I was looking for a good location, access to a kitchen at an affordable price, and that's what I got. Having said that, this wasn't the most comfortable stay ever. No couch or oversized chair to relax in (a daybed in the living room serves double-duty as couch and extra sleeping space). The shower was very run-down, though the water pressure and temp were good. The decor was more shabby than chic and there was a lot of kid noise from next door. Again, it was very reasonably priced, and I got what I paid for.
Great little spot for me and my 2 golden retrievers to spend the night while visiting friends
Cute and comfortable spot. Very clean, which is not always the case when you rent a pet friendly place. It I ever have an occasion to visit Hillsdale again, I’ll definitely check for availability here first
Convenient, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet given the downtown location. Host was responsive to requests. We're grateful for the time we had here!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
The Property was outstanding, but our link through VRBO to access the property was a complete fail. We were only able to get inside because we happened to encounter the property manager. We had a lovely stay, and highly recommend the property.
Overall, our stay was comfortable. The apartment inside was clean and cozy. The area around the apartment left a lot to be desired. Had the police and fire departments not been across the street, we would not have felt as safe there. The property manager was easy to communicate with, and the apartment was very affordable. It was also very cold inside with the AC units, which we appreciated. It was close to downtown and Hillsdale College as well, which is why we were there. The apartment served the purpose that we needed it to.
We had a great stay at the apartment. The apartment was clean, roomy, and comfortable. Being an old building, it was pleasantly quiet. We never heard the other tenants. We had our 2 dogs with us and they were very comfortable in the apartment and was nice that Stocks Park is so close! Look forward to another stay in the future!
Nicely decorated Victorian decorated apartment . Lots of hot water in shower despite being older house
Recommend new blinds in living room - room darkening since near main road .
Our daughter had a college visit set up at Hillsdale College and we needed a place to stay. The location of this property was very close to campus. There was off street parking as well. The property itself was cozy and the perfect amount of room for my wife, daughter, and I. We really enjoyed our stay.
My spouse and I enjoyed our stay in this historic house. Sure, it's an old house and shows those signs, but we were expecting that and not looking for something immaculate. The apartment was clean and well equipped, the bed comfortable, and the location in downtown Hillsdale was perfect for us. Nancy communicated well prior to our stay, and we had no reason to contact her during our time at the apartment.
We would definitely stay here again.
It was a very quaint apartment. It was decorated nicely and the hostess added several things like coffee pods and donuts to make the stay extra special. The street lights were a bit bright through the windows and there was traffic noise but we enjoyed having a nice place to stay near the college and would book again.
Great value, convenient location, spacious set up. Would stay again. Just a few FYIs - steep stairs to get up/in, Hillsdale's downtown is a bit tricky to navigate and my GPS was laggy so it took two passes to find it, and the daybed is not the most comfortable for sleeping on, but compared to other in town hotel chains that might not be as clean, or staying way out in Coldwater, this was a find!
This is the second time we’ve rented with Nancy’s units. It’s SO clean, neat antiques in the rooms, easy check-in and communication! The unit is very close to many downtown attractions and the college. Thank you Nancy, great job!
Quick stop over night as we drove from home to visit family up North. Cozy and enough room for wife myself and dog. Off street parking and walking distances to diner or supper.
Only negative is the steep stairs and maybe a more functional couch. Over-all i would say its a perfect little apt. to stay in Hillsdale for a stop.

About the host
Hosted by Nancy
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).
