Welcome to our Adventure!

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.

    We celebrated my wife's 60th birthday with family and friends. Very cozy house, beds were very comfortable. The host answered and questions we had in a timely manner. I would highly recommend this place!

    We had a great time! The house was amazingly stocked to travel with a baby - highchairs, playpens, etc. We brought some of our own things but definately could have travelled lighter! The breakfast goods were an awesome, over-the-top touch!

    We enjoyed our stay! Loved the location! Appreciated our breakfast goodies! We liked the fenced back yard but the grass was really long and made it difficult for our small dog to get around.

    We will definitely be back! Main floor bedroom for those who want to limit stairs. Fenced yard for the dog. Very clean! Extra blankets are easy to find. Bonus 3rd bathroom in the basement. The kitchen is so well-stocked! Wonderful pots and pans, spices, condiments, hot cocoa, coffee stations, and even some very yummy breakfast fixings left by the host. I can’t praise this place enough!!

    Christmas in Frankenmuth was a wonderful trip. We were very comfortable and the host provided so many things for all age groups. Breakfast was great! We made pancakes, sausage, eggs & juice. Four year old kids and babies had everything there to keep them entertained! We loved the house!

    Our wedding was on Oct 19th & I'm so glad we chose to stay at the Odd Dog Retreat for two nights with a few friends in our wedding party! With all the festivities going on, we didn't spend much time at the house, but we were very comfortable when we were there. It was plenty spacious for us all. The beds & pillows were like a luxury hotel. The place was stocked with every amenity you can think of. And a few of us did make time to enjoy the awesome hot tub in the backyard! Thank you to Mackenzie for this wonderful stay!

    Everything was wonderful for our weekend and Frankenmuth at the Odd Dog Retreat!! 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!

    Very clean, strong communication and had everything we needed and more. The host has great brand products for you to use, kitchen is well stocked and a delicious breakfast was left for us. Plenty of yard games, fire wood for purchase and clean hot tub. Check out process was simple and did not have to do much. Very close to downtown. Would highly recommend staying here!

    What a great place you have. The beds were really comfy, the nice touch of breakast, and outdoor space was great. It was nice to jump into the hot tub which was super clean, and relax while other people sat in the outdoor space. Also loved the upstairs balcony, nice place to sit and read with a cup of coffee or cocktail! Thank you again

    This beautiful house did a great job accommodating our three generations family vacation. Bedrooms were spacious and beautiful, the kitchen, equipped, fantastically, and the dining room fit all 11 of us. The host was very thorough and welcoming in her directions. We had a great time. Thank you so very much.

    I don't usually write reviews because I am content with my stays and find more reviews are from people who are discontent but I couldn't not write a review for The Odd Dog. 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.

    So many great things to say about this property and our host Mackenzie. Very comfortable beds, fresh and new linens. Towels for shower and hot tub. You must check out all of the amenities. Our puppies loved it also and the doggy station was a very nice touch. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.
