The surrounding property is low income but we met several of the elderly neighbors one was actually Santa Claus. I went out early on a Saturday morning to see an elderly man with his bright red trousers with big fuzzy white cuffs feeding his cat. He was getting dressed to play Santa Claus on the Santa train in nearby Versailles, Kentucky. The house is old but extremely clean with comfortable beds and well supplied kitchen. There’s a nearby bakery the outstanding in very easy walking distance. The Kentucky State Capitol is only a two blocks away. Parking was was a little concern when we arrived but never a problem. The nice neighbor whose home we parked in front of just asked we not park on the sidewalk or block his access.

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.

This property is exactly as advertised on the site. It was clean and convenient to the amenities of the Frankfort, KY region! The hosts were easy to communicate with via the app and everything went perfectly. A big shout out to our hosts! We will stay here again next time we’re in town!

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!

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).

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.

Pretty close to attractions but…
This stay was alright. Could’ve been better with more communication on behalf of the host. The bathroom sink had a leak and it was late at night. We messaged the host and they responded right away and would send someone over the next day. It would’ve been nice to know when they were sending someone over to fix the sink but there wasn’t any communication about that. We stopped in for a bit during the day to drop off some items and the person fixing the sink was there. Not a big deal however, it would’ve been nice to know if someone was there just so we didn’t get startled. In the evening when we returned, there was still water dripping from the bottom of the sink. We notified the host and someone would get sent out in the morning again. The good thing is the problem seemed to work itself out and the sink stopped dripping after I cleaned it up. The floors are dirty so bring your own house slippers. The list of snack/breakfast items on the board was not available. Not a big deal but the board was misleading. The location was great. 15-20 minute walking distance to downtown which has plenty of restaurants and bars. One thing that I wish we knew was that there are neighborhood cats around. We weren’t sure if they were strays or if they belonged to the neighbors. There are several of them and they all seem to be nice and keep to themselves. Sometimes at night they might startle you. Overall decent stay but things could have been better.

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.

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.
