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.

Family Reunion at the Farmhouse

What a fantastic home! Our group was made up of adults and college kids- and we all loved the house and pickle”barn”! And the breeze off the bay made sleeping at night very comfortable!

Four generations enjoyed a great time.

We had a great family trip to Frankfort and were quite set at the Farmhouse. Lots of activities over the week of 4 July for all to enjoy. Adults enjoyed playing pickleball and the kids had fun with foosball and watching a parade among other activities. We enjoyed the house itself and the front porch and rear pergola and grounds. The birds chirping was nice to listen to. Our hosts were quite communicative and helpful.
