Opportunities for improvement. Temp's were in the low 30's when we arrived in the evening. All thermostats were set at 53 degrees. It took 2 days to get the house up to a comfortable temperature. 70 degrees. very uncomfortable 1st night. Main level bedroom has a step right at the door. a permanent night light is needed there. I about had a very ugly fall. The outside Christmas lights run 24/7 which dumps tremendous light into the lower bedroom, a dawn/dusk sensor with several hour runtime would rectify this and still keep the beauty of the evening lights. Location & amenities were great

An excellent stay for five nights. Four adults and a small dog. It’s located on a one way street, our GPS couldn’t figure that out. We parked across the street and faced the back of the house. Easy check in. Excellent communication and feedback.Comfortable beds. Well stocked kitchen. The coffee bar is second to none.Bedrooms are large and comfortable. No one used the third bedroom. Large yard for the dog. Nice area to walk. Hearing the church bells during the day was an added bonus. Will be back in the future.Sidenote:My son in law left some clothes in the drawers in the second floor bedroom. Please contact me if they are still there.

The Carriage was a lovely spot for us, coming to it after an exciting family wedding in Louisville and headed for a bunch of stops along the bourbon trail. It was comfortable, clean, and nicely decorated. The host contacts were very responsive to our questions about the thermostat. We had everything we needed at the Carriage (except napkins). Frankfort is interesting but we did find out that it is not a great food town. We had 4 foodies with us and couldn't find a restaurant to recommend. Our dinner nights were Sunday and Monday and lots of places were closed. We did ask a policeman we passed on the street and at his suggestion we went to the Burger place, which had good burgers, but that's about it. Super nice people, but there was zero atmosphere.

House had plenty of room but needs a deep cleaning and lightbulbs.The air conditioning units needed filters cleaned, oven was dirty, dead flies and bugs in corners and window sills, bed linens and pillows were musty, laundry detergent dispenser was moldy, windows were very dirty, “fire pit” was broken, floors were dirty, etc.Both bathrooms needed lightbulbs and light fixtures are quite dirty.Check out review of guests who stayed here in September. Review is spot on.When I reached out to owner, she said they would send someone over with lightbulbs. No one showed. When I texted about cleaning, she ghosted me and said she never received my messages. When I texted in the same thread asking about departure requirements, she responded immediately. Though we liked the area, we would not recommend this VRBO.Also, don’t go to Bourbon on Main. Food and service are horrible.If you happen to go to Louisville, you absolutely have to go to Guacamole Modern Mexican restaurant! Ut is fantastic! Food and service were outstanding!!When I reached

We had high hopes for Carriage on Petticoat. The listing sounded wonderful and the property was rated highly. However, when we arrived, it was immediately obvious that the house needed a deep cleaning. Rugs were soiled and worn. The stair runners were gray with obvious footprints. The bathmats in both bathrooms were filthy and needed to be washed before our use. The windows appeared to not have been washed all season and when we cleaned a couple on the first floor, our paper towel came up black. Lightbulbs were out in both bathrooms. The bedcoverings were soiled from previous guests. Overall, these issues cast a negative tone upon our whole trip. To further frustrate us, when we contacted the host and management company after the trip, we received limited and poor communication. We sent pictures of the condition of the house. Initially, both sounded concerned about the conditions we showed and described to them. However, that communication became spotty and eventually both simply ghosted us. We didn't so much as receive a promise that they would make sure to correct the problems for future guests. We hesitated leaving such a negative review, but we want people who are considering Carriage on Petticoat in the future to be wary and seriously look for another option if they want a property that is well maintained and clean.

Petticoat is a beautiful historic home. It's been updated but they did a wonderful job of keeping the home's original charm. I love all of the personal touches. The backyard is amazing and we spent most of our time there relaxing and hanging out. It's super close to Buffalo Trace and the cute shops in town. Thanks for a wonderful time!
