We had so much fun at the house. The location is perfect. There is a lot of space for a big group. The host has thought of everything. All of the little touches make it feel like home. The beds are very comfortable and we all loved having fans in every room! The outdoor area was beautiful, even in the chilly weather. The guys loved playing pool, and the ladies really appreciated all of the available mirrors to get ready for 80s fest. We will definitely be staying here again! Highly recommend this beautiful charming home.

We had a large group and all felt like we had plenty of room to enjoy each other, cook, and eat while still having our own space to relax.

The entire home was clean and comfortable. There was a beautiful note and wine/snacks to welcome us. The kitchen had everything we needed. The house and yard were decorated with such wonderful taste that pre-wedding pictures were taken at the residence. Not to mention that is was within a comfortable walking distance to every place in downtown Frankenmuth. Would highly recommended!!

As we were there for Summerfest we really didn’t use most of the kitchen. However it was sufficiently stocked with modern appliances and all the bells and whistles. The rest of the house really nice and clean with no complaints whatsoever. Would recommend this location and should the occasion come up to book it again would do so without hesitation.

Memorial Day Weekend

Our trip was perfect. We were a group of 6, and the sleeping and accommodations were perfect for us (two couples and two singles). Everything was as described in the VRBO listing.Some in our group golfed Sunday and Monday, and the location was unbelievable, we just gathered our clubs and walked across the street to the Fortress. We grilled steaks our first night, and ate in town our other two nights. The house was well appointed for all of our cooking and other needs. The pool table was a nice touch.We were also lucky to have the balloon festival and dog competitions happening, which gave the non golfers much to do during the day, and the entire group enjoyed the balloons each afternoon. The house was a short 5 minute walk to the festivities and the main drag of Frankenmuth (River Place shops, etc.).We were thrilled with the location for the fireworks, which we enjoyed from the front porch.Our host (Sharon) was great - she sent check in/out instructions, and texted with me a bit as I had a couple of questions for her about the property. She responded quickly and helped with our inquiries. We would definitely return for another visit to Frankenmuth. I can’t imagine staying elsewhere.
