Great location/too warm in bedrooms at night

Everything was great, location, cleanliness, outdoor space, response from owner, except the air conditioning. It is limited to main rooms and main bedroom. The other four bedrooms got pretty uncomfortably warm at night, even with the provided fans.

Fantastic Cool House

Stayed here for Ironman Michigan with 9 other athletes doing the race. The house is big with plenty of parking and the location is wonderful. Just a 1/2 mile walk down to transition. Loved being able to sit out on the deck and watch the sunrise with a cup of coffee the day before the race. House is spacious inside, nicely decorated and in great shape. Had a little bit of an issue with an air conditioner leaking on the stairs but we just turned it off after speaking to the host. Also had some wonky light issues in the entrance and the dining room but it seriously wasn't a big deal. Very pleased with our stay here and would love to stay here again the in the future.

The Castle Is The Best!!

Well first of all, just the house castle design on the outside won over the children before we even arrived. The check-in process was quick and flawless. Everything in the house was immaculate. The beds were extremely comfortable, the bedrooms attractive and all had plenty of charging stations….much better than a hotel! Bathrooms were well cleaned and each had shampoo and conditioner in them. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and many little extras like seasoning and spices you might initially need bf you get to the store. Also, there was a supply cupboard in the laundry room that included batteries, extra toiletries, mosquito spray, etc….again all things you might need bf you get to the store. The porch in the front porch and deck area in the back were great for family gatherings and the oversized yard provided plenty of space for little ones to run around. All in all, The Castle will be the perfect spot for your next family or other group outing!

Great Family Getaway!

We enjoyed the castle so much and had a wonderful time making memories. The home was spacious and clean. Owners were always available if/when we needed them. We already booked for next year! Great location near downtown and the beach.

Best beds ever

Overall this stay met our expectations, but I must note that the bed in the main room was the most comfortable we've ever had at any rental. We would definitely stay again. Thanks so much!

Great location across from the park and tennis courts. House has a good layout for an extended family vacation with one queen bedroom downstairs plus bathroom and the rest upstairs. Bathroom upstairs is dated but lots of towels and fully functional. No issues with hot water. Three bedrooms don’t have a/c so keep bedroom doors open. A/c unit downstairs keeps house comfortable during the day. Nice deck out front that can seat 12 with two tables and plenty of parking. Dining room seats 8 plus two more at small kitchen bar. Living room was perfect for reading and watching Wimbledon. Downtown is a 10-15 min walk or a 5 min bike ride.

Great Stay

Very comfortable stay for 4 adults and 2 kids with extra space to spare. The house seems recently renovated. Everything is accurate on rental description. Road noise can be a bit distracting as it is located right on M-22, but otherwise a great convenient location.

Love the Castle!

Our family has stayed here several times and absolutely love it! Many new updates that enhanced our experience. Location is perfect! The castle home felt like home while we were there. Clean and spacious for our family of 12. We have made many memories over the years and can’t wait to make more! We will be back.

Very clean, great location

We stayed here with our four kids and another family of five. The house was very clean and well appointed, and close to downtown Frankfort and the beach. Everyone had a great time. Plenty of dishes and cookware, lots of towels, and adequate seating. Our only critique is that the Wi-Fi router wasn’t working well for us. We could plug the cord from the modem right into a computer, but none of our devices could stay connected wirelessly. We would definitely stay again.

A great location of a vacation home

The property was nice and accommodating for a group of 4. We enjoyed our stay while we were there on our annual fishing trip. I have a couple of suggestions for the property managers and owners. Clean the grill before new guests arrive Clean the fire pit and have it ready to be used Have the appliance in working order. The dishwasher was broken prior to our stay. And not fixed during our stay. Have the place sprayed for ants. There was a infestation of ants in the kitchen

House was clean and inviting. Excellent space for our family of 8 adults and two young children. Well stocked with all the essentials and everythingwas in working order (except TV but we simply had to get batteries for the remote! ) Comfortable beds and nice big patio!. Air conditioning (room units) worked just fine! Location was fantastic for us with the Catholic church and small playground literally across the street. Great central location for exploring everything we wanted to do! We highly recommend

Very responsive to our requests

Upon arriving at the property, we discovered that the house had not been properly cleaned by the cleaning company and the previous guests had left the grill in an atrocious condition. The owners of the house were extremely apologetic and sent us a bottle of wine as an apology for the cleanliness issue and actually ordered a new grill the day we made them aware of the situation. While I believe the home could use some improvements, our stay overall was pleasant. The park right across the street was a bonus for anyone with a family as well.

Great location, everything we needed!

Home was as described- plenty of sleeping space. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen had all the essentials for convenience. Nice front porch and yard area, and very convenient location. We walked to beach often but it would be a long walk with kids/beach gear- however it would be a very short drive to drop off anything needed also. Would definitely stay again.
