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 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!

Awesome property!

We try to visit Frankenmuth once a year. After staying at MacKenzie’s house, we will never stay anywhere else but her place. We had an amazing stay. The house is located near town and has everything you would ever need. The house is also dog friendly, which is great! I would highly recommend this property.

Enjoyable time with friends and my dog

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!

Hot tub was a hit

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!

First adult family vacation

The house had lots of room & perfect space to hang out & play games. Convenient location to downtown & stores. Wish the weather was nicer so we could have used the bikes & water toys. House really had everything needed to make it feel like home.

Exceptional property and host!

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.

Great retreat

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

Great Stay!

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!
