This is a quaint spot very close to the main downtown area of Frankenmuth. The house and street have a lot of history and the preservation and renovations are beautiful. I have a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids). We were able to stay in the house comfortably. It was a better option for us instead of the waterpark hotel. The beds are very comfortable, the living area was spacious for all of us to hang out in and talk or watch tv, the bathroom was excellent, and the kitchenette had everything you would need (similar to hotel amenities). We had a few questions upon arrival and the owner was very responsive, kind, and pleasant as we met him in person. The “apartment” is the second floor of their house, and if they lived there, we would’ve never known because we didn’t hear anything from downstairs. This would be a great option for a weekend stay to wander around Frankenmuth or for a family with day passes to the water park. We were very satisfied!

Owner was very responsive to our needs. Very helpful! Such a nice area; friendly neighborhood. First time using Vrbo and he assisted us. Upper floor was just what 2 ladies needed. Rental uses front door, street parking in front. It was a comfortable stay. Loved the large bathroom w/great towels, upper deck, front living area, kitchenette for a quick bite, 2 bedrooms (1Q/1K) were spacious. Had refrig, micro, toaster, mugs, Keurig w/pods. Sat on front porch for a treat! Drove 2 blocks to Main St. & parked in ample parking area for strolls/eating/shopping.

Perfect Weekend Getaway in FrankenmuthWe had a fantastic weekend getaway with friends at this charming craftsman-style home in Frankenmuth, MI. The location was ideal—just a short walk to downtown shopping and dining, which made exploring the area super convenient.The house itself was cozy, clean, and well-furnished, with a quaint charm that made us feel right at home. It’s a great fit for two or three close friends or a couple looking for a relaxing stay. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay, which added to the overall positive experience.One small suggestion: it would’ve been nice to have body wash provided, as there was shampoo and conditioner but no body wash. That said, it wasn’t a major issue and didn’t take away from our enjoyment.Overall, the property served our needs perfectly, and I’d definitely recommend it to others looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay in Frankenmuth.

Great location but maintenance issues exist. Toe guards on the steps to house were loose and one came off during our stay. There were loose boards in the kitchen area. If we had stepped on these the boards would have broken. The exhaust fan in the bathroom made a terrible noise and had dead bugs visible when the light was turned on.

Great location. Great value. It's an upstairs unit above a permanent residence. Within walking distance of everything. Hoping the porch was a little cleaner and put together. You don't normally need AC but it's loud if you're trying to sleep. Bathroom was very nice but there's no mirror above the sink.

We moved furniture to block the chance of him falling down them. other than the above…..

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.
