Quaint, quiet weekend stay

My boyfriend and I stayed here for the weekend for a nearby golf tournament. The cottage was immaculately clean and well kept. The location is perfect right on the waterfront, close to Arcadia Bluffs, and just a short drive from downtown Frankfort, Little River casino, and more. It is also within walking district from local restaurants and a store. It was a fun stay even without the best weather and I would absolutely stay here again!
