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.
