Our family-oriented, dog-friendly, unique retreat is a 4br/2ba, newly designed, home sitting on the outskirts of downtown Frankenmuth! We are located 1 mi from all the restaurants, shops and events downtown Frankenmuth has to offer! We offer a 6-person hot tub, 6 kayaks, 2 paddle boards, 6 bikes, firepit, wrap-around balcony, full indoor amenities, breakfast supplies, privacy fence and patio furniture! This home is a destination to spend your hard-earned vacation time with your friends and family. The space: \*If you are a couple (2 people), please message me with an inquiry for a rate discount\* This home was designed by our family in 2023 with specific intent to introduce guests to our family adventures! All of the bedrooms are lightly themed to reflect some of our favorite places: El Dorado, Gatlinburg, Marquette and San Diego. Our common areas in the house provide games, art supplies, an extensive collection of records complete with first floor speakers (that connects to your phone), plenty of relaxing room and Smart TV's (for the rainy day). But....in true adventure fashion, a majority of the fun can be had outdoors! Since we are positioned 1 mi North of the expansive Cass River, we want you to take advantage of that with our kayaks and paddle boards....so bring truck(s) and straps. After a long day of watersports, enjoy our 6 person hot tub open all year! Not a water person? We provide 6 bicycles to enjoy the BEAUTIFUL nationally-recognized trails and oh ya....not to mention the mere 5 minutes bike trip to downtown Frankenmuth! We sponsor Lexington Coffee Company, in addition to multiple other Michigan sponsors for breakfast supplies. Enjoy mornings with our coffee bar, and nights with our Bartender's cocktail kit. Additionally, we are dog-friendly because what adventure is truly complete without having your four-legged friend attempt to accompany you on a kayak? \*Dogs are not allowed in The Marquette Room or the Gatlinburg Room...and those are our only restrictions! We want to be allergy-conscious. Simply put: We made this place for your group to enjoy time together in a truly, "get away from it all," fashion. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Free breakfast available - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 6 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board - Safe ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Bicycles - Golf - Kayak - Water sports equipment ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Bicycles - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Unit size: 2,142 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/29000000/28840000/28839900/28839885/3dcde0c5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Frankenmuth Harmonie Haus Frankenmuth - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 147 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-19&endDate=2025-10-20&selected=28839885&PinnedHotelID=28839885&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/72000000/71470000/71466400/71466392/59b0e0c8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Flint Haus - Frankenmuth Vacation Homes Frankenmuth - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 90 reviews CA $449 CA $921 total includes taxes & fees Oct 6 - Oct 7 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-06&endDate=2025-10-07&selected=71466392&PinnedHotelID=71466392&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/31000000/30790000/30790000/30789942/50741a51.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 1950's Themed Historic Home In Downtown Frankenmuth Heart.

This house is the BEST vacation house we've ever stayed in (we travel a lot as a team)!! When you stay in a rental/vacation home everything can feel sterile and cold, not this place. It was warm and inviting with every detail. The coffee, the windows open, furniture, games and books, it was truly spectacular. I could have stayed in the rental all day and skipped my games. The backyard is beautiful and all the yard games were a hit with the kids. Mackenzie was a fantastic host and we truly enjoyed our little bit of home in Frankenmuth. ##### Amanda Z.

It has so many amenities I've never seen at a vacation house all the breakfast food, selection of teas, coffee, supply room with extra cleaning supplies, the dog mailbox, wood you could buy for the campfire, all the yard games, hot tub, bikes, and kayaks. The owner was very friendly, she was quick to response to any messages, and even offer to let us check in early. We enjoyed our evenings playing yard games, hanging in the hot tub, and I enjoyed taking evening bike rides. Very spacious house, we were all able to sit together at the dining room table for homecooked meals, we could all fit comfortable in the living room to play games or watch movies, and we didn't have to fight over bathrooms! Over all we all had a great time, loved the town, and would loved to go back someday. ##### HiddenAway15 Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daphne S. Jun 8, 2025 ##### Daphne S.

We enjoyed our time in the bustle of Frankenmuth and then we travelled just around the corner for some peaceful time at our rental. It was clean and comfortable, and I love that our pup is welcome! ##### Mary G.
