Quiet Neighborhood Near Michigan Venues

Nice quiet neighborhood near freeway, restaurants, Ann Arbor and DTW. House would benefit from some simple touches: hooks for towels, towel bars, washing of the throw blankets, spare sheets, a hairdryer in every bathroom, unexpired water filter, and lawn maintenance.

Great home base for a football weekend!

We had a great stay at this cozy home in the Dickens neighborhood! Came to visit our son (a student at Univ of MI) + caught last home game of the season; this property worked great. Loved the open kitchen / living space for entertaining, and mattresses were super comfy as well. Didn’t use the basement really (except for the bedroom), but the huge leather sectional and projector w/ giant screen down there would make for a cozy movie night. Did lots of cooking for tailgate + had a few local friends over for dinner post-game, and main living space worked great for that. Kitchen could use just a *bit* more love (could use a few more cooking utensils, a broom, more than one dishtowel, a new set of pots/pans) … but this wasn’t a huge deal 😀 Would definitely stay here again! (Fyi house also had a nice backyard, big trees, patio furniture, a grill etc … we just didn’t make use of any of that bc … it was Nov in MI 😉) We would definitely recommend!

Checks all the boxes

We (3 + doodle dog) needed a place to stay while our home was being worked on and this was ideal. It was clean, quiet, convenient and comfortable. The ranch style was easy and the neighborhood is great for walking and conveniently located near anything you could need. Host was easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again. This home would be ideal if you were visiting UM campus, or if you had a extra family visiting for holidays or weddings. Short driving distance to Target shopping center, grocery stores, restaurants, Briarwood Mall, Downtown Ann Arbor and both Crisler Center and The Big House.

Great Location & Accommodations

This home is in a great location and was well suited for our family needs while in Ann Arbor. Jordan was great to work with. The main area for improvement we saw was the need for a good vacuuming. Despite this we had a great overall experience and would highly recommend this location for visits to Ann Arbor.

Very nice house

This house is spacious and well maintained. It really is a hidden gem. Very clean, very nicely laid out, well furnished with everything you might need, and the host was very helpful, too. We arrived in the middle of some very bad winter weather and the power had gone out minutes before we got there. The host was on top of communicating with us about options. Fortunately the power came back on within just a few minutes of our arrival and all was well. If we come back to this area again, we will definitely try to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Jordan Gaarenstroom

Hello! My name is Jordan Gaarenstroom, I am a coach at the University of Michigan for Men's Gymnastics and an enthusiast for real estate. I have owned and operated several short-term rental homes in the Ann Arbor area for several years and am now offering reservations through VRBO! I am excited to host guests and give them a wonderful experience. All of my homes are whole house rentals, of course.

Why they chose this property

This property is in a safe and quiet family-orientated neighborhood. It is located on the west side of Ann Arbor and is just two homes away from a street called Scio that will quickly lead you to Main Street. The house is beautiful. It was completely renovated in early 2019 and is well-kept. The home is professionally cleaned between each and every visit.
