Very clean, great location, had everything we could possibly need, lots of space, decorated beautifully, owner was incredibly thoughtful, very warm and cozy, gas grill had two full tanks. IT WAS PERFECT!!
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.
This rental is outstanding! From the clear communication from the host, to the way the space was decorated, and the house had everything you could ever think of needing! We rented Brownstone for the weekend of our wedding and staying here truly made the weekend even better!
Wonderful stay. Home was very clean and location was excellent for walking to downtown area. It worked great for our girls’ weekend. I would highly recommend this home.
We stayed here for our wedding weekend in town. The location is excellent and Sharon was our best host to date. You can tell she takes great care in her property and thinks of everything. She is very responsive and accommodated all of our requests. It was a great place to stay with family and friends.
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!!
We were with other family helping clean out my parentsʻ house. The Historic Brownstone Haus was a greta retreat at the end of some very dusty days. Well equipped and comfortable, inside and out.
This is our fifth time at the Brownstone Haus. Lovely, spacious, comfortable home in easy walking distance of all the sights. Kind, communicative hosts. We love it here.
The stay was absolutely wonderful. We loved the warm and tastefully decorated historic home and had a great time. The home was clean and had everything we needed to make this bachlorette weekend special.
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.
Sharon was a great host, great communication throughout our stay. The house is beautiful and we appreciated all the little touches like our welcome basket and the fully stocked kitchen. Would stay here again!
Gorgeous, clean property with every comfort we could have needed. The location is great too! Just a short walk to River Place and The Fortress is across the street. We would definitely stay here again.
The accommodations were beautiful!! So many spaces to sit and enjoy spending time with family. The kitchen had everything that we would ever need and more!!! The hosts were super responsive and we all enjoyed our stay.
Another wonderful thanksgiving tradition at the Brownstone Haus

About the host
Hosted by Sharon Hadaway
We have been marred 20 years and feel very lucky to be living in Frankenmuth. My husband is a supervisor for Delta Air Lines and I have been involved in property management, with family partners, for 25 years. This is our first vacation rental and happy to say, we are the sole owners. I’ve never enjoyed managing a property as much as this home, we take great pride in getting the house ready for our guests and hoping to exceed their expectations. Living locally makes it easy to confirm everything is perfect before guests check in.
Why they chose this property
We chose this area because Frankenmuth is one of Michigan’s premiere vacation destinations. Known as “Michigan’s Little Bavaria,” due to its German heritage. It’s a place of horse drawn carriages, covered bridges, river boat cruises, world-famous chicken dinners, big water parks, and small-town strolls. Beautiful floral landscape throughout downtown, unique shops, restaurants, and beer gardens. All makes this a great place to getaway to during every season.
What makes this property unique
We immediately fell in love with this property from the moment we looked at it. The location is perfect! Great neighborhood, short walk to downtown and across the street from the golf course. The grounds are beautiful. It has a large private backyard with patio for BBQ’s and entertaining. The driveway is long and will accommodate 5 cars. It also has a large front porch for relaxing. I knew this was going to be the perfect vacation home as soon as I walked in the door. The beautiful historic charm with the original woodwork throughout. It has a large kitchen and large dining room farm table. This home is large and spacious yet cozy and comfortable. It's the perfect place for making memories with your friends and family.
