About this property

The Historical Franklin House


The Historical Franklin House is located on Franklin St. - Frankenmuth's historical street. Situated close to downtown, you'll be within walking distance to local restaurants, bars, shops and other world famous attractions. Drink coffee on the front porch and watch the horse-drawn carriages gallop by or spend a lazy afternoon in the large, bay-window living room overlooking Franklin St. This space is newly remodeled featuring a sprawling white marble master bath, large front porch with seating, mid-century modern furnishings, and cozy living areas. Guests receive the entire second floor of the house only, which features a private front door entrance. Need a full kitchen? Ask about full kitchen use! Please message me with any and all questions!

Visited the area in winter — The room was inviting, very clean and tidy; beds comfortable, and spacious for the purpose of relaxing. Host was a great communicator, and it was an easy check-in and out. In addition, it was very close to the downtown; I felt we could have walked if we had chosen to make the adventure.

My husband and I stayed here with our two children (5 yo and 1 yo). It is the upstairs of a historical home. The lower level is the host’s residence. The place was well kept and the host was very easy going. The layout is a bit awkward as you have to go through either bedroom to get to the bathroom and kitchenette. I would recommend the place to maybe two couples or friends. I would not recommend the place to those with toddlers. There are two staircases, both of which are pretty dangerous for toddlers. There was one baby gate in the closet which was nice for the front stairs, but the back stairs gave me anxiety anytime my toddler wanted to follow me. With that being said, the beds are very comfortable and the home is in a great location to explore Frankenmuth.

This is a quaint spot very close to the main downtown area of Frankenmuth. The house and street have a lot of history and the preservation and renovations are beautiful. I have a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids). We were able to stay in the house comfortably. It was a better option for us instead of the waterpark hotel. The beds are very comfortable, the living area was spacious for all of us to hang out in and talk or watch tv, the bathroom was excellent, and the kitchenette had everything you would need (similar to hotel amenities). We had a few questions upon arrival and the owner was very responsive, kind, and pleasant as we met him in person. The “apartment” is the second floor of their house, and if they lived there, we would’ve never known because we didn’t hear anything from downstairs. This would be a great option for a weekend stay to wander around Frankenmuth or for a family with day passes to the water park. We were very satisfied!
