This 1930s brick building is stylishly renovated with respect for its character and offers well-appointed apartments ideal for legislators, contractors, digital nomads, and bourbon trail enthusiasts. This studio features plush linens, a beautifully preserved art deco bath renovated in 2026, and a refreshed kitchen stocked with essentials. It’s your comfortable home away from home.
Step into a thoughtfully restored 1930s studio where historic charm meets easy, modern living. Sink into a full-size bed dressed in fluffy, high-quality linens, unwind with your favorite shows on the SmartTV, and start your mornings in a beautifully restored art-deco bathroom, renovated in 2026 with care for its original character.
The remodeled kitchen is stocked with the essentials you need to cook, dine, and truly settle in. The dining table and seating make it perfect for eating, relaxing or working during short or midterm stays. Every detail of the décor was chosen to honor the building’s history while creating a warm, welcoming space that feels like home.

Frankfort, Kentucky’s charming capital city, is ideally situated between Louisville and Lexington. South Frankfort is especially loved by travelers for its access to quaint, walkable downtown filled with locally owned restaurants, cozy bars, unique shops, museums, and beautifully preserved historic sites.
Stroll along quiet, tree-lined streets to the Kentucky State Capitol, the Kentucky Governor's Mansion, and the iconic Kentucky Floral Clock. Then cross the scenic Capitol Avenue Bridge to enjoy a meal and bourbon tasting at Bourbon On Main, where you can sip and dine with a beautiful view of the Capitol.
