Perfect Gameday Weekend Rental

A group of our 18 college friends have an annual trip to Ann Arbor for a football weekend. We have stayed at multiple different rentals in AA over the years. Karen's was by far our favorite. There was more than enough room for our group. The living room/dining room/kitchen area provided a great space for us all to hang out and spend time together. The rooms were plenty spacious. Beds were super comfortable!! Karen's communication with our group really made our stay more comfortable and easy. We had a couple of questions for her during our stay and she was always prompt in responding and assisting! We will be back. Thank you Karen!!

Big House Reunion

We had a great stay at this property reconnecting with old college friends. The location to the Stadium is fantastic. Only a stones throw away. The house is very well appointed. Great industrial sized kitchen with two fridges and two freezers. Lots of prep and serving space. Huge, comfortable sitting area with a large TV for pre-game and post-game. All 9 bedrooms are comfortable and spacious. Bathrooms have plenty of towels and amenities. Karen was awesome to work with. Very responsive, flexible, and great to chat with. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Amazing home and game day experience

We absolutely loved staying at Big Blue for a game day. We had a large group and everyone was very comfortable, home was extremely clean and the owners were great hosts. I’d definitely come back for a future game!

Perfect Family Reunion

Everyone in our group had a comfortable accommodation all under one roof. We enjoyed sitting outside on the porch and patio--nice summer weather. The kitchen was well-appointed and the house rules are easy to follow.

Great Party Place

This is currently the best option for a big group in Ann Arbor. The location can’t be beat and had ample parking. There were plenty of bedrooms and space. The separate kitchen area was very useful. Our host also left k cups and snacks out, which was a nice touch. There could have been more bathrooms of course but we didn’t have any issues. The only minor things to note is the kitchen is pretty well-equipped but missing some measuring cup sizes and a grater/zester. There were also quite a few condiments left over and one was moldy. This probably won’t be an issue for most groups.
