Great to be back
Great to be back to Brownstone Haus. Our group consists of 4 retired Canadian couples who are glad to return to Brownstone after being unable to because of the Canadian border being closed. This historic home has everything one could want when visiting the area. The hosts have made sure everything both inside and outside the home is there for you. The home is very clean, neat and well decorated. The area offers great golf courses and shopping in Frankenmuth and surrounding area. The boys make it a golfing weekend and the ladies are all shopped out after visiting the shops in town and the malls in the area. We will be returning to this beautiful home for many years to come, great time in a great location. Thanks Sharron,

Beautiful home, fantastic hosts, great location
The home is exactly like the listing. We couldn’t have asked for more. The location was perfect for walking anywhere in Frankenmuth. The street the house is located on is just around the corner from Main Street ensuring a quiet experience. The historic home is perfect. The decor is beautiful without flaw. There are so many great areas of the home perfect for photographs. Next time we are in Frankenmuth we will stay here. Nothing else compares.

Elevated Stay in Frankenmuth!
This house is perfect for any event, family gathering, or a girl's weekend. This house felt like an elevated experience; the beds, towels, and house furnishings were all beautiful. The bed was definitely one of the most comfortable beds I've slept in. We celebrated my bridal shower here and got so many compliments. Highly recommend staying here and look forward to visiting again.

About the host

Hosted by Sharon Hadaway

Host profile image
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.
