The Frankenmuth Dawdy Haus w/hot tub&massage chair

Want to see Frankenmuth the best way? How bout 3 bdrms near the heart of Frankenmuth. Walking distance from almost anything. "Dawdy Haus" is Pennsylvania Dutch (Amish) for "Grandpa's House". When the kids have grown and the house becomes too big, it becomes time to turn it over to a child that has their own growing family. The Amish often build a new house for the grandparents - with a guest room or two. This is known as the "dawdy haus". This is our dawdy haus! Let us share it with you! The space PLEASE NOTE. You are booking the entire main floor of the house. The owners live in the basement. They may be there to greet you when you arrive, and can set up the hot tub for you (it must be closed by 10 pm). Otherwise, you will have the place to yourselves. ALSO NOTE: The Dawdy Haus is ideal for no more than 6 adults plus children up to the limit. If you have more than 6 adult-sized people, it will seem crowded. Unfortunately, Airbnb offers no way to make this restriction obvious in the search or selection criteria. Read on! Inspired by the Amish, we've decorated in a simple farmhouse style that will make you feel comfortable and relaxed. Our home is all about having a place for family and friends to visit and share time together. Whether it's early morning coffee on a glider rocker on the sun porch, grilling on the patio, or competing with the kids on the full size air hockey table, we hope you just feel at home. Like most Amish dawdy hauses, it is a ranch style home so you don't have to deal with stairs. So even if it is smaller than the home we just moved out of, there is plenty of room for sleeping, visiting, and playing. The outdoor patio is private and perfect for gathering most of the year! Even in the winter, because of our very popular hot tub! And the rest of the yard is completely fenced with an extra high chain-link fence which you and your pets will appreciate. And in case you wondered, we have plenty of electricity. I said 'inspired' by the Amish. Guest access When it comes to accessing the wonders of Frankenmuth, we can't say enough how perfect the location is. Leave your car in the driveway and walk two blocks to where the traditional Frankenmuth attractions begin. If you know Frankenmuth, you know that everything is centered on Main Street and there is a slight incline from the river up to Genesee Street. We're at the top of the 'hill', so you get to start with the downhill walk. If you don't want to walk back, we might be able to come and bring you back! When you need a break from walking around Frankenmuth, the Dawdy Haus is waiting for you with a hot tub and a massage chair to get you ready to go out again. Please note that there are rules for the use of these items that you'll acknowledge in a document that you sign after booking. The massage chair is only available with a whole-house booking. Regarding accessing our home. You'll have a code to the front door and locking bedroom doors. We live in the basement,.so that door will be locked. As far as accessing other places? The Birch Run outlet mall is 8.6 miles from our home. Take the back way down Dehmel Rd to avoid the crowds on Main St. Bronner's Christmas Wonderland is also a little far to walk but how can you not go to a place that has billboards all the way down in Florida. Other things to note If you are looking for a place to hold a party because your guests might make a mess of your home, just keep scrolling. We're not interested. We price based on how many are staying in the home. This is calculated during checkout by Airbnb, so it is important that you enter the right number of guests. We have a Mini Golden Doodle puppy and we allow dogs. Up to three dogs only. And a maximum of 40 lbs each. All pets must be crated if left alone in the house. A security deposit may be required. And sorry, no cats, period. My husband is deathly allergic. We may consider an exception upon request with full disclosure of size, breed and age of dogs. Any exception would require an additional fee and a security deposit. We have a guest portal where you will upload your photo ID. Speaking of our Guest Portal, as an API software-connected host, we are authorized by Airbnb to manage security deposits and provide additional services offline. We call these "Extras". "Extras" include both certain free amenities and items available for a fee. All can be easily arranged through our Guest Portal. We will send you a link after you book. You will be able to: 1) request optional free amenities like setting up a port-a-crib, etc. and 2) select and pay for things like: an early check-in, etc. If you have questions or can't find these on the guest portal, reach out and ask about any of these items of interest. If you're like us and like to go south when Michigan is cold, check out our other home down on the Florida Gulf coast. You can find our other properties on our profile.
