Classic restoration
This property was lovingly and skillfully restored and updated by the owner. As someone who herself has restored an 1880s Victorian in Michigan, I found his work impressive. Dustin's attention to detail, use of crisp clean lines & selection of hardware, furniture, etc. kept the charm of a small c.1900s cottage while making the home spacious and inviting. The kitchen is large and well equipped. The beds & bed linens were heavenly. Three international college students came for an evening and were impressed by the house and all that Dustin had done to update it. The comfortable sofas both in the livingroom and on the large enclosed porch were very inviting. I could say much more, but you get the picture.

We absolutely loved this house! It was so comfortable, and it was great being able to walk to and from dinner at night. It was also an easy drive over to WEC where we were competing. We will definitely stay here again!
