About the host

Hosted by James Podojil

Host profile image
Hello,

We're excited to embark on our journey into vacation rentals and eager to learn everything we can along the way. As newcomers to this space, we're looking forward to discovering the best strategies for success and providing a memorable experience for our future guests.

Our home is nestled in the peaceful countryside of Dexter, Michigan, on a historic farmstead dating back to the 1870s. We share this beautiful space with our dogs, playful goats, miniature horses, and chickens. Surrounded by nature and the charm of rural life, it’s a place where history meets the tranquility of farm living.

Why they chose this property


Our home is just 7 miles from our charming downtown vacation property. While enjoying the local restaurants and shops, we came across this home for sale and decided to take a chance. Now, we're excited to embrace this new chapter and all the opportunities it brings.

What makes this property unique


We love this location because it allows us to enjoy everything downtown Dexter has to offer. With quick and easy access to the Border-to-Border Trail system and the Huron River just a stone's throw away, outdoor adventures are always within reach. Plus, you can’t beat the convenience of being so close to Ann Arbor.
