Staycation
A group of local friends rented to have a place to gather and stay together. We had just what we needed and we're able to enjoy local restaurants and events.
OK, initially staying in a converted old bar doesn't sound that appealling, but this place is totally refreshed and spotless. If you need a place to stay, as well as a place to entertain friends and family, this is it. It's got everything and the location is terrific.
My fiance and I loved this place. Super cool interior, so many walkable places like restaurants, Mt Hosmer Park and the Mississippi. The people of Lansing are super friendly and we felt right at home.

Great place to entertain
Very nice place that had all the amenities included! Also is very nice of them to let us stay an hour later thank you
This property was so neat. Kitchen was well appointed. Property was neat and clean. It is a remodeled bar, so floors are old, but that adds to the charm. Good distance to area attractions will stay again.
Lansing is such a perfect little town, it’s like going back in time. The little Nashville is perfectly located in the center of town!! Walk to everything! The layout worked out great for our group and we had an excellent time!!

Amazing Stay
Fantastic location in downtown Lansing with a lot of room. There is a queen bedroom with private bath, 2 full beds in a loft area overlooking the kitchen/living (bar area) and an additional bedroom with 2 twin beds. Linens/bedding/pillows were exceptional and we felt right at home. Excellent stay, great decor and amenities. Highly recommend going to Coffee on the River! Love everything about this rental and will definitely rebook.
The location was great and the place was clean. The owners even partially stocked the fridge with some pre game drinks which was nice. Very responsive with wi-fi which was great. Had a small hiccup with the air conditioning but they made it right and fixed it in a timely manner Overall if you're looking for an amazing place to stay in a great location I wouldn't look anywhere else. We will be staying again in the near future.
This property was a fun place to stay. Easy walking to restaurants, bars, and grocery store. And now we can say we have fallen asleep in a bar. Our only wish is to have some background on the bar…when/why did it close? What did it look like before the renevations?

A Good Stay
We went on a weekend getaway for my puppy's first birthday. He enjoyed the walks and the free air. He is an indoor puppy and he this was his first trip ever and he enjoyed running throughout the venue. Other than that, it was a nice place to stay for the weekend. I love small towns since I grew up in one. The city life doesn't have the views of the land and the experience of being a cozy town.
The only thing that was a bothersome was the fact that people were super loud when they're going to and leaving from the bars on Main Street throughout the night. I will still rate this a 5-star stay despite the loud noises throughout the night.
