Really nice stay and great location
Cozy with plenty of rooms and space to visit. Fantastic outdoor area and very well stocked kitchens. And thoughtful touches throughout. Great communication and flexibility that we really appreciated. Walkable to runs, walks, food....Very happy to have found it for our 3 couples to gather.

Very Attentive Staff
I really appreciate how the staff managing our property went out of their way to make my family's stay a comfortable one. For instance, the property has a printer but the ink had dried up. Within 24 hours of notifying the staff of this situation, new ink was dropped off at the property. Another example was when my family left, several of our items were left behind. The staff made it really easy for my mother to pick up the items.

Go Blue House
Awesome location. Clean and comfortable. Great coffee options every morning. The host was excellent in responding to emails about questions we had for dining options within walking distance. Worked well for a guys golf trip to Ann Arbor. I would probably use the same location in the future if we repeat the trip.

Comfy and Cozy
The house and beds were very comfortable and cozy. Best supplied home we have ever stayed at. Coffee station was tremendous - everything we needed for coffee/tea. Perfect location to walk to restaurants/bars downtown. Outside needs a little TLC.
