Dust off your lederhosen and steins, because it’s the most wunderbar time of the year!
If you can’t make it to Munich for Oktoberfest, you can still enjoy a good beer at one of the American events happening all throughout the country in September.
From Frankenmuth, Michigan, to Fredericksburg, Texas, you’re certain to find a spirited group of Germanophiles somewhere during the month celebrating all things Bavarian.
To get inspired for Oktoberfest, check out these nine Bavarian-style homes for sale right here in the U.S.

The home also features a bocce court, a large 3-car garage and an elevator from the garage to the second floor.
