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.

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.

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.

We had an unforgettable Frankfort trip staying at the farmhouse! Our time included walking to the farmer’s market along the walk/bike path across the street, going to nearby hikes and beaches, and soaking up Labor Day weekend with bonfires and grilling. The picklebarn was a fun edition, too! The house is so beautifully thought out, and was an amazing backdrop for our time together. We can’t wait to make it back!!
