About this house rental
Lovely classic Ann Arbor home on the Old West Side right where Huron splits into Dexter and Jackson Avenues. The house is steps from a convenience store, about one mile to Main St. downtown and less than 3/4 of a mile to all the shops, Kroger's and Zingerman's Roadhouse at Jackson and Stadium Blvd. There is parking on site and a great backyard for relaxing. Clean and comfortable, we hope you enjoy our home.

As soon as I walked in it felt like home. Everything that you would want or need made for a delightful stay. The house was close to downtown shopping and restaurants and near grocery stores as well. So we were able to enjoy home cooking too. The University of Michigan was near so we were able to take a stroll on the campus.

Great location for our family of 3 couples to celebrate a U of M graduation. We enjoyed the backyard after the ceremony and the lawn chairs were helpful . Perfect set up for all of us and extra parking just across the road.

Checked the boxes for cleanliness, communication, distance from places we wanted to visit, easy check-in, 2 bathrooms, pleasant and cozy. While it's a five-star overall, I'll add an "*" for street noise that started at 7am both Friday and Saturday mornings. Everything was excellent with the home and with the host!
Thank you :)

Nice quiet stay, property was as described and even a bit bigger in person than it looked in pictures. We had some minor issues with stuff in the house but Stan was very communicative and responded quickly, although it couldn't get resolved during our stay. As mentioned in other comments the street is busy but not a problem as long as you have someone watching your blind spot.
Check in was easy, and the kitchen is very well stocked with spices (more than I keep at home!), pots and pans, and cooking utensils! The selection of board games, puzzles, and activities was a nice surprise as well (we played a lot of bananagrams) and the Hulu subscription being included on the TV was a great touch. Very comfortable appointments for 8 adults! Super close to everything in ann arbor, we never had to drive more than 15 minutes to do what we wanted to.
4.5/5 only because we couldn't get the couch bed to go back together into a couch, and the rooms got a bit cold at night! I would absolutely stay here again, it was otherwise fantastic. Can't recommend this property enough!

House was nicely furnished and well heated for our winter stay. Communication with Stan was excellent. Getting out of the driveway was not difficult since there were plenty of breaks in the traffic. We would gladly stay here again.

We stayed at the Charming Family Home to be close to the University of Michigan as we were in town to move our son into his first year of college.
The house was everything we needed. It is conveniently located near the University - about a 15 minute drive. The driveway does pull out onto a fairly busy street, but as another guest mentioned, it was easy to navigate - the stoplight down the road offers ample time to get in and out of the driveway.
It was a hot week, but we were cool and comfortable in the house. The backyard was really cozy - especially after a pretty fierce thunderstorm cooled everything down a bit.
The house is packed with pretty much everything we needed - well stocked kitchen and pantry including three different ways to make coffee - Keurig, auto drip and pour over. And for tea drinkers - lots of options.
The beds were wonderfully comfortable and the rooms relatively quiet. We didn't have any trouble getting to sleep at night. The house in nestled in a sweet, beautiful Ann Arbor neighborhood.
We had a very pleasant stay and would not hesitate to stay here again. This was an incredibly lucky find for us.
Thanks Stan!

Beautiful home with plenty of room. It rained most of our stay so we couldn't enjoy the back yard or the bicycles. The property was as described and a quick walk from downtown. Thanks for a great stay!

The vacation rental was immaculate. My husband, 4 year old, and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the home, and loved exploring the city of Ann Arbor. If you’re looking for somewhere quaint to stay, while still having room for privacy, this is the place for you! 10/10.

Keypad check in was easy and convenient. House was clean and provided everything necessary for a comfortable stay. I had to communicate with the owner regarding some lights not working and Stan responded quickly and got everything back on via text. Only negative was the busy street location and backing out of the driveway. But we dealt with it without any issues and enjoyed Ann Arbor as we always do. Thanks Stan!

Great location
The house was perfect for our family stay. Close to everything & had what we needed. The host was friendly & communicative. Just needed someone to give the okay, when traffic was clear to back out of the driveway onto busy road.

Good place for the weekend!
Great place to stay in AA. The back patio was fabulous during this first real day of spring in 2022. It was perfect for two couples and we entertained friends as well so the patio was well used.

Grandkids Visit
We moved to Kansas City last and haven't seen the grandkids for almost a year. The house allowed each grandkid to have their own room and they had a separate bathroom. My daughter came over from Jackson and we had a family meal and played Uno before my wife and I left to come back to KC. Thank you, everyone had a great time.

Campus Visit
We planned a last minute trip to U-M to visit our son (student). Our reservation was accepted very quickly, which was greatly appreciated. The home was clean, tidy, and well stocked. The fresh flowers in the kitchen and bathroom were a wonderful touch and add to welcoming and homey feel. We enjoyed hanging out in the evenings with our son on the outdoor patio with party lights. The location was perfect as it is close to campus with easy access to the interstate. The communication prior to check-in from the owner was timely, accurate, and helpful. The home met our needs perfectly and we will definitely stay here again.

It was the perfect size for a family of 4. We were able to entertain friends and family.
It was great. Much better than staying at a friends house or hotel. Would highly recommend it.

Great house for a small gathering!
This is a lovely, well-equipped house with a nice balance of privacy and common space. It was perfect for my purposes -- hosting a reunion and writing retreat for three friends. We had one minor irritation: there were fruit flies and mosquitoes in the house. But, this did not significantly detract from our experience. The house was clean, comfortable and convenient, and the host was pleasant and easy to communicate with. I would recommend this house and I would certainly use it again. Thank you!

Very nice
Located very conveniently to the U of M, a nice, very clean house that my wife and I enjoyed staying at. Our only issues were that there were no TVs in the bedrooms and it is noisy when someone is walking around as you hear it from everywhere in the house especially the basement bedroom which has the king bed. The owner was very communicative and very accommodating and we would definitely consider staying again

Happy Stay in Ann Arbor
Quick visit to Ann Arbor to visit family. Stayed 2 nights at this house. The owner Stan was very responsive to my questions before arriving. It was perfect for our family. We enjoyed the patio and the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The heated floor in the master bedroom downstairs was a nice surprise!

Great bungalow, great location
Very nice weekend at this charming house. Minutes from the Univ and “town.” Exactly as pictured and described. Very clean and so nice to have some extras in the kitchen that aren’t always provided (coffee pods, napkins, nice hand soap), especially when you’re coming for a weekend and don’t want to have to buy those things. Very attentive prop manager / owner. Highly recommend.

Great Stay and Awesome Backyard
Had a great time in Ann Arbor and this house made it even better. We had great summer nights to enjoy the backyard and the grill. The beds were comfortable and linens/towels were laid out along with showering essentials. Great size for a group of 6 and we really enjoyed our time. Stan was helpful and was easy to communicate with.
Thanks,

Great rental
This home was stocked very well in the kitchen especially! I was very pleased with the pots, dishes and cutlery . It was clean and homey. We were there for my nephew’s memorial and our family travelled from all over the country. This home was the perfect location for where everyone else was staying . They could stop by and have some food, sit in the shaded backyard or watch a little TV.
The beds were comfortable and loved the flooring in the kitchen especially. It was the perfect place for us to stay during a very difficult time .

Great Place to stay
This was the perfect location for my family. The property was in the perfect location! My family of 5 had plenty of room to spread out. The comfort of feeling “at home” was amazing. Accessing the property was very easy! I only wish that the weather would’ve been warmer so that we could’ve used the outside patio area.
