This home was designed by our family in 2024 with specific intent to take you back through the years of the Victorian Era, Roaring Twenties, the 60's, all the way to Y2K with our lightly-themed rooms! (accommodates 19 people) Our common areas exemplify trends of the 1920's, while keeping up with modern times. These areas provide your party with games, art supplies, books, toys, an extensive collection of records complete with first floor speakers, plenty of relaxing room and Smart TV's (for the rainy days). Breakfast supplies include fresh baked bread, half gallon milk, h/h, 1 dozen eggs, sausage, oatmeal, pancake mix, coffee/tea/cocoa, sugar/spices, etc. Enjoy mornings with our coffee bar, and nights with our Bartender's cocktail kit located in our "Uncorked Pine" Speakeasy! The speakeasy is complete with kitchenette, movie room, wii, indoor games, ping-pong, darts, foosball, and other hidden gems for your party to enjoy! Let's go outside: We provide bicycles to enjoy the BEAUTIFUL nationally-recognized trails that connect Vassar to Frankenmuth and oh ya....not to mention the mere 1 minute bike trip to all of the conveniences of downtown Vassar \-OR- Hop on over to German-town Frankenmuth and enjoy diverse restaurants, outdoor/indoor activities for kids and adults, festivals, (dog) parks, splash pads, etc. After a long day of biking, relax in our private 8-person hot tub or out by the firepit in the back yard. Speaking about dogs--we are dog-friendly because what vacation is truly complete without having your WHOLE family with you? \*Dog Rules!\* \*Dogs are not allowed in The Y2K Room or The 60's Room...We want to be allergy-conscious. \*Dogs must be kept in the yard: we have a couple long yard leads to help you manage this, otherwise, leashes are a must! \*Please clean up poop, bags are provided! \*Those are our only restrictions! 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 - Electric car charging station on site - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - Smart TV - Stereo - Video games - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 6 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 1 accessible parking space - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board - Safe ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Bicycles - Foosball table - Table tennis ### 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 - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - At least 80% of food locally-sourced - Bicycles - Electric car charging station - Housekeeping (on request) - Locally-owned and organized tours and activities - Recycling ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/75000000/74210000/74204800/74204757/3e964700.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The ResidenZ at Bavarian Inn - Historic Estate located in downtown Frankenmuth Frankenmuth - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 73 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-29&endDate=2025-10-30&selected=74204757&PinnedHotelID=74204757&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/49000000/48900000/48890800/48890771/0a7d042b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious House in Frankenmuth Frankenmuth - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 48 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-29&endDate=2025-10-30&selected=48890771&PinnedHotelID=48890771&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 91 reviews CA $451 CA $926 total includes taxes & fees Oct 20 - Oct 21 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-20&endDate=2025-10-21&selected=71466392&PinnedHotelID=71466392&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96770000/96768400/96768343/5e4f2e72.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Frankenmuth XMAS Wonderland! | HotTub OPEN| PetsOK Birch Run - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.2 Wonderful 23 reviews CA $295 CA $658 total includes taxes & fees Oct 16 - Oct 17 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-16&endDate=2025-10-17&selected=96768343&PinnedHotelID=96768343&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96930000/96925300/96925242/4920c329.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Best of Both Worlds.....Cozy House Close to Downtown with country charm....
