Nice place good price. Enjoyed our stay.
brian r. | Jul 2024
I stayed here in July 2024 with my family of 7 (two adults and 5 kids ages 19x2, 17, 8 and 3). The home was well equipped and very comfortable. We loved the elevator to help with getting luggage and groceries from the bottom floor up to the top floor where the kitchen and master are located. The kids thought the elevator was the coolest thing ever to see in a house. The game room was awesome for the teens. They played pool pretty much every night. The swimming pool was lovely and the hot tub was awesome. So many decks on every side of the house/outside of every single door. Tons of places to sit outside on the decks. The kitchen was very well stocked. I was able to find every single thing I needed while cooking. The first floor layout is awesome. Access from the pool patio to a half bath. There is an extra refrigerator in the game room which made for easy access to drinks and popsicles while we were hanging around the pool. Can't say enough great things! We loved it and this home will be one we return to if we visit Frisco again in the future. Thanks for sharing your lovely home!
