Motels in Frankenmuth

Bavarian flags flutter above half-timbered buildings in this slice of Germany transplanted to Michigan. Bronner's Christmas Wonderland dazzles year-round with ornaments covering an area larger than a football field. Family-style chicken dinners at local restaurants have achieved legendary status, served with all the trimmings. The Cass River offers peaceful paddlewheel boat cruises past scenery that would make actual Bavarians do a double-take. Sample traditional brews at Frankenmuth Brewery, where the craft beer tradition dates back generations. Military history buffs shouldn't miss the Michigan's Military and Space Heroes Museum, while shoppers lose themselves among the quaint boutiques of River Place Shops.
