The house was awesome in a quiet neighborhood. Communication with the hosts was timely and pleasant. The house was clean and as described. A warm welcome was offered from the hosts. One thing to be aware of is the bedrooms are on the second floor with the bathrooms being on the first floor. Not a deal breaker because of the charm of the home, but something to consider. Overall, I would definitely recommend staying here if you’re in the area and need a VRBO. We stayed 2 nights to attend a race weekend at Michigan International Speedway and the drive to/from was not bad at all.

Nice house, close to downtown.

The entire process was easy and on point. GREAT communication and check in. Lovely older home in a neighborhood just a short distance from the College and downtown Hillsdale. Fully stocked and ready to go. Planning to stay there again!

Just right

We came to Hillsdale for three days and three nights. We found this property and are very glad we did. It’s a very nice, warm home with a lot of charm and everything we needed for our stay. The host was excellent, very communicative and thoughtful in a way that most other hosts aren’t.

Cozy Hillsdale

We enjoyed a very comfortable home in a quiet neighborhood. Beds were very comfortable. Large kitchen with 2 dining spaces. Internet was fast. We enjoyed our stay and will hope to return. Jennifer was easy to communicate with. Keyless entry made checkin easy.

Wedding weekend

We truly walked into our home away from home experience. It was a clean comfortable conveniently located home and it had everything we needed for our stay. It is an older home that is decorated so cute you didn’t want to leave. The host made herself available whenever needed. If needed we would come back again in a heartbeat

What a charming place!

We were in town to see our new grandson and this home was perfect! Clean and comfortable. Spacious and a lovely back yard where we had a picnic! The owner has literally thought of everything we might need, even a speaker! And she left us a giant cookie to congratulate us on our new grandson! Everything was perfect.

4th of July weekend

Came to town to celebrate my husband’s birthday with friends at the lake. This house was great for additional sleeping space. Beds were comfy, a/c worked great, kitchen was well equipped, all new towels and small appliances, dining and living space was spacious. The cookie cake was a nice touch. Communication with Jen was excellent. Thank you!

Visit to Hillsdale College

The home is quite large and inviting. The description and pictures of the home are accurate. The beds were comfortable. The property is ideal for larger groups and gatherings. Only warning is to watch out for the delicious welcome cookie cake. I thought there is no way that we will finish this, we did. It was delicious.If we visit the area again. We will definitely stay here again.

Lovely property!

We really enjoyed our stay at this cute property! Our group included my older aunt who used the sofa bed on the main floor which was perfect for her! The room had doors that gave her complete privacy, and yet we had plenty of other space to gather in the kitchen and dining room area to talk and enjoy each others company.We stayed in one of the upstairs rooms as did another friend couple. The rooms were well appointed with everything we needed, very comfortable beds and pleasantly decorated!Kitchen also well appointed, Keurig coffee maker.My main concern is always cleanliness and this property is immaculate! We will definitely try to stay here again!

Family reunion

The house was very clean and well stocked with essentials. The biggest issue was all bedrooms are upstairs and all bathrooms were down stairs. We had two handicaps elderly with us that could not do the stairs good, so it was very inconvenient for them. Also the listing said it had a hot tub and there was no. Hot tub there and that was disappointing. But other than that we loved it.
