An absolutely lovely home! Rooms were clean and beds very comfortable. The kitchen was well outfitted even though we did not cook. Lots of coffee and tea available. Claudia was very easy to communicate with and accommodating, especially with our early check in. Perfect spot to stay for a Notre Dane game- about a 30 minute drive. We loved the front porch!

Claudia was VERY communicative at appropriate times. House was nice, a lot of “nooks”. Only issue was the a/c: as it was warm outside, we turned it on. The downstairs was very cool, but upstairs was warm Still.

A friend and I stayed in this wonderful Victorian home when we were in town for our class reunion. It was very clean and comfortable with a wonderful, updated kitchen. Claudia even stopped by to show us where everything was in the home to ensure we made the most of our stay. The house has so much character! We loved the fact that it had been updated while still maintaining its original charm. Claudia was a very responsive host. We hope to stay there again sometime.

A true cozy home away a from home

We came up from Cincinnati for a little get away before school started back for the year. Everything was perfect. Claudia is amazing and the love and work she has poured into the house shows in every inch of the house. We plan to return in the future!

Neat house and great host.

My wife and I and four teenage girls were traveling from southern Illinois to northern Michigan and needed a place to stay that had enough beds and rooms to handle our group. We were fortunate to find this really cool house. It has lots of character and plenty of room. The host, Claudia, was amazing. She communicated with us throughout the process and made us feel so welcome. The neighborhood and the town were really cool. We wish we had more time to stay and joy the house and area. We would definitely recommend
