TOP OF THE ROCK Hot tub EV Charger Buffalo Trace Bourbon Trail Fire Pit

Top of the Rock — Your Kentucky Getaway

Experience Kentucky like never before at Top of the Rock, a private lower-level retreat with million-dollar views. Perched above historic Frankfort, our property overlooks the Capitol Building, the Kentucky River, downtown Frankfort, Kentucky State University, and the rolling hills beyond — the perfect backdrop for your stay.

Unforgettable Location

Conveniently located just 50 miles from downtown Louisville and only 35 minutes from Keeneland Race Track and Lexington — home of the Kentucky Wildcats — Top of the Rock is your gateway to bourbon country, horse country, and Kentucky’s best experiences.

A True Bourbon Country Escape

Wake up to the aroma of Buffalo Trace Distillery cooking another batch of Pappy, Blanton’s, Weller, Eagle Rare, or E.H. Taylor Single Barrel. Spend the day touring world-famous distilleries, then return to your private deck to sip a cocktail while soaking in the breathtaking sunset.

Relaxation & Comfort

After a day of exploring, unwind in the outdoor hot tub with panoramic views of Frankfort’s landmarks. The space is thoughtfully designed for comfort and privacy — with just the occasional house sound reminding you this is a true home-away-from-home.

You will not find a better place to stay in Frankfort! The place was beautiful - rooms were spacious and gorgeously decorated, the view was impressive, and we were very close to the distilleries. Our hosts were the best! Mark gave us great recommendations that made our first trip so much more enjoyable - from how to make the most of touring the bourbon trail to places to dine, it was a true VIP experience.

Top of the Rock was a beautiful place to stay. It had everything we needed. Unfortunately, it was too hot out and we couldn't use the firepit. The hot tub is a nice amenity. The kitchen is well stocked, the towels are nice and the beds are comfy. Mark was very quick to respond and gave great recommendations for food and drinks nearby.We are already planning our next bourbon trip, and will definitely be staying here in the future.

Frankfort 2025 vacation

Top of the Rock was a wonderful vacation stay. Four of us had plenty of room. Having two full bathrooms is a must for us with 2 teen girls. Another feature we always look for is a washer and dryer which was user friendly. The view from the back porch was gorgeous. All the accommodations were as advertised and there weren't any surprises. Our host, Mark, made sure to frequently check on us. We appreciated that. The location was perfect. Every place we wanted to be at was just a few quick minutes from the house.

Fall 2024 KY Trip

Property was exactly as described but even better! I had several questions prior to arrival and Mark was very responsive and helpful. The beds were comfortable, we all slept soundly. The home brought all of the local flare that we hoped to see. Very well decorated from top to bottom. The view was amazing and Mark even provided us with firewood for the evenings. Close to everything that we wanted to do and see. Looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend!!!

We picked this place due to the photos of the view. Pictures don't do it justice. Watch the sun come up every morning and watch the fog roll through the valley in the evening. Very convenient location. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

. Top of the Rock — Your Kentucky Getaway

In 2018, Jane and Mark discovered this hidden gem overlooking historic Frankfort. The stunning sunrises, sweeping views, and peaceful atmosphere inspired them to share it with others — and from that dream, Top of the Rock was born.

Unforgettable Location

Perched high above the city, Top of the Rock offers a panoramic view of Frankfort — including the Capitol Building, Kentucky River, historic downtown, Kentucky State University, and more.

Conveniently located just 50 miles from downtown Louisville and 35 minutes from Keeneland Race Track and Lexington — home of the Kentucky Wildcats — it’s the perfect base for exploring bourbon country, horse country, and all Kentucky has to offer.

A True Bourbon Country Escape

Wake up to the unmistakable aroma of Buffalo Trace Distillery cooking another batch of Pappy, Blanton’s, Weller, Eagle Rare, or E.H. Taylor Single Barrel. Spend the day touring world-famous distilleries, then return to your private deck to sip a cocktail as the sun sets over the Kentucky hills.

Relaxation & Comfort

After a day of exploring, soak in the outdoor hot tub while enjoying the best views in town. The space is designed for comfort and privacy, offering a true home-away-from-home experience — with just the occasional soft sound of life upstairs reminding you that you’re part of something special.
