OK if you can get past the front door.
Our visit was a late June weekend. The house, which was one part of a duplex, was well laid out for our family of 11, updated, and nicely equipped. Once cleaned, the propane gas fire pit was a nice gathering place. The advertised amenities were not available due to Covid. The location though, did afford us playgrounds nearby and the lake shore beach within walking distance for 5-10 year old children. When we arrived we found the duplex looking abandoned. Leaves were stacked up to the front door and throughout the property. The swing that was so nicely pictured on the ad was encased with overgrown grass, weeds, and bird droppings. We had to double check the house number then had to call the owner to make sure we were at the right address when the code didn’t work. Once inside we found the drapes were closed and the house was dark. The first window we saw was broken! Our hearts sunk. When our son arrive he called the owner at our request to communicate our issues with the outdoor areas. Since he is a land lord himself we felt he may be able to better communicate with the owner. The owner was rude, confrontational, and more concerned with his rating than our comfort and experience. The owner even suggested we leave, likely to avoid our expressing our initial reactions to him and our weekend. When our son suggested that someone should come out to properly prepare the area for renters he was told there is a blower in the garage and we had to take care of it ourselves. We even had to clean up a filthy grille with broken and rusty tools sitting at the entry before we could use it. In the process, we found the rear deck covered with rotting leaves and a railing that was loose and nearly falling off creating an very unsafe place for anyone, especially children. Nonetheless we had a good time. Frisco is a nice place to visit. Biking trails and rentals were readily accessible. We did get a follow up text from the owner saying that he wanted to talk to us right away but, that was several days ago. Wonder what he wanted?
