Reserve a Frankenmuth lodge hotel stay on the Cass River
From, room for two$4002 nights · from $200 per personNot included: taxes, meals and activities.
A Frankenmuth lodge hotel stay is the shortest drive in our list: 79 road miles from the Southfield office to a Bavarian-style lodge with indoor pools on the Cass River. We plan two nights, ask the lodge whether it can fit you in on those nights, and write one quote you can read before you decide anything.
The lodge runs its own front desk, registers you there and takes the payment itself. You pay our office nothing for the planning, and nothing is held for you until you answer the quote in writing. The lodge pays the office a commission after your stay, which is how the agency is paid for its work.
Covered bridge over the Cass
The picture at the top shows the long wooden covered bridge that crosses the Cass River in Frankenmuth, with autumn trees along both banks. The river runs right past the lodge, and riverside walking paths follow the Cass through town.
Main Street is built in a Bavarian style, with timber-framed facades lining the shops and restaurants. It suits two unhurried days: a walk along the water, a crossing of the bridge, and an evening in town.

Resort fee covers the pools and shuttle
The stay is in a Bavarian-style lodge hotel with indoor pools and its own front desk, and the picture beside shows a lodging of this kind. Guests check in and settle the bill at that desk, and the lodge's name reaches you in the written quote, kept off this page. Its pools and in-house shuttle are covered by a daily resort fee, which the figure below already carries.
Room plus the daily resort fee
From $400 for the room for two, or from $200 per person, for 2 nights, taxes extra. The figure starts from $162 a night, a November 2026 working rate for two people sharing a room, taken from a public travel website. The lodge's daily resort fee, starting from $34.95 a night and charged to every guest, is counted inside the figure.
Left out of the figure: Michigan's 6% use tax and any county room tax, plus meals at the restaurants in town, fuel, shopping and activities. Once your nights are known, the lodge's actual price for them takes the place of this working rate, and it can land higher or lower. Our pricing page explains how each figure is put together.

December weekends fill early, late winter unplanned
April through December is when the office arranges Frankenmuth. January to March the lodge stays open, yet those months fall outside what the office plans here. Summer weekends and December weekends fill early, so a request sent well ahead gives the lodge more room to say yes for your nights.
Fee, taxes and terms in one document
One document carries it all: the lodge by name, the room, the price for the nights the lodge can offer you with the resort fee inside the total, each tax the lodge adds, and the cancellation terms the lodge itself sets. From there you can answer yes in writing, ask about another week, or let it rest. Only your written yes reserves anything; after it the office asks the lodge to set the room aside under your name.
Seventy-nine road miles from Southfield
Southfield to Frankenmuth by the computed route is 79 road miles, about 1 hr 35 min without stops, and an actual trip with breaks runs longer. On a straight line north, the lodge lies 57 miles above the office, at 43.33 degrees north, in the 43 degree band of the catalog and below the 45th parallel.
