Why a wonderful space!! Located in beautiful downtown Dexter and only a few minutes to Ann Arbor. The home was well stocked with water, coffee, snacks, and all of the homey touches that made us feel comfortable on our stay. We will definitely be back!!

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!
