"While the family themed rooms and backstories of Frankenmuth families are a cute idea, it's a little unnerving to have a picture of the family hanging opposite of us while in bed. Especially, as my daughter said, typical picture of a Dateline NBC family. And since it's nailed or glued to the wall, ..."

The rooms are comfortable, beautifully Designed ..."

"We wanted a beautiful beach. We had no intention of being in doors except to sleep. If that’s what you want out of your stay, this is perfect. Decor was weird. Cabins are definitely dated. Bed was not comfortable and based on reviews, we brought our own bedding and towels. However, the “community” ..."
