We were so pleased with our stay at this cozy cottage. The home is well-appointed; the hosts thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and the quality of the amenities were especially appreciated. The little details make a big difference!The location is terrific- we enjoyed walking into town for coffee and exploring the B2B trails. I hope to book the cottage in the future!

Wonderful, clean and comfortable home — perfect for two adults. Great location — easy walk to everything in Dexter and a 10 minute drive to Ann Arbor. Well equipped, everything we needed. No bathroom on same floor as bedroom. Dog friendly. Next visit to Dexter, we’d happily stay here again.

This was probably the mostly thoughtfully stocked house I've stayed in and we've stayed at a lot! Coffees, creamers, snacks, oil, little peanut butter, etc. So lovely. The house was perfect for us, just me and my husband and two dogs. We spent the week working from home and visiting with family. The kitchen was great, bedroom huge and comfortable and Dexter is adorable. Great time all around!

Our stay was 5 star in every aspect. James was an amazing host, so accommodating and communicated with us the whole stay. The home was well stocked with everything from toothpaste, to soap, to coffee, etc. The location was perfect as we were there for the Holiday Hustle half marathon. We were within walking distance to the start/finish line. We would definitely stay here again if we ever come back to Dexter!

Perfect Little Getaway

James's home was the perfect little getaway for me, my husband, and our dog. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed being so close to downtown Dexter. There are pubs, shops, a bakery, and general stores within a 5-minute walk. James was an extremely thoughtful host and there were so many amenities to choose from. The home was clean, comfortable, and spacious. We would highly recommend James as a host and will definitely be back!

If you are looking for a great little house to stay during your visit to Dexter, Mi. Look no further, I booked this house for my daughter and my granddaughters. The location is around the corner from downtown and the Dairy Queen. The kids were here from Memphis, Tn. They were allowed to visit the DQ at night without their mom because of the safe location. The interior is very inviting and comfortable. The owner added 2 single beds to the loft to accommodate. The kitchen was fully stocked with cookware as well as a full-size washer and dryer which is located in a very large bathroom. You will be glad you stayed here.

Stayed at this quaint and cozy house for a girls weekend. LOVED it. Already planning on renting it again. The minute you step in the door it's inviting. Even smells good. Was the cleanest VRBO rental I have ever stayed at. Owner went above and beyond picking decor and amenities. Everything you could need or want. Many special touches. Down to the pretty flowers and landscaping. Beds are comfortable. Even the towels are plush. Liked sitting on the covered front porch or back deck for morning coffee. Short walking distance to downtown area. There is a central park area with live music Friday nights. Also good restaurants, pubs, bakery, unique shops and walking and bike trails along the Huron River. Don't hesitate to rent this special house.
