Grandmapalooza!
We decided to head to Frankenmuth to celebrate our mom/grandma’s 90th birthday! This house was perfect! When she needed to rest - there was a beautiful master bedroom just a few feet away. When it was time to eat? There was a beautiful large table for everyone to gather! And - all of the family could explore Frankenmuth whenever they wanted. This is a beautiful gathering place. Thank you to the Bavarian Inn/Zhenders families for sharing this beautiful home with us!!

Incredible house!
Our stay at the Residenz was amazing! The house, and all of its details, is truly incredible. If you have stayed at the Bavarian Inn lodge they have carried over the charm to this house. We had a group of 12 and fit comfortably. The house is stocked with everything you could need. The owners were very responsive. Our group cannot wait for a return trip!

The property was so amazing that we decided to eat in both nights because of the beautiful dining room. We watched movies in the cozy family room. The massive primary bedroom was fit for a king. I will recommend this property to family and friends.

50th Anniversary Party
We had a fun time visiting with Family. They loved the ability to walk downtown. Called about wall unit A/C not working, a Maintenance person showed up and fixed it promptly. The swing set is aging ,but the young ones enjoyed it. House is beautiful. We highly recommend it for family gatherings.

Loved the Residenz
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Residenz. The location was ideal. Everything was so close by. The Bavarian Inn staff was very responsive to our needs. The home was beautiful and had all the pots, pans and silverware we needed. There was a great fire pit outdoors and a fun climbing swingset perfect for younger kiddos. Bedding and towels were included. There was plenty of room for our extended family. We could not have had better accommodations.

Beautiful Property!
My family and in-laws (total of 12) stayed at this beautiful home for our daughter's graduation from medical school. It was absolutely stunning! Very spacious and awesome home to entertain such a large group. We did not run out of any of the basic amenities (blankets, dishes, utensils) even when we used the "first round" of them. The management was very responsive to all of our needs. Overall, it was an amazing experience!

Holiday time in Little Bavaria
The ResidenZ was a perfect venue for our Family get together the week before Christmas. We celebrated a 4 year old birthday, captured beautiful Family photographs, and explored Frankenmuth using the home as our base. There was ample room for numerous Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins to comfortably be together and also enough space for separation. The home was clean and well equipped as advertised having everything needed for a pleasant stay with absolutely perfect Christmas decor. We will definitely keep this place in mind for future visits.

Large home with comfortable beds, private individual spaces and large gathering areas. Extraordinarily convenient to local. Sites. Would suggest upgrading bath towels, and assessing that the large coffee container is not empty for your guests.

Close and cozy
We loved the house. The house was clean, overall comfortable, had trouble with the heat in the main floor master. I personally do not like the bathroom open to the bedroom and carpet in the bathroom. The tv in the family room area would not work for us. The house was not as well stocked with items as other rentals we stayed in. Overall it was a beautiful home and close to everything. I would stay there again.
