DESCRIPTION: The home we are offering for exchange is our second home. It is a comfortable 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom house with an office that can also sleep an additional 2 people – total occupancy is 6 persons. (Though the futon in the office is not the most comfortable bed in the world – just warning you!) The size of the house is approximately 1800 square feet, or 550 meters. It’s located in a typical American neighborhood. The yard is adorable, and surrounded with a white picket fence. The wine collection is locked up when we leave (sorry!) but we might be convinced to leave a bottle for your enjoyment! The kitchen is fully equipped with an electric stove, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, garbage disposal. Cable television, washer and dryer, telephone, central heat and air conditioning, and a computer with free internet provided. Kids okay. We do not have pets, but do love animals. . If you’d like to see more pictures of the house, they’re posted here: http://ginnyslc.tripod.com/frankfort_house/ We are an active couple, interested in sightseeing, talking with people from different cultures, scuba diving, snow skiing, wine making (and tasting!), and motorcycling. Ted is a retired computer analyst, and Virginia is a published author. He is an exercise enthusiast, and she adores history and reading. Our children are grown, so we typically travel alone.

And a 20 minute drive from Keeneland Race Track in Lexington, Kentucky. This is the heart of Kentucky horse racing!
