The Historical Franklin House


The Historical Franklin House is located on Franklin St. - Frankenmuth's historical street. Situated close to downtown, you'll be within walking distance to local restaurants, bars, shops and other world famous attractions. Drink coffee on the front porch and watch the horse-drawn carriages gallop by or spend a lazy afternoon in the large, bay-window living room overlooking Franklin St. This space is newly remodeled featuring a sprawling white marble master bath, large front porch with seating, mid-century modern furnishings, and cozy living areas. Guests receive the entire second floor of the house only, which features a private front door entrance. Need a full kitchen? Ask about full kitchen use! Please message me with any and all questions!

Amazing stay :)
My boyfriend and I stayed for two nights and enjoyed every second of it! The house is obviously old but has been well maintained and upgraded where needed. We were a little skeptical about sleeping apartment style above the family who owns it, but we could barely ever hear them and there was a ton of privacy. Super close to downtown so we were able to walk everywhere and enjoy the fall weather! Thank you for having us, we’d definitely come back to stay again :)

Beautiful historical home conveniently located
Beautiful upstairs apartment one block from main street! I was able to walk everywhere that I wanted to go see. The only thing that would make it perfect would be an expanded kitchen or the use of a grill. Host was very quick with his responses.

Pros: Beautiful home and neighborhood. The owner responded to every question quickly. The unit was very nice. King bed in one bedroom, queen in the other. Beautiful remodeled bathroom. Living room looks out on the street. There's a nice deck outside of the bathroom. The neighborhood is lovely, walkable if it's warm out! There's a microwave and smaller fridge. Table with 4 chairs. Keurig coffeemaker with pods. Plasticware, plates, and cups provided. There was snow while we were there. The porch, steps, and sidewalk weren't shoveled or salted. My friend slipped and fell on the steps. Be careful if it's winter time❄️❄️❄️

Great short stay location.
Great apartment located just a block off Main Street. Everything was within walking distance. Great place to stay for a weekend. There is a fridge, coffee maker, and microwave available to use. Great restaurants near by. Chris had lots of excellent suggestions. Great little balcony and the bathroom remodel is beautiful.

NICE!!
This is a cozy little get away place that we enjoyed very much. Loved the kitchenette for morning coffee and late evening suppers of leftovers warmed in the microwave. We also enjoyed afternoon tea there each day of our stay. Evenings were spent in the lovely front room in front of the television watching retro tv programs...a favorite. The bedrooms and bath were very generous as well. The location is close to downtown and very walkable. We would enjoy staying there again. Thanks!!

Cute accommodations and great location
Our stay was great! Very clean, quiet and nicely decorated. The bathroom is beautiful and extremely big. Our bed was very comfortable (we slept on the king bed.) The kitchenette area has a nice mini fridge and in it was a filter water pitcher which was a nice touch. The house is a five minute walk to Frankenmuth Brewery. Neighborhood is quaint. Would definitely stay there again.

Great location!
Great location for a Frankenmuth get away. We stayed here instead of the splash village hotel as it was much ch more affordable and then bought day passes for splash village. It worked out well. The balcony was nice and cozy for watching the sunrise and set. The neighborhood was cute and made for nice walks with the dog. Beds were comfortable and everything was nice and clean.

Very nice older home. Was on a quiet street with minimal traffic. The bathroom was an A ! The two bedrooms and sitting area were clean and beds were comfortable. Due to the weather being so great we were able to open the windows, however, the sills definitely need cleaning out. Anyway, about a 5 minute walk to town. If you can’t do or don’t like stairs, this may not be the place for you. I would stay here again.

Cute Getaway
Came to Frankenmuth for a long weekend to celebrate my husband's birthday with friends. Chris was a responsive and thoughtful host! The accommodations were just as described and the location was perfect for our needs. When not walking the few short blocks to the "city center" we strolled the neighborhood with out dog, enjoying the sunshine and local flora. Chris also had amazing recommendations in his Guestbook! We ended up eating brunch at Honey B's twice :)

Softball rainout
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this historic property! We came to participate in a softball tourney that ended up being rained out so we got to enjoy the waterpark instead! This property is a short walk into town, which we did twice during our 2-night stay. Classy decorations and a tub my kids enjoyed bathing in with a super cute deck out back (2nd story). Chris was prompt, professional and kind in his responses to my requests and helped make our stay stress-free! Thank you!

Cute Apartment
This was an adorable apartment with a beautiful bathroom. We enjoyed that it was within walking distance of downtown, but in a quiet neighborhood. We would most certainly rent the space again. When booking the rental, I did miss that it was an apartment without a full kitchen, therefore, if you looking for a kitchen space this would not fit your needs. However, there are many wonderful eateries in the area that my husband and I were happy with the small appliances provided.
