Get Away Weekend

Very nice space. It was a little chilly but there were space heaters in the rooms that made a big difference. I absolutely would bring blankets for curling up on the couch. Minuscule kitchenette with a dorm fridge so no freezer and no sink - but it is next to the bathroom so you can get water from there. Stated we had to park off street overnight, back by the garage, the hen walk back to the front to get in- no big deal except the ice on the driveway. We opted to get off the driveway and walk through the snow to the front porch - chilly but less risk of falling. Our 2nd night parking by the garage was unavailable.

Charming Historic Home in the Heart of Frankenmuth

We had a relaxing stay at this charming historic house in Frankenmuth! The property was clean, thoughtfully maintained, and full of character. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at ease. The house perfectly blends historic charm with modern comforts, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing getaway.One of the best features is its prime location—most of Frankenmuth's iconic attractions, restaurants, and shops are just a short walk away. It was so convenient to stroll to Zehnder's, the Bavarian Inn, and the charming downtown boutiques without worrying about parking.Whether you're sipping coffee on the cozy porch or exploring the nearby sights, this property feels like a true home away from home. We highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for an authentic Frankenmuth experience.

Great experience

We had a great stay! The home was very accommodating for our family of 4 (2 kids under 3 years old). The house is very close to downtown and would have been walkable if it wasn’t too cold and snowy. We got a few inches of snow over night and the owner shoveled the snow on the steps, walkway, and driveway before we were awake! The home is in a safe neighborhood. We will stay here again if we visit Frankenmuth in the future!

Cute little early 1900's home

If you ever wanted to experience living in an early 1900's home this is for you. With a lot of original things the home was built with - windows, doors, door knobs, etc. it was quite a treat. On the downside the floors and doors were a little loud and the windows were frozen on the inside. All in all, I really liked it. It was great being to walk downtown.

Pros: Beautiful home and neighborhood. The owner responded to every question quickly. The unit was very nice. King bed in one bedroom, queen in the other. Beautiful remodeled bathroom. Living room looks out on the street. There's a nice deck outside of the bathroom. The neighborhood is lovely, walkable if it's warm out! There's a microwave and smaller fridge. Table with 4 chairs. Keurig coffeemaker with pods. Plasticware, plates, and cups provided. There was snow while we were there. The porch, steps, and sidewalk weren't shoveled or salted. My friend slipped and fell on the steps. Be careful if it's winter time❄️❄️❄️

Fall Weeken Getaway

The location is in a great spot. Not too far to walk to town and not in a crowded area. Everything was very good, but not exceptional. It did not feel very private. From the open stairs in the kitchenette one can easily hear the people downstairs. I wouldn’t consider staying for longer than a weekend.

Amazing stay :)

My boyfriend and I stayed for two nights and enjoyed every second of it! The house is obviously old but has been well maintained and upgraded where needed. We were a little skeptical about sleeping apartment style above the family who owns it, but we could barely ever hear them and there was a ton of privacy. Super close to downtown so we were able to walk everywhere and enjoy the fall weather! Thank you for having us, we’d definitely come back to stay again :)

Everything was great what a beautiful place. Our dog however couldn’t relax. There’s a yard but not fenced in so we had to but him on a lead. He didn’t like it. I would stay there again if it’s just my husband and I but not with a golden retriever

Girls Trip

It was a nice place. We would have preferred to have a sink in the kitchenette but, it was a short stay. We couldn’t get the tv in the living room to connect to WI Fi but we watched the one in the bedroom and it worked good. Also I would suggest a blind or non sheer curtain on the bathroom door. It overall it was great. Make sure you realize it was a second floor rental. I didn’t see that but we did good. That was on me.
