This home is in a great location, easy to walk downtown to everything. We found the space to be very comfortable and well stocked. Plenty of parking right next to the house. The summer kitchen area is great for game nights. I was happy to see fans available in the upstairs bedrooms. This really helped when it felt a little warm up there. Overall, this is a great home for a larger group or family. I wouldn’t hesitate to book here again.Of note: Vickie is really great to work with and quick to respond if needed. She made our stay outstanding!

Frankenmuth Fun

House was older, but charming. Very clean and well kept. Also great location to walk to downtown Frankenmuth which was a plus during Winterfest when driving is difficult. Only complaint might be lots of traffic even at night so it’s not real quiet to sleep. Would suggest curtains in upstairs bedrooms to help block out city lights. The blinds on the windows were not enough.

Adorable retro retreat

I stayed at this property with my husband, two young kids (ages 3 and 1), parents, and adult brother. Everyone had a wonderful stay and the house couldn’t have been cuter! It felt like stepping into a blast from the past with modern touches. The house was impeccably clean - my husband even commented that the coffee maker was clean (something you don’t always find in rentals). We had a minor issue with the summer kitchen TV, and Vickie addressed it very quickly. This was a great house for families of all ages - walkable to everywhere you would want to go in Frankenmuth with a whole lot of charm. We definitely plan to return!
