About this property

The Odd Dog Retreat w/HotTub, Kayaks, Bikes, Games

Welcome to our Adventure!

Our family-oriented, dog-friendly, unique retreat is a 4br/2ba, newly designed, home sitting on the outskirts of downtown Frankenmuth!
We are located 1 mi from all the restaurants, shops and events downtown Frankenmuth has to offer!
We offer a 6-person hot tub, 6 kayaks, 2 paddle boards, 6 bikes, firepit, wrap-around balcony, full indoor amenities, breakfast supplies, privacy fence and patio furniture!
This home is a destination to spend your hard-earned vacation time with your friends and family.

The space:
*If you are a couple (2 people), please message me with an inquiry for a rate discount*

This home was designed by our family in 2023 with specific intent to introduce guests to our family adventures!

All of the bedrooms are lightly themed to reflect some of our favorite places: El Dorado, Gatlinburg, Marquette and San Diego.

Our common areas in the house provide games, art supplies, an extensive collection of records complete with first floor speakers (that connects to your phone), plenty of relaxing room and Smart TV's (for the rainy day).

But....in true adventure fashion, a majority of the fun can be had outdoors!
Since we are positioned 1 mi North of the expansive Cass River, we want you to take advantage of that with our kayaks and paddle boards....so bring truck(s) and straps. After a long day of watersports, enjoy our 6 person hot tub open all year!

Not a water person? We provide 6 bicycles to enjoy the BEAUTIFUL nationally-recognized trails and oh ya....not to mention the mere 5 minutes bike trip to downtown Frankenmuth!

We sponsor Lexington Coffee Company, in addition to multiple other Michigan sponsors for breakfast supplies. Enjoy mornings with our coffee bar, and nights with our Bartender's cocktail kit.

Additionally, we are dog-friendly because what adventure is truly complete without having your four-legged friend attempt to accompany you on a kayak?

*Dogs are not allowed in The Marquette Room or the Gatlinburg Room...and those are our only restrictions! We want to be allergy-conscious.

Simply put:
We made this place for your group to enjoy time together in a truly, "get away from it all," fashion.
