Excellent pace to stay in Frank Joseph. Modern and clean, great amenities. A home away from home. Great long veranda to take in the awesome view of the mountains. Stargazing was spectacular.

Lovely and clean unit, handy to the township. Good clear communication from host. Would be helpful if one of the photos or the description revealed that this cottage is only 20 metres from the main road. I had expected it to be more secluded and quieter.
