Convenient and cozy

We needed a place for my daughter and dog to spend two nights walking distance from our home. While she didn’t spend much time there except to sleep the house was immaculate and we would highly recommend as a comfortable and updated rental during football season or whenever!

Perfect location for family wedding

My parents along with my sister, her boyfriend, and my 4 year old niece stayed here for my wedding in Ann Arbor. The location, size, ease of check-in, etc. was fantastic. The home was clean, spacious, and well furnished/supplied with easy access to downtown, campus, and the venue on the outskirts of town. I'd recommend this location for any group that needs space for multiple adults to sleep and lounge comfortably. 10/10 recommend.

This is a very lovely home! It’s beautifully appointed decorated and remodeled with an eye for design. It’s surprisingly big, a large open floor plan of the kitchen, dining and living room area, bedrooms are all a nice size and the bonus of the basement was awesome for my teen son. The unit has a Keurig and a coffee pot and there were Keurig pods provided. We did not cook while staying but the frig is full sized and held plenty of take out containers from all the great restaurants on the area!!Centrally located to all things A2 this property is a gem!

Quiet Neighborhood Near Michigan Venues

Nice quiet neighborhood near freeway, restaurants, Ann Arbor and DTW. House would benefit from some simple touches: hooks for towels, towel bars, washing of the throw blankets, spare sheets, a hairdryer in every bathroom, unexpired water filter, and lawn maintenance.

Great home base for a football weekend!

We had a great stay at this cozy home in the Dickens neighborhood! Came to visit our son (a student at Univ of MI) + caught last home game of the season; this property worked great. Loved the open kitchen / living space for entertaining, and mattresses were super comfy as well. Didn’t use the basement really (except for the bedroom), but the huge leather sectional and projector w/ giant screen down there would make for a cozy movie night. Did lots of cooking for tailgate + had a few local friends over for dinner post-game, and main living space worked great for that. Kitchen could use just a *bit* more love (could use a few more cooking utensils, a broom, more than one dishtowel, a new set of pots/pans) … but this wasn’t a huge deal 😀 Would definitely stay here again! (Fyi house also had a nice backyard, big trees, patio furniture, a grill etc … we just didn’t make use of any of that bc … it was Nov in MI 😉) We would definitely recommend!

Checks all the boxes

We (3 + doodle dog) needed a place to stay while our home was being worked on and this was ideal. It was clean, quiet, convenient and comfortable. The ranch style was easy and the neighborhood is great for walking and conveniently located near anything you could need. Host was easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again. This home would be ideal if you were visiting UM campus, or if you had a extra family visiting for holidays or weddings. Short driving distance to Target shopping center, grocery stores, restaurants, Briarwood Mall, Downtown Ann Arbor and both Crisler Center and The Big House.

About the host

Hosted by Jordan Gaarenstroom

Host profile image
Hello! My name is Jordan Gaarenstroom, I am a coach at the University of Michigan for Men's Gymnastics and an enthusiast for real estate. I have owned and operated several short-term rental homes in the Ann Arbor area for several years and am now offering reservations through VRBO! I am excited to host guests and give them a wonderful experience. All of my homes are whole house rentals, of course.

Why they chose this property

This property is in a safe and quiet family-orientated neighborhood. It is located on the west side of Ann Arbor and is just two homes away from a street called Scio that will quickly lead you to Main Street. The house is beautiful. It was completely renovated in early 2019 and is well-kept. The home is professionally cleaned between each and every visit.
