This was the perfect place for our family reunion. We had 35 people and it accommodated all of us very easily. We were very pleased with the kitchen that had all the cookware that we needed to prep meals for such a large group. Kids loved the large spaces to play in and there was room for adults to get away and talk. Would happily stay here again!

Our family of nearly 40 has a wonderful time here from July 13-17, 2025. We especially loved the huge main room where we had our gatherings and even played lawn games. Plenty of space and so close to all the activities in town. The pool and ping pong tables could use updating. But other than that, this was an amazing experience. It's definitely on our list to do again.

Decent Stay

The property is in a great quiet location and it is a beautiful large home. The only downsides are, we felt there could be upgrades to a few of the things in the home and they weren’t exactly what we were expecting for the price that was paid. Along with the cleanliness. A cleaning fee was paid but there were quite a few areas that seemed to be missed in the cleaning process in multiple rooms and bathrooms, which was disappointing. I would suggest this home for any large groups.

We enjoyed staying at the Frandsen lodge for the second time. It works so well for us. Our only minor issue this year was that the beds in the two kids rooms had been changed from what is on the website and we had to make some adjustments to our plans.

Beautiful Location

We enjoyed our stay with the beautiful panoramic views and quiet, private neighborhood. There was more than enough adequate space for visiting and sleeping for our large group. (The two stoves were a little touchy and not super reliable so be aware and watch for the touchiness or your food won't cook properly). The children loved the slide on the back of the property. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

We loved the spaciousness of the whole house. The kitchen was so well organized (labeled) and supplied. If we needed it, it was there. The number of bedrooms and baths was amazing. Sitting up on a hill, the view is beautiful. Our family loved it and said they’d like to go back there again.

Family Reunion fun

There was plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen was well stocked. We were able to connect to the TV downstairs to show family videos from our phones. Some of the bedding wasn't clean, a sheet and 2 covers. The highchairs were great to use, but it would have been nice if a pack n play was provided.
