About the host
Hosted by Thea

Hi there! I'm a proud mom of 4, passionate vacation rental host, and hospitality enthusiast. We have two beautiful properties: a charming historic home in the heart of Frankfort, KY along the Bourbon Trail, and a cozy nature retreat in Norton Shores, MI, just minutes from Lake Michigan.
Hospitality is my heart—whether it's providing unforgettable stays or championing healthcare for underserved communities. I believe in the power of kindness, comfort, and connection, both in our homes and in the lives of others. 💛

Why they chose this property
Nestled in the heart of Kentucky's Capital City, our property is surrounded by the charm and history of Frankfort. Located along the world-famous Bourbon Trail, the neighborhood offers a perfect mix of small-town warmth and vibrant attractions. I love the friendly atmosphere, where locals greet you with a smile, and the convenience of being close to downtown’s historic sites, unique shops, and delicious restaurants. The area is a paradise for bourbon enthusiasts, with renowned distilleries just a short drive away, offering tours, tastings, and exclusive selections.
Some of the things I love most about the neighborhood are scenic views, beautiful historic homes, and the serene Kentucky River nearby. Whether it’s enjoying a morning coffee on the deck, exploring downtown’s rich history, or winding down in the evening in the hot tub or around the fire pit table, this neighborhood provides the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. It's a special place that truly feels like home, and I’m excited to share it with guests!

What truly sets The Frankfort Blue apart is our exceptional hospitality. Guests rave about the personalized touches, attention to detail, and our commitment to making every stay memorable. From thoughtful amenities to a warm, welcoming atmosphere, we go above and beyond to ensure you feel at home.
Located in the heart of the Bourbon Trail, our property blends modern comfort with unique features, including a 7-person hot tub, a fire pit table, and an industrial speakeasy-style basement with a Pac-Man arcade, vintage record player, and games.
Whether you’re traveling with family, friends, or solo, our versatile space is designed to meet your needs. We offer family-friendly amenities like a pack-and-play and highchair, but the cozy layout is just as inviting for couples or groups of friends. Guests love unwinding with bourbon on the deck or in the basement after exploring Frankfort’s rich history and nearby distilleries.
With a stocked kitchen, complimentary beverages in the basement, and a dog-friendly policy, The Frankfort Blue isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place to make lasting memories.
