We were in town for a wedding, and this home was perfect for us, our 3-year-old, and my parents to make home for 3 days. There was also a lovely patio by the river and ample space for our son and his cousins to run around during the day. And communication couldn’t have been easier. Truly a great experience all around.

What a fabulous location. Short easy drive to Ann Arbor. Walking distance to Dexter Downtown where there are pubs and restaurants and stores. Short drive to anything you need. The house was so charming and homey. Lisa and Doug really make you feel at home with all the little things in the house. The back yard was so nice to sit by the river and lite a fire. We will definitely come back.

We’ve stayed at Lisa and Doug’s place many times over the last few years. Never been disappointed with our stay. Access to Ann Arbor, great B2B TraiI within walking distance and decent restaurants. I thought we walked all the local trails from the house, yet we discovered another trail near the house that rewarded us with lots of deer. Our morning walks with coffee are part of the benefits of staying here. And yes, the house is as portrayed, patio on The Huron and super nice host. What not to love!

The best location ever! Right on the beautiful Huron River. Great gardens and trees. Cozy back yard with fire pit! Close to up-beat small town with unique shops and good restaurants, coffee shops, pubs, and the walking trail. PLUS the house was lovely. Beds comfy. Kitchen very well appointed and stocked with essentials. Bathrooms too..We want to come back

Love the peaceful location on the river. We loved jumping in the cool water. It's also a super close walk to town. The kitchen and supplies were SO well stocked. We had absolutely everything we needed, and more. Tons of space indoors and out for our group to hang out in.

We found the perfect hideaway for our son’s graduation from University of Michigan. Dexter is a lovely town, and although very convenient to Ann Arbor, is far from the madness and crowds of graduation weekend! We especially loved relaxing on the terrace by the river after a busy day at the Big House!

Second time stsying at this house. Absolutely wonderful. Homey. Comfortable. Well appointed kitchen and bathroom. Also an inspiring learning experience in terms of what eco-friendly actually entails. And being right on the river in spring was glorious. Bluebirds fliting in and out of their birdhouse. Magical.
