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….. GREAT HOME, GREAT Location, VERY clean, bathroom was amazing, great parking, weather was perfect didn’t need heat or A/C, owner gave us a nice wave! Thank you for a memorable stay!

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.

Charming Historic Home in the Heart of Frankenmuth

We had a relaxing stay at this charming historic house in Frankenmuth! The property was clean, thoughtfully maintained, and full of character. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at ease. The house perfectly blends historic charm with modern comforts, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing getaway.One of the best features is its prime location—most of Frankenmuth's iconic attractions, restaurants, and shops are just a short walk away. It was so convenient to stroll to Zehnder's, the Bavarian Inn, and the charming downtown boutiques without worrying about parking.Whether you're sipping coffee on the cozy porch or exploring the nearby sights, this property feels like a true home away from home. We highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for an authentic Frankenmuth experience.

Great experience

We had a great stay! The home was very accommodating for our family of 4 (2 kids under 3 years old). The house is very close to downtown and would have been walkable if it wasn’t too cold and snowy. We got a few inches of snow over night and the owner shoveled the snow on the steps, walkway, and driveway before we were awake! The home is in a safe neighborhood. We will stay here again if we visit Frankenmuth in the future!

Cute little early 1900's home

If you ever wanted to experience living in an early 1900's home this is for you. With a lot of original things the home was built with - windows, doors, door knobs, etc. it was quite a treat. On the downside the floors and doors were a little loud and the windows were frozen on the inside. All in all, I really liked it. It was great being to walk downtown.

Pros: Beautiful home and neighborhood. The owner responded to every question quickly. The unit was very nice. King bed in one bedroom, queen in the other. Beautiful remodeled bathroom. Living room looks out on the street. There's a nice deck outside of the bathroom. The neighborhood is lovely, walkable if it's warm out! There's a microwave and smaller fridge. Table with 4 chairs. Keurig coffeemaker with pods. Plasticware, plates, and cups provided. There was snow while we were there. The porch, steps, and sidewalk weren't shoveled or salted. My friend slipped and fell on the steps. Be careful if it's winter time❄️❄️❄️

Fall Weeken Getaway

The location is in a great spot. Not too far to walk to town and not in a crowded area. Everything was very good, but not exceptional. It did not feel very private. From the open stairs in the kitchenette one can easily hear the people downstairs. I wouldn’t consider staying for longer than a weekend.

Amazing stay :)

My boyfriend and I stayed for two nights and enjoyed every second of it! The house is obviously old but has been well maintained and upgraded where needed. We were a little skeptical about sleeping apartment style above the family who owns it, but we could barely ever hear them and there was a ton of privacy. Super close to downtown so we were able to walk everywhere and enjoy the fall weather! Thank you for having us, we’d definitely come back to stay again :)
