Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Thomas W. 30 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Wedding Weekend in Frankfort We came up here for a wedding. This house is very secluded and rural but only a 7 minute drive to Frankfort. The interior of the house is very dated; the interior finishes and appliances have not been updated in 30 years. That said, it was very clean and orderly. ##### Thomas W.
