Great location to stay for a Bourbon Trail getaway with friends.

The property is as described in the listing-I couldn’t imagine a better place to stay. Relaxing view on the Kentucky River and close to great distilleries and restaurants.

We had a great stay at Riverside Roost! The location was perfect. Very close to Woodford and Castle and Key distilleries. Within 30 minutes of many more. The house was cozy and very clean. Host Matthew Coyle made sure we had everything we needed. Our dog loved the big back yard.

Warm Welcome

We enjoyed our stay immensely. The house was warm and comfortable despite the chilly rain outside. It was a perfect launch point for us to explore the region and sample the bourbon found there. The view of the Kentucky River entertained us as we watched it flow by. I would have extended my stay there if I could.

Quiet Kentucky Riverfront Getaway

The property was immaculate, clean, updated, and ready for us upon arrival. There had been recent flooding in the past three weeks in the area but the property stood out as not showing any signs of issues from the flooding. The rooms are as advertised in the photos, great living space and a wonderful deck area to sit and enjoy the river and listen to the birds while you enjoy a beverage outside. The location puts you a short drive from numerous points of interest whether that be a distillery, places to eat, or sightseeing, this is a great place to stay at!!

Quick trip

We stayed two nights here. The house is super clean and has everything you need. The check in was easy, and the home was convenient for visiting bourbon distilleries. The street/neighborhood is less than desirable for my taste. But that might just be par for the town.

Nice Quiet Getaway

Spacious house with lots of privacy. We enjoyed the deck overlooking the Kentucky River. We also got a kick out of feeding an apple to the miniature neighborhood horse, Lilly. House is conveniently located near bourbon tours and Henry Clay's house, so a nice mixture of things to do. Matt was on top of things and is a great host. When in the area again I will definitely book.

Great Stay!

We had a great time at Riverside Roost. It is the perfect location to enjoy the Versailles and Frankfort areas while staying in a quiet setting with trees and views of the river. If you're doing the bourbon trail, I can't think of a better spot. Still close enough for a day at Churchill Downs (about an hour), 15 mins to grocery stores, but in a setting that feels away from it all. We've stayed at a lot of vacation rentals and never had a host so communicative. It was fantastic to feel that if we needed anything, it would be taken care of. We reached out prior to our visit about the floods and within minutes received a phone call. During our stay we had multiple messages making sure all was good. Would definitely stay here again if visiting the area.
