Wonderful Return Visit

Second time stsying at this house. Absolutely wonderful. Homey. Comfortable. Well appointed kitchen and bathroom. Also an inspiring learning experience in terms of what eco-friendly actually entails. And being right on the river in spring was glorious. Bluebirds fliting in and out of their birdhouse. Magical.

Location can’t be beat

We’ve stayed at Lisa and Doug’s place many times over the last few years. Never been disappointed with our stay. Access to Ann Arbor, great B2B TraiI within walking distance and decent restaurants. I thought we walked all the local trails from the house, yet we discovered another trail near the house that rewarded us with lots of deer. Our morning walks with coffee are part of the benefits of staying here. And yes, the house is as portrayed, patio on The Huron and super nice host. What not to love!

Lovely place for our family of 3 to stay and our cousins to visit to play!

We were in town for a wedding, and this home was perfect for us, our 3-year-old, and my parents to make home for 3 days. There was also a lovely patio by the river and ample space for our son and his cousins to run around during the day. And communication couldn’t have been easier. Truly a great experience all around.

My wife and my daughters and myself all really enjoyed our stay in your beautiful home. Within 10 minutes of getting to the property I seen 3 deer in the woods across the river. Was very peaceful and serene and close to everything. Will be staying again. Thank you very much. Also loved the bottle of wine.

MSU game

Stayed with two of our adult children to watch the UM-MSU game. This is the second time we have rented this house in Dexter. We used to own a condo in downtown Ann Arbor, so we were initially concerned about how much different it is in Dexter and downtown Ann Arbor. But we love Dexter. We went to the coffee shop twice, the bakery, and the pub (twice as well). We obviously came back, so it was enjoyable.

Visiting our son at UM

What a fabulous location. Short easy drive to Ann Arbor. Walking distance to Dexter Downtown where there are pubs and restaurants and stores. Short drive to anything you need. The house was so charming and homey. Lisa and Doug really make you feel at home with all the little things in the house. The back yard was so nice to sit by the river and lite a fire. We will definitely come back.

Graduation

We found the perfect hideaway for our son’s graduation from University of Michigan. Dexter is a lovely town, and although very convenient to Ann Arbor, is far from the madness and crowds of graduation weekend! We especially loved relaxing on the terrace by the river after a busy day at the Big House!

The Game

I came up with two of my adult children. All three of us are UM alumni. We chose Dexter instead of local Ann Arbor hotels. We had stopped at the Dexter cider mill a year earlier before a game and really liked Dexter. Unfortunately, the cider mill was closed in late November, but we enjoyed the pub, coffee shop, and bakery. Great weekend.
