About this house rental

Guests enjoy the downtown location, and close proximity to Hillsdale College. Everything is within walking distance!

Apartment 21 is at the top of the stairs of a Historic Victorian Building Built Circa 1854. It is next to the laundry room , which guests have access to.
Bought in 2006 by new owners, the building is constantly being repaired but with the goal of preserving its Historic character. Every effort is being made to save, and in some cases recreate or restore, its unique features such as antique hardwood floors, original woodwork and moldings. Also has a full kitchen, bath, & living room. It is completely private!!

Apartment 21 is located in the main part of the house, upstairs, on the second floor.
It has a kitchen which includes range, refrigerator, microwave and Keurig coffee maker, pots and pans, dishes, silverware, just like home! If you don't feel like going out to eat, you don't have to! The bedroom is cozy, perfect for two, with a 1920's metal bed in the bedroom , and a handcrafted wood twin sized daybed in the living room.

The bathroom is finished and complete with a nice sized shower, sink, toilet and tile floor. The living room of the apartment is a great place to relax. It boasts an oversized daybed, loaded with pillows, very comfortable and a 43" TV with Roku. In one corner a desk and comfortable chair are perfect for catching up on office tasks or homework. Across the room, sits an old gliding rocker, also very comfortable. A bay window looks down on the street and nearby buildings and lets in the sunlight during the day. At bedtime, pillows are removed from the daybed and it becomes an extra bed for a third person, adult or child.

It is a self check in, keyless entry (room code is sent the night before check in). Check in is typically anytime after 4pm, and check out is by 11am. Owner Nancy and her assistant Rebekah both live nearby and can be reached via phone call or text if you need anything. You will find each of our team members (housekeeping included), whether it be in person or via phone, to be friendly and caring.

Built before the Civil war, this apartment house is almost 200 years old. As such, it has all of the charm, and quirks, that old houses bring.

Built before the Civil War and at the beginning of the Victorian Era, the house has features of both, the simple boxy lines of a Pre Civil War Building and some Victorian flourishes.
After the Great Depression In the 1930's the building was converted to an 8 unit apartment building for lower income families..
Today 6 of the 8 apartments serve as a Comfortable, Reasonable and Convenient short term place to stay for Hillsdale Visitors. The two remaining apartments are leased to long term tenants who understand and love old houses.

Across the street from city hall, post office, fire and police, 1/2 a block west are the town shops & eateries. 1/2 a block south, take a walk in lovely Stocks Park.

I lived in Hillsdale my whole life until the last 5 years. I know the area very well. This house used to be a "drug house," very impressed with how it has turned into a beautiful property. Would like to recommend a few things..it is the "little things" that make it even more comfortable and special, such as, more than one roll of toilet paper in the home, having shampoo, conditioner, and body wash available versus having a little bit in a plastic bottle, didn't have any extras such as salt and pepper, etc. Also had no access to things like extra trash bags, a broom, etc. I know these are not mandatory items, but it does make a difference in one's overall experience. Other than this I was impressed with the overall cleanliness and beauty of the apartment.

Historical house within walking distance of the downtown area. Great for us and adult kids to stay while visiting our son. Day bed is not comfortable but double bed is decent. We have stayed twice now so the price is worth our couple of nights. Host responds quickly.

Yes, it's old but charming and great price. Downtown location. Warm, decent bed comfort, double bed and twin. We will be staying again. Extra blankets, heater, fan. Furnishings are old but if you can handle a step back in time and just need a place to lay your head, perfect spot.

We stayed for a couple of nights while visiting the Campus of Hillsdale College. Great location which was very convenient. The space heaters kept the room nice and cozy as the temperature was in the 40's at night. Would definitely visit again.
