The ResidenZ offers five bedrooms that sleep up to 14 guests with an additional sofa sleeper for a total count of 16. In addition, there are five full bathrooms (two with a jacuzzi tub). Complimentary Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a washer & dryer with laundry soap, irons & ironing boards, linens & towels, and hairdryers are just some of the additional amenities offered.

While in Frankenmuth, we are sure you will want to experience world-famous dining at the Bavarian Inn Restaurant, but when at the estate, you will have a well-equipped kitchen to create family dinners during your stay. A stove, microwave, pots, pans (including cooking and baking pans), blender, bowls, and platters for serving, utensils, coffee maker (combination drip and Keurig machine, filters not included), wine and pint glasses, and more are provided. The stunning vaulted ceiling dining room is the perfect gathering spot for special meals. A maximum of 16 guests are allowed on the property during your booking unless special arrangements and approval are granted in your booking agreement. Any gatherings or events over 16 guests will incur additional charges and are subject to special event policies and procedures.

The main level has the master king bedroom and two additional bedrooms, one with a king bed and one with two queen beds. The second floor has two bedrooms, one king room and one room with two queen beds, and a loft area featuring a sofa sleeper.

Enjoy several common spaces offering comfortable seating and spots for socializing. There are six total Smart Roku TVs (two at 65" and the others at 55") with a wide variety of channel options through the Spectrum Cable App – or log into your apps (remember to log out when you leave)! An excellent selection of board and card games will keep everyone happy!

The gorgeous property will give you plenty of space for fun outdoors, including a table and chairs, a swing set, yard games, and a grill. There is plenty of parking, green space, and walking trails nearby. Remember to take family photos on the stately porch!

This ResidenZ is next to Frankenmuth River Place Shops and the Bavarian Inn Lodge, which offers additional dining options, nightly entertainment in the Lorelei Lounge, and Family Fun Center with over 160 video games! ResidenZ guests can purchase access to the Bavarian Inn Lodge water features for a discounted price. Please get in touch with the Bavarian Inn Lodge for more information during your stay.

Just park your car in one place, and you can walk through the heart of beautiful downtown Frankenmuth. You are only a few steps away from Heritage Park, the location of most of Frankenmuth's festivals. If you decide to drive, everything in town is only 10 minutes away. The Birch Run Outlet Mall is approximately a 15-minute car ride.

This house is ideal for families or groups of adults looking for a fun getaway to Frankenmuth. Enjoy the charm of "Michigan's Little Bavaria" while staying in a grand estate.

Beautiful Home
This property is close to everything so we could walk to town. The home was perfect for our family, 8 gathered here and everyone had comfortable rooms, great privacy. Downstairs 2 bedrooms were a little warm but otherwise perfect. We had 2 who loved cooking so for our 5 day stay we enjoyed family meals.The Christmas Trees were gorgeous! We met 25 extended family in town for Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone is eager to do it again!

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!

Great experience
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.

Fun in Frankenmuth
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.
