Ein schönes Haus in unmittelbarer Nähe des Sees und nicht weit vom wunderschönen Strand von Elberta. Besonders gefallen hat uns, dass es auch extra Handtücher und Sonnenschirme gab für den Strand. Leider war das Haus nicht sauber. Der Fußboden, der Esstisch, der Kühlschrank, die Möbel auf der Terrasse - das müsste alles mal wieder gereinigt werden.

We really enjoyed our stay. This property is located a short drive to several restaurants, parks for the kids, and beach access points. Downtown Frankfort is also close. Self check in made it easy to access. Host communicated timely. Located on a quiet side street so our kids could ride bikes or scooters. Would stay here again
