Guests enjoy the downtown location, and close proximity to Hillsdale College. Everything is within walking distance!
Apartment 1 is located on the ground level on the front corner and side of house. There are no steps or stairs for this one. It has its own outside entrance, and a little bench outside the apartment, with a garden area.

Apartment 1 consists of 2 larger rooms, 1) a dining and kitchen area of 13x11 (approx) and 2) a Bedroom with Queen Bed, a sleeping alcove approx 5x8 with a twin bed and a seating area and a desk/ work area of 11x11, in addition, The bathroom with shower is off of the Dining-Kitchen area. Floors are antique hardwood and furnishings are generally vintage or antique. There is a 32" smart tv which can be used with your laptop for movies, etc. Wifi always.The kitchen is fully equipped with appliances and cookware, as well as dishes and silverware. Keurig coffee as well as tea and snacks are complementary.
Sleeps 3, 2 in Queen Bed and 1 in twin bed. The twin bed is in a small sleeping alcove attached to bedroom, with a privacy curtain.

It is a self check in, keyless entry (room code is sent the night before check in). Check in is typically anytime after 4pm, and check out is by 11am. Owner Nancy and her assistant Rebekah both live nearby and can be reached via phone call or text if you need anything. You will find each of our team members (housekeeping included), whether it be in person or via phone, to be friendly and caring.

Built before the Civil war, this apartment house is almost 200 years old. As such, it has all of the charm, and quirks, that old houses bring.
Formerly the home of Merton Fitzpatrick, one of the founders of the original Republican Party, the house has seen many generations of occupants and is being restored while still operating today. Six of the 8 apartment units are reserved for guests. The other two house long time tenants who love and understand Old Houses.
We enjoy the eclectic decor (Which Nancy has collected when she goes antiquing) , and cozy "home away from home" feel this old house has. We hope that you will too!

Great stay

This place has a great location-easy and convenient to move my child out of the dorms. It’s super clean and very charming inside-reminds me of staying at my grandmas! We walked to breakfast and it was lovely to be able to pop by throughout the day while busy with the chore of moving.

Perfect spot

This was a comfortable and spacious room in downtown Hillsdale. Easy walking distance to restaurants and a somewhat longer walk to Hillsdale College. Downsides: very soft mattress and the location of the toilet in the bathroom is awkward for larger people. Since we were petite it was fine. When we had an issue with the lock it was promptly rand easily resolved. Overall a comfortable experience.

Enjoyable location and quiet corner

This was a lovely place to stay cozy and enjoy the quiet. The host was great at communicating. My only issue was that it wasn't super clean. The floors all could have used a thorough sweep or vacuuming and mopping. Pretty dirty throughout and I felt like I needed to prewash or rinse a lot of the dishes before I used them. Other than that, everything was great and I enjoyed the quiet atmosphere.

It really saddens me me to get a review like this. We get so many positlve reviews about our cleanliness. It is our #1 priority and yet once in a while we still slip up and miss getting a 100%. All I can say is we’ ll try harder and keep trying. we’ll show our cleaners guest reviews so they will try harder It would be great if the guests could call me when we dont meet their expectations and show usbwhat we can remedy while they’re still here and can enjoy the improvement!

Short trip

I wasn’t looking for anything fancy as I was in the area to hunt for a few days….really just a place to rest overnight. The apt is equipped with everything you need. I’m a smaller person, but I could see the bathroom space being a challenge for a large individual. It was nice to be able to cook and do meals on-site. There is a little road noise from M99 but I slept well. Overall I had an enjoyable stay and Nancy responded quickly to my questions.

Awesome location, needs a complete renovation

I'll start with the positives: the location of this rental is perfect for accessing all things in Hillsdale. The concept of a unit with a small kitchen, bedroom, and bath is lovely. We appreciated the water in the fridge and the options of coffee and a few snack bars. But that is where it ends. The building is very, very, very old. Several "updates" have left multiple light switches (one that does not work), a bathroom that is very awkward (shower has a slanted ceiling that anyone over 5'8"will bump the ceiling and a toilet that is 12 inches away from the wall in front of it), a drop ceiling that is water stained and bowing, and a floor that slants distinctly toward the bathroom side of the unit. In addition to structural issues, the amenities fall far short of standard expectations: the bed is horrible (frame wood-blocked to the head board, mattress that is in desperate need of replacement, sheets with a large tear in it), the vents are covered in dust, one set of blinds do not open (totally broken), lightbulbs burned out, a lamp with no where to plug it in, another lamp with the shade resting directly on the lightbulb, threadbare towels... I could go on. My husband also had issue with the street noise and he swears he heard critters in the ceiling, which I cannot confirm, but did not leave a cozy feeling for us. In addition, the usual rate was doubled simply because it was Parent's Weekend at the college. I did not receive any check-in information and had to call the owner after 4 pm to gain access to the unit. I feel bad leaving such a negative review, but any potential renter needs to know what they are signing up for with this rental.

