Frankfort, Kentucky's capital city, nestled along the Kentucky River, offers visitors access to bourbon heritage, political history, and authentic Kentucky culture. As the seat of state government and gateway to Kentucky's bourbon trail, Frankfort attracts government visitors, bourbon enthusiasts, and tourists exploring Kentucky's rich cultural heritage. The city's historic distilleries, scenic river setting, and proximity to both Louisville and Lexington create opportunities for hosts serving diverse visitor demographics interested in politics, bourbon, and Kentucky tradition.
Frankfort's short-term rental market benefits from year-round stability as the state capital, with moderate seasonal peaks during spring and summer when bourbon tourism and outdoor activities are most popular. Fall maintains steady occupancy from government business and foliage tourism, while winter sees the lowest but consistent demand due to legislative sessions and government activities. The market balances government, bourbon tourism, and outdoor recreation creating more stability than purely seasonal markets.
Frankfort requires annual registration of STR properties with the Planning Department by May 1, along with a business license and a $250 per‑unit regulatory fee; hosts must also pass an inspection, provide evacuation and parking plans, and may risk revocation for repeated nuisance violations.
