This home is wonderful, its nostalgia brings back memories. It is conveniently located and walking distance to so many things. The outside kitchen/pool room is a bonus for the teenagers. We enjoyed the history of the home and Vicki is an exceptional host and very attentive to the guests.

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.

50’s house

The home had plenty of room. We had four adults and two children. The bunk beds needed some type of railing or a thinner mattress. We were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the home. It is very clean, plenty of towels, soap products. We throughly enjoyed our stay.

Truly home away from home

This home was welcoming, clean and awesomely decorated. Everything was there that we needed for 7 adults and a 6 month old. There was even a high chair. The beds were comfortable. The linens were high quality and there were plenty of towels. The kitchen was well stocked and the entire reservation went without a glitch. I would definitely go back and I highly recommend this home. It was perfect for a family getaway in Frankenmuth.

Perfect Location

This property was in the perfect location, short drive to Bronners and short walks to shops and restaurants. The old house reminded my siblings and I of our grandmas house. My dad and his sister, our Aunt, loved it because it also reminded them of the house they grew up in. It even had some of the same furniture they had. Lol. Eight of us stayed in the house, it was plenty of space. Thank you! We would definitely stay again.

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!

Gem

In town for a wedding. Rented to have family together while visiting the Frankenmuth area. From the moment you pulled up to the house and walked inside, you could feel the history. Super cute decor and the historic facts places throughout the house was so fun to read and learn. Tons of room. The water pressure was really good and nice hot water. Everything was clean and the owners thought of everything. She even reached out to me about how to reserve our parking space since there was a huge event in town. Location perfect. Walkable to many places. Close to Bronners. Would stay here again.

Huge hit with the family

We stayed here for a 3-day weekend in December. Everyone loved the historic feel of the house. There was just the right mix of vintage and modern. In the living room, there's a huge smart tv mounted right over an old radio/turntable. We were able to walk just about anywhere in town we wanted to, although we did drive to Bronner's (0.6 miles from the house, but busy roads) . Be advised that this rental is right on the main road through town, so traffic noise, while not a deal-breaker, was quite noticeable. Also, there is a skeleton key that locks all the doors. Keep it in the main bathroom, you'll need it to lock the door since that door doesn't latch tight. The kids loved the bumper pool table, and we used the games provided. Plenty of towels and blankets, beds were extra firm, well-stocked kitchen, central heating kept us cozy. The whole family said they'd love to come back to Frankenmuth and this awesome house!

I can't say enough good things about this home! I rented this for a group weekend with 6 adults, and everyone loved this place! On the top of my list was the cleanliness (I run a cleaning service, so am especially attuned to this), and this house was absolutely spotless. It was also very comfortable and roomy for the 6 of us, with plenty of amenities (I had forgotten shaving cream, and was delighted to find a full can in the bathroom storage); plenty of thick towels, comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen with fun retro appliances, plenty of TV's, and well-maintained grounds. If you're travelling with children, the upstairs game room or the Summer house make a great place for them to have their own space, and the yard is large enough to allow for use of the yard games supplied. The location, right on the main street of Frankenmuth put us within walking distance of almost everything, and the town is charming and picturesque enough to make walking a pleasure. You might find Bronner's Christmas store a bit of a walk, and we chose to drive there, but walked everywhere else. Additionally, the host was great about communicating during our stay. I hope you will enjoy this house as much as we did, and I really look forward to returning!
