About this property
The Smith House Retreat w/HotTub, Bikes, Game/Movie Room, 10mins to Frankenmuth
Built in 1851, The Smith House defines vintage beauty from the ornate chandeliers throughout, to the grand staircase in the foyer.
This home was designed by our family in 2024 with specific intent to take you back through the years of the Victorian Era, Roaring Twenties, the 60's, all the way to Y2K with our lightly-themed rooms! (accommodates 19 people)
Our common areas exemplify trends of the 1920's, while keeping up with modern times. These areas provide your party with games, art supplies, books, toys, an extensive collection of records complete with first floor speakers, plenty of relaxing room and Smart TV's (for the rainy days).
Breakfast supplies include fresh baked bread, half gallon milk, h/h, 1 dozen eggs, sausage, oatmeal, pancake mix, coffee/tea/cocoa, sugar/spices, etc. Enjoy mornings with our coffee bar, and nights with our Bartender's cocktail kit located in our "Uncorked Pine" Speakeasy!
The speakeasy is complete with kitchenette, movie room, wii, indoor games, ping-pong, darts, foosball, and other hidden gems for your party to enjoy!
Let's go outside:
We provide bicycles to enjoy the BEAUTIFUL nationally-recognized trails that connect Vassar to Frankenmuth and oh ya....not to mention the mere 1 minute bike trip to all of the conveniences of downtown Vassar -OR- Hop on over to German-town Frankenmuth and enjoy diverse restaurants, outdoor/indoor activities for kids and adults, festivals, (dog) parks, splash pads, etc. After a long day of biking, relax in our private 8-person hot tub or out by the firepit in the back yard.
Speaking about dogs--we are dog-friendly because what vacation is truly complete without having your WHOLE family with you?
*Dog Rules!* *Dogs are not allowed in The Y2K Room or The 60's Room...We want to be allergy-conscious. *Dogs must be kept in the yard: we have a couple long yard leads to help you manage this, otherwise, leashes are a must! *Please clean up poop, bags are provided! *Those are our only restrictions!
Simply put: We made this place for your group to enjoy time together in a truly, "get away from it all," fashion.
