Great place to stay! Host did not respond to messages and when you called the front desk, it took forever to get through and then they didn’t have quick answers. Other than that, the stay was amazing!
Very nice, only problem there wasn’t a can opener for opening our cans of beans and didn’t seem like the bedrooms downstairs didn’t cool down very well but there were fans so it was tolerable. We called maintenance for an electrical issue, ( possible circuit breaker issue but was fixed by next morning). Very responsive
Wow! Definitely worth staying here. I have been going to the Bavariann Inn for over 10 years and decided to try the house out for a new experience. House was huge and the bedrooms are tucked away upstairs and downstairs so everyone has Toms of space. 2 big living rooms & plenty of places to spread out. We had a party of 4 but I definitely see how 16 people could have fit in here
Would recommend this place.
Perfect location and everything was as described and very clean.

Second time at the house for our family of 15. The space is ideal for us (sleeping/cooking/eating/game playing) and we love that it’s close to the water park. One suggestion to make it better would be to have more kitchen towels, paper towel, and kitchen counter spray. It was hard to clean up without essentials.
Great place for a family to stay and enjoy all that frankenmuth has to offer. Very private yet close to everything. Will only stay here going forwards when we visit Frankenmuth.
Beautiful accommodations, clean and huge. Probably comfortably sleeps 14 adults, more if some are children. A great view of the fireworks during snowfest was a bonus!
This is our second year staying here for our girls weekend trip and as always it was perfect! Easy to check in, so clean and the hosts are easy to get ahold of if we ever need anything. We have already booked our next years trip!
We had a wonderful family vacation in Frankenmuth. This property was perfect for our group of 12. Great location within walking distance to plenty of restaurants and shops. Home was very clean and beds very comfortable.
We came with our children and grandchildren to go to the waterpark. This house was perfect instead of individual hotel rooms. It gave us the areas we needed to visit together when we were not at the waterpark.
