Nice stay

My friends and I did a golfing weekend and stayed here. It was a 20 minute drive from Arcadia Bluffs and a short drive into downtown Frankfort. We spent the evenings playing pickleball and having a good time. We enjoyed our stay.

So great!

This was the perfect central point for what we needed and where we were going, and the house was perfect. It had tons of space, a huge kitchen, and we loved the farmhouse feel.
