The Bavarian Inn offers a Perks Club card for $10 a year which will entitle you to some nice discounts at the Lodge plus earns you points that convert into gift certificates to the Lodge, Restaurants, and Shops.
My Mom and Dad were in Frankenmuth last week and they said things were different but they still had a good time. No coffee makers at the BI Lodge right now, and I think she said no little toiletries either, so take your own if you stay there.
Bronner’s Christmas Store is a must-do, as well as a full dinner at the Bavarian Inn or Zehnder’s. Take your appetite. The Cheese Haus is a cult favorite and we always leave there with too much cheese. River Place shops are nice to walk around for an afternoon. Birch Run outlets are also nearby if you are into that kind of shopping.
I love Frankenmuth. Hope you enjoy it!
