Adorable retro retreat
I stayed at this property with my husband, two young kids (ages 3 and 1), parents, and adult brother. Everyone had a wonderful stay and the house couldn’t have been cuter! It felt like stepping into a blast from the past with modern touches. The house was impeccably clean - my husband even commented that the coffee maker was clean (something you don’t always find in rentals). We had a minor issue with the summer kitchen TV, and Vickie addressed it very quickly. This was a great house for families of all ages - walkable to everywhere you would want to go in Frankenmuth with a whole lot of charm. We definitely plan to return!

Frankenmuth Visit
We stayed the weekend in the Rupprecht haus. We had a great time. Close enough to downtown to walk everywhere you want to go. The house was great, the kids loved it. The only drawback is the road noise is pretty loud, but didn’t keep our baby or anyone else from being able to sleep.

I can't say enough good things about this home! I rented this for a group weekend with 6 adults, and everyone loved this place! On the top of my list was the cleanliness (I run a cleaning service, so am especially attuned to this), and this house was absolutely spotless. It was also very comfortable and roomy for the 6 of us, with plenty of amenities (I had forgotten shaving cream, and was delighted to find a full can in the bathroom storage); plenty of thick towels, comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen with fun retro appliances, plenty of TV's, and well-maintained grounds. If you're travelling with children, the upstairs game room or the Summer house make a great place for them to have their own space, and the yard is large enough to allow for use of the yard games supplied. The location, right on the main street of Frankenmuth put us within walking distance of almost everything, and the town is charming and picturesque enough to make walking a pleasure. You might find Bronner's Christmas store a bit of a walk, and we chose to drive there, but walked everywhere else. Additionally, the host was great about communicating during our stay. I hope you will enjoy this house as much as we did, and I really look forward to returning!

The home had plenty of room. We had four adults and two children. The bunk beds needed some type of railing or a thinner mattress. We were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the home. It is very clean, plenty of towels, soap products. We throughly enjoyed our stay.
