Great stay

My wife and I had a very nice stay at Julia's house. It's an older house, but it was clean and well-equipped. The location was good for us with an easy walk to downtown Midland. We really enjoyed our stay.

1601 W Hines Street, Midland MI

Location was great! Never traveled more than three to four miles to any site/event we wanted to visit. An unfortunate domestic situation three doors down requiring police intervention one late afternoon of our stay caused a short bit of anxiousness, but overall, neighborhood and neighbors seemed nice. House was very comfortable.

My mom, my daughter, and I stayed the night before my sister's wedding. We were VERY impressed at the cleanliness and quality of amenities. The host was very accommodating with a late checkout time so all the girls could meet up in the morning to have our hair done. Thank you for your part in making my sister's wedding fun and memorable!

Great House and Location

We had a great stay and would definitely book here again. My family was in town over New Year's for a family gathering. The house has tons of charm, was really clean and well kept, and the owner was easy to work with and communicated with me regularly after my booking was confirmed. The beds were comfortable and each room has a dresser and closet. A definite plus! It truly felt like a home away from home. The location is perfect. It's a quiet neighborhood and close to everything. The value for money was also great; with 3 bedrooms and a working kitchen it was still half the cost of two double rooms at all the hotels. If you're visiting Midland or an area near by, I highly recommend this home.

About the host

Hosted by Julia

Host profile image
Hi! I’m Julia, a lifelong Midlander, Mom of three and a registered nurse. I love hosting because it fills my cup when I hear how and what guests are using my home for (anniversaries, quick weekend getaways, Midland sightseeing, business trips, etc). I enjoy giving recommendations for food and sightseeing and then hearing feedback from guests on it.

Why they chose this property

This is the first home I bought on my own and I fell in love with its old charm. The neighborhood has lots of children and in the summertime I’d often leave the windows open to hear the kids playing outside. There’s a school on the next block over, friendly and helpful neighbors (many who have lived in the neighborhood for several years to decades. There’s a splash park and river walk within walking distance as well and it’s a great walk for dogs and kids.

What makes this property unique

The yard is completely fenced in, nice big porch in front to enjoy your morning cup of coffee on and a patio set in the back to eat dinner on. Downtown Midland is within walking distance, during the summer if you’re not already in the Commons area downtown enjoying the live music, you can hear it from the house. You can also spot the fireworks from the Loons stadium and watch the hot air balloons go by during River Days. Also walking distance to Dow Gardens, the tree canopy and Center for the Arts. If midcentury modern architecture is your thing, walk to the library and check out the Alden B. Dow designed library, tour his home (advanced reservations required but also within walking distance) or take a car ride around Midland and see if you can spot the Dow houses.