Very Convenient and Cozy

This was very convenient for us since we were needing a place near Hillsdale College. Parking was great, literally right outside the door. It was extremely cold outside, and we were concerned heating would be an issue since it’s an older building. However, the apartment was very cozy! We even turned the fan on in the window unit a/c, and we were very comfortable. We arrived tired and hungry and were pleasantly surprised to find water bottles in the fridge, as well as a few snacks. That was nice. Some rental units offer free sample size shampoos and soaps. This unit offered a pump bottle of hand soap. This was not an issue for us since this was a very quick trip, but just wanted to mention to others so they make sure to pack their own soap, shampoo, etc. There were plenty of nice and clean towels and wash cloths.. Though we didn’t need it, I like how there is also a twin bed in a curtained off alcove in the bedroom., so it easily sleeps 3. We were happy to see a Keurig machine with plenty of complimentary Kcups, as well as sweetener. However, no creamer. Maybe it just needed restocking. Prompt and courteous communication. from Nancy, which was aopreciated. Thanks so much!

Michigan Trip

My 2 sisters and I made a much needed trip to Hillsdale to see family. We were glad to find this little place and that it was available & affordale. It is cute, quaint, and great location. Nancy was very easy to work with and responsive to any request we had. We really didn't have a need for anything that wasn't in the unit. I would stay here again and recommend it!

Small but cute

Small apartment, super close to Hillsdale College. Legit minutes away. Located downtown Hillsdale, within walking distance of a great local coffee shop. Nancy was quick to respond when I sent a message. Our apartment was cold the first night (but both my daughter & I LOVE the blankets...so double check to make sure you have plenty of them). If it's just the two of us coming again, we would book here again.

Disappointed

First let me say that dealing with Rebekah (owner’s asst) was very nice! I believe their hearts are in the right place. However, we were disappointed with this unit. There are so few choices in Hillsdale and when we saw this listing we thought we had finally found something nice. Unfortunately, while it is super cute, it is definitely in need of a deep clean. The biggest issue though was the toilet. If you are any taller than 5’3” there is no way you can sit on it without your knees hitting the wall in front of you. My husband is only 5’6” and he could not sit on it without his legs completely spread apart. Sorry for the details but there is no other way to describe it. Lots of potential here, but sadly not a doable place for us.

Great Location and Value

Our son is a student at Hillsdale College. In the past, we've either stayed in Coldwater (far) or at the Dow (really nice but pricey) we found this gem and were SO excited. It's right downtown, easily within walking distance to everything. Great price and very nice. It's got a lot of history and is very comfortable. I was worried about traffic, but was not an issue at all. I hate to let people know about this place because I don't want it to fill up :) Will definitely be back! Go Chargers!

Perfect for the Weekend

My boyfriend and I stayed at Nancy’s place this past weekend. We were in Hillsdale visiting some friends. The space was perfect for what we needed it for. The house is old, but it’s clean and charming. The bathroom is small, but has everything you could need for a quick trip. Space heaters & extra blankets were great touches! We didn’t need to contact Nancy while we were there, but her communication before and after our stay was phenomenal. 10/10 host and stay. Would definitely stay here again next time I’m in town.

There is not a lot of options in Hillsdale so this was perfect for Parents Weekend at the college. There is a small kitchen and refrigerator which helps with breakfast. It is not the Ritz but for the price it is clean and quaint and we would say again.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy

Host profile image
About Owner Nancy: I am an artist, love old houses, interested in antiques, art, current events, politics. I am also an entrepreneur, and have had a number of small businesses. I love animals, rehabbing old houses, reading, working. I am actually a senior citizen, but feel like a 13 year old and relate very well to younger people. Lots of things left in life that I want to do and experience and learn. Favorite Food lately: my own cabbage soup! Favorite Music: Flamenco Guitar, Life motto: Feel the fear and do it anyway.
Nancy has furnished the rooms of our old 1800's house with antiques she finds on her "treasure hunts". You will notice interesting and eclectic gallery walls that she has put together in each apartment, as well as her mosaic tile artistry in the kitchens, some dining table, end tables and mirrors (depending on apartment).

Nancy's assistant Rebekah (Bekah) does most of the customer relations work, reservations, and tech stuff for Nancy. She has worked with Nancy to help with the business since 2019. She will most likely be the one communicating with you here, via phone, and occasionally in person. Rebekah is also an artist, selling her art both online and in Hillsdale, as well as owner of a small local bakery business. She also enjoys old houses, antiques, estate sales, singing and playing guitar, animals, writing (especially poetry) , nature, knitting, pretty much anything arts and culture related. She is a board member of our local Historical Society and also does volunteer work looking after and teaching children (both art and historical living) in her spare time.

Why they chose this property

Located right in the "Heart of Hillsdale" , our downtown location is the perfect place to stay. Everything is within walking distance! Restaurants, quaint stores, banks, coffee shops, entertainment, grocery stores, salons and spas, popular college hang outs, beautiful parks, a biking trail, and more. It is a fun and convenient place to stay.

What makes this property unique

The ideal location and lower prices on nightly stays for your own private apartment can't be beat. The house itself is steeped in history- a pre civil war era home (what was once a mansion) from the 1800s, that has been turned into 8 full apartments. Guests who enjoy history, and quirky old homes with a story, will feel right at home here. Many people say it feels homey and cozy, and enjoy the eclectic decor. Owner Nancy (who is an artist) has also done most of the mosaic tile work inside the main part of house, and in each apartment (especially kitchen back splashes, islands, tables and sometimes mirrors and end tables in the place).
