We enjoyed our time at this location! We loved all the space that was here and the kitchen was very large and clean! The bathrooms were clean as well! All of us slept well in the very comfy beds.

Charming and homey

The property is nicely updated but retained so much of its original character, was very clean and well stocked, just like being in your own home. The location was convenient and our group of friends really enjoyed our stay, especially our morning coffee in the cute front porch.

Home Away from Home

Absolutely loved our stay! Melinda was a fantastic host—her communication was clear, quick, and incredibly helpful every step of the way. She was so kind and flexible, which made our experience even better. The property had such a warm, home-away-from-home feel that made it easy to relax and settle in. We’d absolutely stay again and highly recommend her place to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming getaway.

Great Weekend in Frankfort

We had a wonderful time at Bourbon Sunshine. The house is located close to the center of town, near multiple attractions. The parking in the back was spacious enough for our two large trucks. The space in the home was big enough and then some for our family of 7.

Consulting Biz Set-Up at Bourbon Sunshine

Excellent property - a team of three used it to set up an elite boutique business. Very close to downtown Frankfort, 4-5 blocks from the state capitol. Four good sized bedrooms, all with queen beds, TVs, etc. Nice place. Grill.

Family reunion and Bourbon Distillery visiting

Our group consisted of 8 adults and an 8 month old! We come to Kentucky yearly to enjoy the distilleries. This home was perfect for us! It was clean, Melinda was easy to get ahold of if needed, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was complete! Bonus for us was that it is only 10 minutes to Buffalo Trace! We'll be back!

Family Trip

Our group of family met to visit a couple of distilleries. We chose this home due to the number of king size beds. It is so nice to have comfortable sleeping for so many. The large table allowed all of us to gather together. The house was so well stocked, everything you need!! It is beautiful home!

PGA Championship at Valhalla

This was the perfect property for our stay for the PGA championship. The place was charming and clean with all of the necessary amenities. It was a short walk to downtown and a quick drive to Kroger, etc. we particularly enjoyed sitting on the front porch and relaxing after a long day of walking at the course. Thanks again!

Very roomy, comfortable and clean

The stay was wonderful. The property was clean, everything in working order, and the property was plenty spacious. The beds were comfortable, the rooms private and the bathrooms in clean and perfectly good working order. The entrance was a bit tricky to find on our first time there, but the property itself was just as we expected. Multiple clean towels, rags, and everything needed for the bathroom. The kitchen was clean and plenty of glasses and plates to use. Great place and extremely comfortable.
