Located in the heart of charming South Frankfort, you’re just a few blocks from the Kentucky State Capitol and downtown shops, restaurants, and historic sites. This 1930s brick building has been thoughtfully renovated with an eye toward historic preservation and now features ten well-appointed, non-smoking units—ideal for legislators, government contractors, digital nomads, temporary assignments, and bourbon trail enthusiasts. Distiller’s Guest House truly feels like a home away from home.
The apartment includes a separate living room, a fully equipped, freshly remodeled kitchen, and an Art Deco–style bathroom stocked with hotel-quality towels. If you're traveling with a larger group, consider reserving neighboring units so you can gather together and still enjoy your own private space.
This short-term rental is ideally situated on a quiet, tree-lined street just a few blocks between the Kentucky State Capitol (and Capitol Annex) and downtown Frankfort, an area rich with historic buildings, museums, and local attractions.
The building is approximately 1.7 miles (about a 7-minute drive) from Buffalo Trace Distillery and about 3 miles from Bluegrass Community Hospital. Our peaceful neighborhood offers safe, walkable streets for easy trips to and from downtown.

November 2025Great spot and host! There’s quite a few things to do within a 10 minute walk or so… And if the weather is nice, you can walk a little bit further to some of the distilleries!
Bill
October 2025Great place, would stay again.
Kim
October 2025This was a perfect place to stay for us. We loved how so much was in walking distance; the Capitol, Rebecca Ruth Candy, and everything Downtown Frankfort has to offer. There are lots of distilleries and other activities near by. We visited Four Roses, Castle and Key, Buffalo Trace, Woodford Reserve, and Wild Turkey. We also went to Louisville to tour Churchill Downs and the Derby Museum. We ran out of time to do more there. We also took in Versailles visiting Blue Grass Rail Adventures and some local Wineries. Having Michelle's place as our home base was wonderful! Very comfortable and welcoming! This is a property you should book!
