Everything was great at this property. It was clean, it had easy access to area attractions, the property manager was very friendly and responsive. I was not a fan of the 300 refundable deposit for incidentals though. The igniter on the grill was broken and we had to use a lighter to light it, and the overall lighting in the house wasn't great.But overall, it was a great property and we would totally recommend!Thank you!

Sand and Snow experience

Place was adequate but needs upgrading. Kitchen appliances and amenities very good but needs a light above the sink and dishwasher Trundle bed not suitable for adults. Front screen door needs attention.

I chose this home to attend my Aunt's 90th Birthday Bash in downtown Frankfort because it was a five minute drive. Pet friendly. Host/Manager managing the property was quick in responding back to any queries/questions we had. Would stay again given the chance.

Lovely getaway

This space was perfect for our family of teenagers and dog. Enough space for everyone in a quiet neighborhood, very very clean, and a seamless check-in and check-out process. Our host made us feel welcome and the space was well appointed with sheets and towels. Definitely would stay here again.

Very convenient location for the Ironman triathlon. Property was clean and easy to find. Overall the property worked out well. Things to improve: lighting makes it dark and the shower didn’t drain well so we took showers in standing water. Check-in was easy.
