Cute, Clean, and Comfortable

We stayed at this property for Parents & Family weekend at University of Michigan. The commute to campus was about 15 min. The house has really cute details and was well appointed. Downtown Dexter was less than a 5 min drive. We appreciated the cleanliness and artistry of the space. The house is on a small highway so there was a bit of road noise in the front bedroom. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay!

Cute house

Good base to go do things. Clean and quiet. As is usually the case, one bedroom is better than the other. Not much room to spread out in the second bedroom. A luggage rack and nightstand would be nice. Overall, nice place.

Nice

This was a nice place in Dexter to stay for our daughter’s wedding at Cornman Farms. There was plenty of room for 6 with the fold out couch and large kitchen to hang out when taking a rest from the busy weekend. We did not cook but the kitchen had nice appliances and was well stocked. I would recommend this house!

Great home base for Ann Arbor visit

I was visiting my son, who’s a student at UM, and helping him with a local move. This adorable house in Dexter was perfect for the week— gave me a place to stay and he could join me between leases. The house has so many thoughtful and tasteful updates and the yard is just lovely.

Graduation

The house was perfect! It had everything you could need. There were games, a fully stocked kitchen, a washer & dryer, super comfortable beds, and it is nicely decorated! It also has a huge lawn where we played games. It was exactly what we wanted and needed for the week. We would totally book this house again! Really great location because it’s close to Ann Arbor and Chelsea!! Loved it…and the hosts were very communicative.

Perfect spot for the area

This home was perfect for our needs. It was comfortable, clean, and well-appointed. Attention to detail was evident in every room with games and decor. Anna was very responsive to questions. The neighborhood was quiet. We stayed for 19 days and would love to come back. It's 1 mile from the town square and a beautiful park system nearby with paved trails for walking or bicycling along the Huron River where canoeing, kayaking, and floating is very accessible. Thanks!
