Perfect place for a summer getaway.

We were close enough to walk to many places. We loved the games/ books that the house had for us to use.

Frankfort family reunion

We met up with family in Frankfort for our annual reunion. This home was only about a mile from the beach and where most everyone else stays. We loved that the house had everything you could possibly think of… from games to music to beach necessities. We appreciated the amenities very much.

Beautiful Home, Beautiful Setting

This beautiful ranch home is situated on a good sized lot featuring many mature trees. We saw birds at the feeders, including hummingbirds, and a family of deer grazing on the front lawn. The rear deck was well furnished and we had a nice view of the trees. This was the perfect spot for a cuppa in the morning or afternoon. Everything we needed was provided. There were many places to sit or lounge. We enjoyed the albums/record player, books and board games. In the kitchen, we could use either a standard drip multi-cup coffee maker or a single-cup Keurig machine, and a selection of coffees and teas was available in the adjacent cupboard and drawer. The cupboards above the fridge are devoted to gluten-free items. We found the beds comfortable. Many pillows and blankets were available. And the linen closet was well stocked with towels. The sound machines helped us fall asleep. The host was very responsive and helpful. Really, all we had to do was stock the fridge and enjoy ourselves!
