About this property
Heart of Hillsdale 1 Bdrm, Work,Cook, Relax Wifi Downtown Apartment Queen Bed
Guests enjoy the downtown location, and close proximity to Hillsdale College. Everything is within walking distance! Apartment 22 is located inside the main part of the house, upstairs, on the second floor (next to the laundry room, which is available for guest use).
Located in the Heart of Hillsdale, set in a Pre Civil War building, nearly 200 years old, this apartment is a fusion of old and new influences. Furnished with antique, vintage and modern items, with the North light streaming through 7 foot Original windows, the feeling is fresh and cheery.
We are across from city hall, 1/2 a block from the shops, eateries, downtown, and the the bike path, and beautiful Stocks Park, and only 5 blocks from the College.
The most outstanding feature of the apartment is the tall ceilings and 7 foot windows. From this second floor apartment, you get a great birds-eye view of the scene on the street.
Length of Stay Discounts available.
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.
Formerly the home of Merton Fitzpatrick, one of the founders of the original Republican Party, the house has seen many generations of occupants and is being restored while still operating today. What once was a mansion, is now comprised of 8 full apartments, 6 of the 8 apartment units are reserved for guests. The other two house long time tenants who love and understand Old Houses. We enjoy the eclectic decor (Which Nancy has collected when she goes antiquing) , and cozy "home away from home" feel this old house has. We hope that you will too!

Great little spot for me and my 2 golden retrievers to spend the night while visiting friends
Cute and comfortable spot. Very clean, which is not always the case when you rent a pet friendly place. It I ever have an occasion to visit Hillsdale again, I’ll definitely check for availability here first
Our daughter had a college visit set up at Hillsdale College and we needed a place to stay. The location of this property was very close to campus. There was off street parking as well. The property itself was cozy and the perfect amount of room for my wife, daughter, and I. We really enjoyed our stay.
My spouse and I enjoyed our stay in this historic house. Sure, it's an old house and shows those signs, but we were expecting that and not looking for something immaculate. The apartment was clean and well equipped, the bed comfortable, and the location in downtown Hillsdale was perfect for us. Nancy communicated well prior to our stay, and we had no reason to contact her during our time at the apartment.
We would definitely stay here again.
Great value, convenient location, spacious set up. Would stay again. Just a few FYIs - steep stairs to get up/in, Hillsdale's downtown is a bit tricky to navigate and my GPS was laggy so it took two passes to find it, and the daybed is not the most comfortable for sleeping on, but compared to other in town hotel chains that might not be as clean, or staying way out in Coldwater, this was a find!
Quick stop over night as we drove from home to visit family up North. Cozy and enough room for wife myself and dog. Off street parking and walking distances to diner or supper.
Only negative is the steep stairs and maybe a more functional couch. Over-all i would say its a perfect little apt. to stay in Hillsdale for a stop.

Heart of Hillsdale
The location was very close to where I needed to be. The lock on the main entry door to the appartments was broken, so the door was hard to keep closed because it was windy.
The apartment was sweet, but in both rooms there are leaks in the ceiling and moldy smell. This did not add to a positive experience.
The parking could not have been more convenient, and we were able to park right in front of the front door. A steep set of stairs with a sturdy handrail brought us up to the unit. The selling point for us when booking this property was that it is pet friendly. You never know what you will get with that, but we were pleasantly surprised. There were no stains or smells, and our dog was not at all stressed. The host had thoughtfully provided bottled water, and some light snacks, which were greatly appreciated, after a day of travel. Everything was clean, and the bed was comfortable. We would happily stay here again!
Nancy communicated well and was available. There was an issue upon check in and it was handled quickly. The description of the property was pretty accurate so I can't say there was any false advertising. The area is safe, though as others have mentioned, it may 'feel' a bit off. It was quiet. If you are looking for something cost effective, this might be your place. For us personally, I don't think I would stay again, but it is not a reflection of the manager or location. It's just a very unique property.
This was an old home with character which my family likes. Hot time of year but the place had fans and window AC. I would suggest the owners turn the AC on before the guest arrives. Location to town was great. People outside the north part of the building, probably long term renters a little sketchy, made us a little nervous. Ended up ok.
No communication with owner after booking site. I had to email to ask how to get in.
After checking in though,
Owner was very easy to get ahold of and helpful.
It is a cute little apartment on the 2nd floor. We did not use the kitchen to cook, but just spend 4 nights while we stayed busy for the graduation and visiting friends. The location was perfect as we could walk to the church and all things in downtown and to campus. There is a long straight staircase to go upstairs and each steps a bit narrower than nowadays standard. So be aware but I think it’s a building built in 1800’s. I just appreciated the space it offered. Maybe if there were less pillows in the room, it might have been easier to find the place set our bags etc but it’s a very minor thing I noticed (since space is limited somewhat). We enjoyed staying in the apartment!
Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
The Property was outstanding, but our link through VRBO to access the property was a complete fail. We were only able to get inside because we happened to encounter the property manager. We had a lovely stay, and highly recommend the property.
Overall, our stay was comfortable. The apartment inside was clean and cozy. The area around the apartment left a lot to be desired. Had the police and fire departments not been across the street, we would not have felt as safe there. The property manager was easy to communicate with, and the apartment was very affordable. It was also very cold inside with the AC units, which we appreciated. It was close to downtown and Hillsdale College as well, which is why we were there. The apartment served the purpose that we needed it to.
We had a great stay at the apartment. The apartment was clean, roomy, and comfortable. Being an old building, it was pleasantly quiet. We never heard the other tenants. We had our 2 dogs with us and they were very comfortable in the apartment and was nice that Stocks Park is so close! Look forward to another stay in the future!
