    This property was a highlight of our weekend for everyone. The location is ideal for a stay in Frankenmuth. The house is the perfect mix of gorgeous original features and modern conveniences. It is beautifully decorated. We appreciated the kitchen being stocked with everything necessary for preparing and serving meals. Everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully done. Thank you!

    We had so much fun at the house. The location is perfect. There is a lot of space for a big group. The host has thought of everything. All of the little touches make it feel like home. The beds are very comfortable and we all loved having fans in every room! The outdoor area was beautiful, even in the chilly weather. The guys loved playing pool, and the ladies really appreciated all of the available mirrors to get ready for 80s fest. We will definitely be staying here again! Highly recommend this beautiful charming home.

    The home is everything you see in the listing and more. It’s clear the host has gone to great lengths to ensure guests have everything they need and are comfortable for their stay. We had a large group and all felt like we had plenty of room to enjoy each other, cook, and eat while still having our own space to relax.

    The entire home was clean and comfortable. There was a beautiful note and wine/snacks to welcome us. The kitchen had everything we needed. The house and yard were decorated with such wonderful taste that pre-wedding pictures were taken at the residence. Not to mention that is was within a comfortable walking distance to every place in downtown Frankenmuth. Would highly recommended!!

    As we were there for Summerfest we really didn’t use most of the kitchen. However it was sufficiently stocked with modern appliances and all the bells and whistles. The rest of the house really nice and clean with no complaints whatsoever. Would recommend this location and should the occasion come up to book it again would do so without hesitation.

    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.

    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.

    My husband and I have many family and friends who stood in our wedding party that live 6 hours away. We wanted to spend our wedding weekend soaking up as much time as possible with these important people. The Brownstone Haus made that possible. The Haus was filled with love, laughter, and many memories were made. The Brownstone accommodated all of us and could not have been a more perfect space for all of us to to enjoy each other's company. It served as a fantastic getting ready space for the morning of the wedding with the bride tribe. The groomsmen came to the house later and captured some amazing photos with the pool table and in the Carriage House. I highly recommend booking this house for any reason. It's a beautiful space that can easily meet the needs of both small and large groups of people any time of year.
