NICE!!
This is a cozy little get away place that we enjoyed very much. Loved the kitchenette for morning coffee and late evening suppers of leftovers warmed in the microwave. We also enjoyed afternoon tea there each day of our stay. Evenings were spent in the lovely front room in front of the television watching retro tv programs...a favorite. The bedrooms and bath were very generous as well. The location is close to downtown and very walkable. We would enjoy staying there again. Thanks!!

Softball rainout
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this historic property! We came to participate in a softball tourney that ended up being rained out so we got to enjoy the waterpark instead! This property is a short walk into town, which we did twice during our 2-night stay. Classy decorations and a tub my kids enjoyed bathing in with a super cute deck out back (2nd story). Chris was prompt, professional and kind in his responses to my requests and helped make our stay stress-free! Thank you!

Great short stay location.
Great apartment located just a block off Main Street. Everything was within walking distance. Great place to stay for a weekend. There is a fridge, coffee maker, and microwave available to use. Great restaurants near by. Chris had lots of excellent suggestions. Great little balcony and the bathroom remodel is beautiful.

Cute accommodations and great location
Our stay was great! Very clean, quiet and nicely decorated. The bathroom is beautiful and extremely big. Our bed was very comfortable (we slept on the king bed.) The kitchenette area has a nice mini fridge and in it was a filter water pitcher which was a nice touch. The house is a five minute walk to Frankenmuth Brewery. Neighborhood is quaint. Would definitely stay there again.

This property is one block from Main Street, AND you can park right out front. It was spacious and quiet. Appreciated the bathroom and had fun with the many doors. You should show a picture of the little sitting porch. Just a couple of things. Put a baby gate by the back stairs. Provide tea bags, coffee creamer and sugar free sweetener. Otherwise it was perfect. One

Cute Getaway
Came to Frankenmuth for a long weekend to celebrate my husband's birthday with friends. Chris was a responsive and thoughtful host! The accommodations were just as described and the location was perfect for our needs. When not walking the few short blocks to the "city center" we strolled the neighborhood with out dog, enjoying the sunshine and local flora. Chris also had amazing recommendations in his Guestbook! We ended up eating brunch at Honey B's twice :)

Great location!
Great location for a Frankenmuth get away. We stayed here instead of the splash village hotel as it was much ch more affordable and then bought day passes for splash village. It worked out well. The balcony was nice and cozy for watching the sunrise and set. The neighborhood was cute and made for nice walks with the dog. Beds were comfortable and everything was nice and clean.

Cute Apartment
This was an adorable apartment with a beautiful bathroom. We enjoyed that it was within walking distance of downtown, but in a quiet neighborhood. We would most certainly rent the space again. When booking the rental, I did miss that it was an apartment without a full kitchen, therefore, if you looking for a kitchen space this would not fit your needs. However, there are many wonderful eateries in the area that my husband and I were happy with the small appliances provided.

Great location
We stayed five nights at this cozy apartment on a historic street in Frankenmuth. We could walk to almost anywhere we wanted to go and the area was quiet with ample street parking. The apartment is furnished nicely, has large bedrooms and plenty of closet space. There is a nice sitting room with bay window. A little kitchenette offers a table and chairs, dorm size fridge, microwave and Keurig coffee maker. Bring your own paper plates and cups, plastic ware as needed. The bathroom is large and lovely with a little deck that would be nice in warmer weather. The host provides good, quick, friendly communication. We very much enjoyed our stay!

Friends weekend for shopping and relaxing. Nice and close to the main action. Not a lot of details about the area or the house. Some information was noted. Interesting set up. Depending on what your needs may be- the basics were provided. Advice - bring all toiletries and Kleenex in colder weather. Kitchenette is bare bare bones. Bring anything you think you need for coffee- including spoons- any cutlery and glasses to drink out of. The linens were lovely on the beds. Nice blinds. Quiet area.

We loved our stay in Frankenmuth and this home. We rented the whole place in order to cook our Thanksgiving meal. It was exactly what we needed. Plenty of room for all us us to sleep, fantastic kitchen, absolutely amazing location…..so cozy. It even snowed for us on arrival day but warmed up just enough to make walking the streets comfortable over the next several days. Couldn’t have had a better experience. We cannot wait to go back. Thank you so much for opening your home to us.
