About this property

Peaceful Retreat at the Estate and Williamston near MSU

This luxurious 7000 sq ft country estate on 35 private picturesque acres has been tastefully arranged into three separate rental units, each with it’s own private entrance and no shared indoor spaces. Come and enjoy the Peaceful Retreat, a remodeled suite featuring roomy living and dining areas, private attached bath, and a romantic bedroom with very comfortable mattress. Enjoy watching seasons change as wildlife pass by the oversized living room window.

The Estate at Williamston is a large, private 7000 SQ foot country estate that has been separated into three individual units: "The Bunkhouse", "The Luxury Escape", and "The Peaceful Retreat". They are each separate units under the same roof (could be considered similar to a townhouse) with their own exterior entrance and there is no shared inside space, but if adjacent units are both rented, the connecting doors can be unlocked from both sides simultaneously to connect the units. As there may be another guest in the adjacent unit, we do ask all our guests to observe quiet time between 10pm and 8am to respect the other guests.

The Bunkhouse is the middle unit, so it can be combined with either or both of the other two. The peaceful retreat is a single floor and the other two are each two story, which, also similar to a townhouse, the floor above and below will all be the same unit (i.e. your ceiling won't be immediately below someone else's floor.)

To rent more than one unit together, guests can simply make both or all three reservations in the usual manner. We had previously offered a single rate for the entire property, but it was higher than the combined price of the three units, so now we simply offer the ability to rent all three individually if they are available on your desired dates.

To view these properties, simply search "The Bunkhouse at the Estate at Williamston", "Luxury Escape at the Estate at Williamston", and "Peaceful Retreat at the Estate at WIlliamston" on airbnb. If it's not showing up, it may not be available on the requested dates, so if you remove the dates from your search, you should be able to find it.

Thank you for looking and we hope to have you stay with us soon! Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Tranquil Country Retreat

The property was set in a wooded area with lots of wildlife. The house was beautifully appointed. There were about 10 cars parked outside and we didn't hear anything inappropriately late into the evening or early in the morning. This would make the perfect weekend wedding spot for your family and friends.

A hidden Gem

I almost felt like I was part of the Holiday Movie driving through the woods to our sweet home for 2 nights. It was perfect for us and we loved our time there. Fridge, coffee maker, and microwave. You need to bring plates and cups but we loved that it felt like home. We also had our 2 10 year old boys too. They slept in the living room and we all just loved it. Thank you for our stay.

Work and School Trip

This is a lovely old farm house divided into rentals. The property grounds are a beautiful mixture of woods and open area around the pond. This stay was extremely peaceful and a delightful place to come "home" to after working! I will definitely check for vacancy at this property for my next work/school trip needs!

The property is amazing. It was quiet, peaceful and very clean. We enjoyed Old Town Lansing which is just 25 minutes away. There are cute shops and a nice variety of restaurants in Williamston as well. We are hoping to come back to explore more of the area.

Peaceful retreat was exactly that. Just beautifully decorated; serene surroundings, quiet. Thankful that pets were welcome. Other guests in a connecting space tried to open the connecting door this morning. Glad it was locked. Overall very comfortable

Beautiful property

It was amazing!! We stayed in the Peaceful retreat. Our dog loved all the acreage to investigate. We came in for a football weekend and it wasn't too difficult to get to the stadium. But it was so great to have the peace and quiet when we got back to the property.

Quiet and beautiful

This was a perfect place to stay for me. Rachel the host went above and beyond to help me. It was a quick weekend but the best part about it was the accommodations. Looks just as pictured. Beautiful scenery, great amenities and excellent shower. It’s been an absolutely fantastic stay and I will be booking again. Thanks again !!!!

Perfect

This listing is exactly as it is described. We were aware of the connecting units and expected it to be much louder than it was. The other units were hosting a wedding party and the only we noise we heard was when someone directly outside of the dividing door. Pretty, cute, comfy bed. **not stocked with anything** so plan accordingly.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel

Host profile image
We are a family of 8, four adult children (3 by birth, 1 by marriage) and our second round with two young adopted daughters. Between military assignments and job changes, we’ve lived all over the country. We’ve developed a love for real estate and hospitality and we even own a small independent motel! We enjoy traveling to different parts of the country and world, and especially making friendships that we can maintain over the years!

Why they chose this property

Purchasing this property was a dream come true! What fun having 35 acres of peaceful serenity with a fishing pond, fire pits, trails, and even a red barn! We’ve enjoyed exploring the land, we’ve dabbled in raising a few farm animals, and now we’re excited to be sharing our little piece of paradise with you!
