Beautiful Property perfect for BIG Families
Frankfort property was absolutely perfect for a big family and kids. We enjoyed all the amenities and property size this cabin had to Offer. The kitchen was supplied with alll the supplies we needed to cook. Including, plates, cups, utensils, basic spices and cookware. We loved the game room & Movie room. ALL the rooms were perfect and great size bathrooms as well. We wished there would've been more snow, but oh well. It's a gated property so it's perfect for the kids to roam around. Unfortunately the BBQ area did not work for us. So we couldn't cook our burgers outside. There were plenty of blankets available if needed. We didn't use the spa, but that's ok. Overall it was a great cabin. and we had no issues during our stay. the caretaker Fernando was attentive whenever we called. They showed us the property when we arrived and they allowed early check-in. They allowed a late check out which was great. We left by 12pm. and late check out was 1pm. It was a great experience! Highly recommend for big families!

Excellent Property - Family Perfect
The property was beautiful and exceeded the photos. Perfect location and close to everything. We only wish we knew there was no air conditioning in the house prior to booking. However we understand the cool mountain air makes up for it in the evenings. We purchased fans only later to realize there were fans already in the home to use.

Spectacular Weekend
We had a SPECTACULAR time at this AMAZING stay. So much to do and so many areas to relax. Quiet, comfy, and spacious. Room to roam around and we never needed to leave for entertainment. All my guest felt at home and had their own room. The kitchen was stocked with the essentials and functional. We made pizza's on the large expansive counter and baked them in the pizza oven, DELISH! The living room had a full sectional with all recliners, OMG! So comfortable. A smart tv in both the living room and entertainment room. Kids could watch what they wanted and the adults could watch what we wanted. Loved it!! Foos-ball and pool table was a hit. The full size sand volleyball court was the BEST!! We played morning until night, our own weekend family tournament! Then went to the sauna and jacuzzi to help our out of shape bodies. It was perfect!!! So much more that I didn't even mention. We will be back!!! Recommended this stay to all my freinds and colleagues. Can't wait to stay again!!!

beautiful space, challenging communication
This cabin was a fantastic spot for our team retreat! The space was perfect for our team of 8, and the setting was gorgeous. We loved the large gathering room downstairs and lots of room outside for outdoor activities. Our only challenges were that the check in/check out were listed inaccurately online, and we had planned our travels around it. I also found that when I sent a message for more info, I was sometimes getting back a copy and paste from the listing, versus actual answers to my questions. I worried at times that this was not a real listing, but luckily it was!

Dream Cabin! Great for large families!
The property had everything you needed. Plenty of room for everyone to sleep. It was clean and in excellent condition. The amenities are ridiculous! Volleyball court, basketball court, horse shoes pit, spa, sauna, foosball table, pool table the list goes on and on. One of our favorite things was access out of the backyard and into the wilderness where there are walking paths and a new hiking trail called maple hill hiking trail. It was beautiful! We would definitely stay here again!
