Amazing!
This property is thoughtful and adorable. Perfect for two couples. Beds were quite comfortable. Very clean. Tastefully decorated. We had a problem with the internet that lasted mere minutes due the manager’s quick response time. Would absolutely stay again!

The perfect place for us
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The cottage had everything we needed, and it was the perfect home base for all we wanted to do. Some big pluses were the bikes, the close proximity to downtown Frankfort, and the deck off the back. Thank you!

We loved everything about this house! It was clean and cozy and decorated beautifully. The extras and finishing touches made our stay most enjoyable. The record player, beach chairs and bikes. Walking distance to town, deer in the backyard and the comfy furniture on the patio! We would definitely stay here again!

Enjoyed this comfortable home. Kitchen is well equipped. Linens are lovely. Our best experiences were enjoying the deck and building a bonfire. My suggestion is for grab bars in the shower.

The cottage was great for everything our family needed. Our hosts were kind, responsive, and communicative. The space was super clean and had good communal spaces. Outdoor space was great too. The only addition I'd make would be a patio table near the house for eating outdoors.
