun stay! Home decor was a nice touch and also very comfortable beds- house had everything you would need. Street parking only but many spots available. One bedroom is in the loft portion upstairs without a door but it is still secluded and offers privacy.
