Some places just feel different the moment you arrive. Rickhouse Run is one of those places.



Set on a classic Frankfort corner in a beautifully preserved Victorian home, this bourbon-themed retreat is built for the kind of trip people talk about long after they get home. Whether you're here for the Bourbon Trail, horse racing season, a milestone celebration, or a long overdue crew reunion, Rickhouse Run delivers the full Kentucky experience from the moment you walk through the front gate.



WHY CHOOSE RICKHOUSE RUN?



1) The location is unbeatable. Buffalo Trace Distillery is just minutes away, craft breweries and downtown restaurants are walkable from the home, and the Kentucky River glows at dusk right around the corner. Frankfort is one of Kentucky's best kept secrets and this home puts you right in the middle of all of it.



2) No other property in Frankfort has rooms like these. Every bedroom is a bourbon tribute: the Woodford Reserve Room, the Pappy Van Winkle Room, the Blanton's Room, and the Kentucky Derby Room. Murals, barrel art, themed decor, and decorative fireplaces in the bedrooms. Your group will be talking about which room they want before they even book.



3) The game room is the stuff of legends. Your private detached game room is stocked with Ms. Pac-Man and Golden Tee arcade classics, a tournament-style poker table with 8 leather chairs, a full bourbon artwork display wall, shuffleboard, and leather sofas for the whole crew. Arcade or poker? Honestly, that's the hardest decision you'll make all weekend.



4) You're in great hands. Managed by long-time Superhost Steve Cummings, so you will receive personalized concierge service instead of calling a large management company. We also provide a digital guidebook upon booking that includes recommendations, directions, and highlights of the local area. From distillery tours to dinner reservations and everything in between, we love helping guests plan the perfect Kentucky trip.

THE BACKYARD

The backyard comes alive at night. String lights, a glowing hot tub, a crackling fire pit, perfect for s'mores or a cigar and a story, make this one of those outdoor spaces you won't want to leave.
