Beauty, amenities, convenience

My husband and I, our two children and their spouses, and our four grandchildren (12, 11, 8, 3) fit very comfortably into this charming historic home. We were there for 2 nights over spring break. We especially enjoyed the huge dining room table that provided plenty of room for the family to play games and do activities. Also, it is very convenient - very walkable - to downtown and the Waterpark we took the children to, and to Bronners Christmas World. The owners were very responsive and they were the first to notify I that we left some items - and then to send them to us!! We will definitely stay there again on a future visit to Frankenmuth.

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.
