We had a fantastic experience with this rental. The owner was very responsive and helpful. The house is in outstanding condition. We hosted a family reunion for 18 people right before Christmas. There were plenty of beds and bathrooms for everyone. We cooked breakfast and dinner together. The gourmet kitchen was wonderful and well appointed. Everybody hung out together in the game room playing cards and pool at night after skiing. It was nice to have so much room. We only like to stay at luxurious properties and this house fit the bill. I definitely recommend this property!

We met at your Frisco home for our 2011 Thanksgiving holiday. Our party consisted of 14 adults and 4 children and we found that the house had ample space for all of us to be together or hide-away if need be (Not that anyone would need that during a family vacation). Even though there were many fantastic restaurants within walking distance, we decided to make our own Thanksgiving meal. At any time during the day, there were 3-4 cooks in the kitchen and we were never cramped. The kitchen in the upstairs apartment came in handy too. Near the house, we found many ways to enjoy the early snow. We went for a scenic sleigh ride in the Nature Center, skied in Loveland, and twirled and bounced down a tubing hill. We appreciated the ski racks and sled storage, but most especially the heaters that dried our boots and made them toasty warm before we headed back out doors. All in all, we now have a week of fun family memories to cherish for the rest of our lives. We would highly recommend this beautiful home and plan to return SOON.

Wonderful Home - Much Better Than Listing Hints At

We just returned home from an incredible time at Mike's home in Frisco. The home is exactly what it is billed as and more! Radient floor heating on the first level was amazing! We all used the steam shower and the house seems to have an endless supply of hot water. We had 16 adults and one child and all fit in the house well without being on top of each other. The gourmet kitchen was a highlight for me and a joy to cook in and the helpers liked that there were two dishwashers for fast clean-up. We ran into an issue with the hot tub not being hot when we arrived and Mike took care of the issue immediately and the hot tub company was there first thing in the morning. After the "fix" (the breaker was tripped) Mike stopped by to ensure it was all in working order. I was very impressed wih his attentiveness as a landlord and would (and have) recommend this home to anyone who appreciates a well appointed home in a great location in town. Frisco has that "old ski town" feel that Vail and some of the other mtn resorts are lacking. Real people and good food and fun! Thanks to Mike for an amazing weekend and we will be staying there again!

Amazing Retreat Home!!

Our community group made up of seven couples (and close friends) stayed at this magnificent home for an inspirational and enlightening weekend retreat. The home was the perfect environment, size and configuration for our group and we all felt very blessed to have had the opportunity to enjoy this beautifully appointed home together. Everything is updated with fine furniture, extremely comfortable beds and gourmet kitchen with top of the line appliances, two sinks and two dishwashers (which we were VERY thankful for as we cooked all of our meals in the home). The double ovens didn’t work most of the weekend, but we were told the day prior to our arrival that a part had to be ordered. Somehow we miraculously managed to get the convection part of the double oven to work on Friday night to bake our lasagna, but after that the ovens stopped working. However a bit inconvenient, we were very thankful for the convection microwave oven and the oven in the 7th bedroom mother-in-law suite where we prepared the rest of our meals. Mike, the owner was wonderful to work with. He met us at the home after we arrived and shared with us the ins-and-outs of the home and stayed to be sure the TV and surround sound worked in the game room. The home was SO perfect for our group as people were able to retreat to different spaces throughout the home for quiet time, take a walk around town or the lake or gather in one of the large spaces to fellowship with each other. We were all able to eat together at the dining table and play games or assemble together without feeling cramped. We can’t say enough great things about this beautiful home – it's a perfect get-away whether you’re looking for a place to enjoy private quiet times while with a group, you’re looking for a home that is close to a great number of ski areas; is only two blocks from the main street of Frisco (which is a great little mountain town); just a short walk from Dillon Lake; or if you’re just planning to spend time at the home enjoying the game room, relax in the hot tub or simply chill out in the beautiful surroundings of this gorgeously decorated home. We will definitely be back next year – it was enjoyed by all of us! Thank you, Mike for sharing your stunning home with our group.

Owner response:So sorry about the ovens, made by Thermador and supposed to be the BEST when you spend $6,000!! Glad the extra oven was able to meet your needs.....I always take care of all problems as quickly as possible and in this instance the parts simply were not in stock locally. We look forward to seeing your group again!

Spacious, well appointed property - great for large families/reunions

My family lives in Colorado and has rented many properties in the Summit County area, and this is one of the best ones we have rented. We had a total of nine guest and had more than enough space for everyone with the six bedroom configuration (w/out the addition). This was our first time to stay overnight in Frisco and we were very happy with the location. Mike, the owner, was very kind to point out the nearest park for our kids and that tennis courts are basically next door to the house. He was also very flexible with our schedule for check-in/check-out (schedule permitting). My wife probably put it best by saying that she felt very comfortable at this location because she just felt like we were staying at someone's house, and one that you could tell was well cared for, as opposed to a hotel or other less kept up rental. I do want to point out that there are many nice things in the house, so if you are the type to not treat things well, then this probably isn't the place for you. We did have to monitor our kids (ages 3-7) to make sure they didn't mess anything up. The biggest vote of confidence comes from the out of towners that joined us on this trip, saying that they'd love to come back to this place next year.

Family reunion

Date of Stay: 07/25/11 Review Submitted: 08/12/11

We had a family reunion consisting of 12 adults and 8 children ranging from 2 months to 13 years. It was like this house was designed for us. The family with a 2 year old and 2 month old were perfect for the apartment. The family with 4 children and were perfect for the bedroom and bunk bedroom downstairs. The other family of 4 fit nicely in the master suite. When we first went into the kitchen we couldn't figure out why there were 2 dishwashers and 4 waste baskets in two drawers. We soon found out. The kitchen was fantastic. The oven was a little tempermental but we finally got it to work. We walked to town and to the park nearby several times. The location is very central to all of Summit County. We would gladly go there again.

We had our family reunion at this rental and had such a wonderful time! The accommodations and location were perfect. Big enough for everyone to spread out with rec room, living room, huge kitchen, dining room and patio outside. The decor was beautiful and very updated. All new appliances and clean! I would highly recommend this rental and am sure to return in the future! Thanks Mike for everything!

Thirteen women have just returned from an unbelievable vacation in Frisco after staying in this wonderful home. When we arrived, we were thrilled because the pictures don't do it justice--the place is so well furnished, nicely decorated and absolutely enormous! We never felt crowded and appreciated the size of the kitchen. Mike was accommodating and helpful showing us around the property on our first day and answered our questions. The place was spotless and everything was in order. We hope to return next year.
