Thoughtful in every detail, guests will experience the historic charm through the signature style of Castle & Key.

The modest mainstreet side entry belies a grand welcome within the antique doors. Guests will spill into a luxurious sitting room ripe for relaxation and libation after a long day of Kentucky adventure. Beyond the sitting room is a beautiful library filled with antique books, Castle & Key memorabilia and historic photographs.

Beautiful historical house

The pictures do not do it justice. I would stay here again. Highly recommend. The only thing I would pass along, is that parking ( loading and unloading the car) could be an issue. There is no parking except on the street. But, the ease of walking next door for dinner made up for it.

Bourbon Trail

This house was the perfect cherry on top of our great bourbon weekend. Location was great and the house itself kept us in a bourbon state of mind with its beautiful history and decor. Would definitely come back again when we do more of the trail.

Expansive property

We were 2 couples using The Stone House as our home base while meeting up with another couple for bourbon tours. This is an historic home that has been beautifully updated. If you like new, modern homes, this might not be the place for you. If you love old homes where the floors might not be completely level, walls were never plumb, and character oozes from every nook and cranny, you may love this place as much as we did. It is beautifully and stylishly appointed with loads of extra amenities to enhance your stay. There were several separate sitting areas for congregating and 3 dining areas as well as several levels of outdoor space, overlooking the Kentucky River. We loved it and would return again. Thank you!

Best VRBO in Frankfort!

From the moment we walked in we were amazed at this historical home. It's in excellent and updated condition but still keeps the "rizz" that you want with these older homes. Three couples enjoyed the house for my husband's birthday bourbon trail weekend. The hosts were extremely accommodating. They even supplied coffee beans that made a remarkable cup of coffee! It was everything and more and we can't wait to go back. We even went to the Castle & Key Distillery who owns and operates this VRBO. We were 100% impressed with the Castle and Cocktails bourbon tasting experience and highly recommend stopping by. Thank you for a awesome weekend.

Frankfurt Stay 2024

Overall we had a nice stay. We arrived around 10 pm because of a late flight. There was a homeless man sleeping outside the front door. There was a large man sitting on the bench outside the bar next door. It was a little uncomfortable. After we got inside it was fine and felt safe. The beds were very comfortable. The TV in the room with double beds is broken or we could not get it working. We loved the location in that it was close to restaurants. Parking was a little tough and would have been nice to have a designated parking spot with the property. We enjoyed reading some of the books on the history of Frankfort. All in all it was a nice stay. Thank you.

Long Weekend on the Bourbon Trail

This property is fantastic! We had 7 friends get together for a long weekend to visit nearby distilleries. The house has 3 bedrooms upstairs (enough for 7 people), but I wanted to make sure that when everybody was awake, that they had room to spread out and enjoy. The house extends room by room from the living room by the street all the way out to the dining room overlooking the Kentucky River. Specifically, 5 rooms on the ground floor where everybody could either gather, or find a room just to relax and enjoy the ambiance. Every room was elegantly appointed and provided a unique atmosphere. The location was also key right next to great restaurants and shops.

Perfect in every way!

Location is 100% perfect if you are looking for historical (museums and state capital tours), bourbon, or family activities. The house is a wonderful blend of all the ambiance of an older home but restored to make it comfortable in 2022! Here is the list of details that really made it nice! - bedding and beds are wonderful (clean, well layered blankets & pillow options!) - Wi-Fi worked in the entire house well!! My husband and I both work and needed a few moments during the trip with Wi-Fi and you can easily use the Wi-Fi in any space!! - Clean bathrooms & kitchen- top scores here!! CLEAN!!! - Kitchen had great glasses and plates, way nicer than they needed to be, and it was fun to have see a few pieces of pottery that Castle and Key made (will be trying to purchase them online later) or Hadley Pottery- nice rocks glasses too!! - New bathrooms blended well with the older home but hot water never ran out and great water pressure!! Really well done! - Location- we walked to dinner every night (Bourbon on main, Goodwood, and Sera phi i) and food was great, local taste and local care. Kids welcomed at all and great foodie food!! -bookstore, candy store, couple donut places and a fun diner all made for great walks when the kids wanted to “screen”- - Lastly we stayed there during December and it was cold outside but inside was great. I enjoyed that a few windows had that old home draft but because the space was warm you could enjoy that feeling without being cold…kind of hard to explain but the charm without a lack actual temperature fluctuation. Loved the old floors too! Restored in a really mindful way! I think they went above and beyond in the house! Extra’s that we loved: - “the book room”- found my 13 YO and 11 YO belly down on the floor looking at history books with wonderful pictures. We defiantly “rearranged” the books but they were fun for everyone! Bourbon cookbooks and great old KY fun info! - THE BATHROBES…..I left this for last because it was everyone’s favorite. They have these wonderful pure white, plush bathrobes that we wore the entire time we stayed! My 7 year old didn’t want to take it off to go eat dinner! We will be looking them up on line to buy some for sure! I took a great picture of the family on the stairs in the matching white logo robs that will defiantly be on the walls at home to remember our trip! Thanks for the memories and all the detail you put into this home!! Sarah

Enjoyed a three night stay at The Stone House. This place has so much history and charm. We could have spent a entire day reading/learning about this historical landmark. You also do not have to travel far for restaurants, distilleries and other area attractions. Perfect for our group. Thank you for providing this property for others to enjoy.
