Lovely place for our family of 3 to stay and our cousins to visit to play!

We were in town for a wedding, and this home was perfect for us, our 3-year-old, and my parents to make home for 3 days. There was also a lovely patio by the river and ample space for our son and his cousins to run around during the day. And communication couldn’t have been easier. Truly a great experience all around.

Great Getaway!

Beautiful house on the Huron River. Hosts went above above and beyond to provide all that we needed for a relaxing stay, even a bottle of wine! The house is just down the street from the Dexter Cider Mill and a easy drive to Ann Arbor. I highly recommend staying here.

Charming, well equipped cottage

Love the peaceful location on the river. We loved jumping in the cool water. It's also a super close walk to town. The kitchen and supplies were SO well stocked. We had absolutely everything we needed, and more. Tons of space indoors and out for our group to hang out in.
