This was an amazing place to stay. The house is so close to everything, yet you can still get away from it all. The whole house is beautiful and perfect for multiple couples, families, and an anniversary celebration for two. Highly recommended!! Owner is great with communication and house is stocked with all you need.
Close to downtown. Cute, clean, friendly, and a beautiful historial home with beautiful upgrades. Owner was kind and helpful. Had everything we needed and checkout was a breeze.
Beautiful historic home within waking distance to many shops and restaurants in Frankenmuth, but on a quiet street. The home is decorated and furnished with quality and thoughtfulness. It is clean throughout and well stocked in all areas. There are small sitting areas for a quiet moment or to read a book. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are good sized. There is a "bridal room" but works well for finishing getting ready while others use the bathroom. The covered front porch is lovely and the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of morning coffee. The backyard is charming and serene. If you use the additional carriage house, it is perfect for gatherings or a small wedding. The host's attention to detail is not overlooked in this area either. I highly recommend and would stay here again!
We had so much fun at the house. The location is perfect. There is a lot of space for a big group. The host has thought of everything. All of the little touches make it feel like home. The beds are very comfortable and we all loved having fans in every room! The outdoor area was beautiful, even in the chilly weather. The guys loved playing pool, and the ladies really appreciated all of the available mirrors to get ready for 80s fest. We will definitely be staying here again! Highly recommend this beautiful charming home.
Property is exactly as advertised. We always love our family Thanksgiving weekend @the Brownstone Haus and Frankenmuth.

This property was a highlight of our weekend for everyone. The location is ideal for a stay in Frankenmuth. The house is the perfect mix of gorgeous original features and modern conveniences. It is beautifully decorated. We appreciated the kitchen being stocked with everything necessary for preparing and serving meals. Everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully done. Thank you!
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!!
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.
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!
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 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.
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.

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.
