10 min from AA - Spectacular secluded retreat

This is a rare find near Ann Arbor. Our beautifully renovated home with a mid-century modern flare, boasts 5 bedrooms plus a bunk room/rec room and a sleeping loft. All totaled, this 4,400 sq ft home can sleep 15! For the outdoor adventurous, there is a crackling fire pit and large pond. There is even additional group space in the attached/detached garages. This home is perfect for your game weekend, a family retreat, or any type of large gathering - get ready to make some amazing memories!

The newly renovated space is vibrant and allows for great memories to be made. Gather around the huge kitchen island or nestle into the cozy couches in the living room. The patios are tranquil with amazing sunset views! We personally renovated this home, so come relax and enjoy.

The main floor has 5 bedrooms and 2.5 baths (there are 2 steps on this level) and the lower level has the bunk room and 2 baths. The main entry off of the parking area is at the lower level. If you have someone who cannot manage a full set of stairs, you are welcome to drive up to the front door over the lawn. There is a pack-n-play, baby gates, and a high chair if you have a young child. In consideration of our neighbors, there is a decibel monitoring device.

Guests will have access to this entire home on 6 acres.

We're close to both Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti for all the great things they have to offer. We are also about 40 minutes from Detroit.

AMAZING!!!!
Nicole and Matt are the best host! We had our wedding there which turned out perfectly. The house and grounds are even more beautiful than the pictures. Nicole and Matt went way above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our big day. The house is stocked with any and everything you could think of. I could go on and on about how awesome the house and Nicole and Matt are!! I would give them 10 stars if I could. The house was big enough to accommodate our wedding party and their families. The way the house is laid out we never felt on top of each other.

Wedding celebration
Excellent location for our nearby family wedding! Plenty of room for friends and family to gather with a large kitchen and master suite. Such a lovely patio with a frog pond , garden and firepiit with couches to lounge on. Very private grounds so we saw no neighbors during our stay. Nicole is the best host keeping her place stocked with anything you could need. She provided tables and seating for our friends and family brunch in the attached spacious garage. This is a very clean and comfortable home. Top quality beds linens and furniture.! Thanks so much Nicole for providing the backdrop for wonderful family memories !

Cousins reunion
This property was perfect for 13 of my extended family to visit my 92 year old aunt that lives in Saline. We had lots of room to spread out, everyone had a comfortable bed and it was the best stocked house we’ve ever stayed at. Plenty of towels, extra pillows, & toiletries provided were so appreciated. Nicole was so accommodating and responded quickly to any questions I had. We enjoyed playing ping pong and bags, made s’mores, cooked together and had many areas to have small conversations. We hope to return next year. It was perfect! (One small concern was the opening to the downstairs was right next to a single bedroom that could use a gate as a safety precaution.) We were so impressed with the welcome treats! So sweet- the gesture and treats! Thank you, Nicole and Matt, for a beautiful property to enjoy!

New Years Weekend
I’d like by simply saying Wow !! Nicole’s place was everything and more Finding the location was a breeze getting into the home was painless because she’s a professional at that! When my family arrived there was a note with our family name on it and it made us feel welcomed… As we get upstairs to the kitchen area there were cookies for us and that was way cool The house was super clean and the space is a must see.. I mean everything you’d want in a home is here! We had a bonfire and there was plenty of firewood in the garage there so much space and so much to do There’s plenty good books to read, every inch of Nicole’s home there’s something to do in the garage there’s darts and a ping pong table.. I can’t say enough about My experience.. I’m now looking at the calendar to find another reason for a stay at Nicole’s 😀 if I had to rate my stay between 1-10 100 percent would be a ten!! P.s in the Master Suite There’s heated floors And the House Is off a main road and the insulation in the home is Sprayfoam with is the best Insulation you can add!! Everything is first class!! Do yourself a favor and book Nicole’s place you will be glad you did!! Nicole thank you for allowing Me and my family to create memories at your place that will talk about for along time Mike

Best location for a family getaway
We gathered for a mother daughter weekend with my mom’s side of the family and just had the best time. We barely left the house since we had plenty of space to hang out and chat, all together or in smaller groups. Everyone commented how comfortable the beds and amenities were! Nicole has so thoughtfully finished and equipped the space - we cooked at the house all weekend and had everything we needed. We had more than enough space for our group of 13 and could have comfortably fit more if we’d doubled up on the queen beds more. As we were packing up, there were many requests to make this an annual trip so we can’t wait to be back :)

Great House for large groups
We had 9 people from out of state in for a wedding ranging age 7 to 65. The house sleeps 10 upstairs and 4 downstairs, 4 full baths and a powder room. More could fit on the sectionals and couches if the owner allows. Fully stocked kitchens, a grill, and a funky pond with a rowboat. Lots to do for kids with games and the garage converted to a game room. We had to drag our grandkids out at the end, they didn’t want to leave. Great outdoor seating areas. Close to major roads. We had wedding related events all over Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti and were never more than 15 minutes from anywhere. Plenty of parking. Carpenter Road is a main road but the house is set far back so that was a non factor. Perfect if people are coming for a game or even just a reunion
