It had everything we needed and more. Great stay! Beautiful house and area.

I came up with two of my adult children. All three of us are UM alumni. We chose Dexter instead of local Ann Arbor hotels. We had stopped at the Dexter cider mill a year earlier before a game and really liked Dexter. Unfortunately, the cider mill was closed in late November, but we enjoyed the pub, coffee shop, and bakery. Great weekend.

Beautiful house on the Huron River. Hosts went above above and beyond to provide all that we needed for a relaxing stay, even a bottle of wine! The house is just down the street from the Dexter Cider Mill and a easy drive to Ann Arbor. I highly recommend staying here.

Great hosts! We came to town to attend UM game. This was great spot to stay. 20 mins to the UM stadium. Easy check-in. House was well equip for our group of 6. Comfortable beds. Everything we needed in the kitchen. Nice quiet family neighborhood. Easy walk to downtown Dexter. We would love to return during warmer weather with our paddleboards.

We so enjoyed our stay here; the hosts were easy to work with and quick to respond. The house and bedrooms roomy. We were so lucky - while sitting on the river deck we got to see deer crossing The Huron; a fly fisherman caught a fish right off where we sat and the site is so peaceful.
We'll be back.

We stayed at Lisa and Doug’s home for a Michigan football weekend. Located in a charming little town, this home was perfect for our needs. It is close enough to Ann Arbor to get to town as frequently as you want, but provides a peaceful retreat from the college town.
Communication with the owners was beyond outstanding and they have stocked the house to take care of any needs that may come up. We could not recommend this home more strongly. If you are on the fence, check out the pictures by the Huron River. This area is very private and all yours to enjoy. The icing on the cake, however, is the five minute walk to the cider mill. Amazing treats and cider to top off the perfect stay.

Perfect house for 4 adults. Perfectly located between Ann Arbor and Chelsea for visiting family. Walk to downtown Dexter for coffee, bakery, eating, the river trail. Bonus that it was Dexter Daze while we were there! So fun to see artisan booths and the parade!

We were looking for a place to hang out and relax with our teenagers. They loved it. From the water way in the back, to the yard games, to the wood prepared for the fire pit, everything was better than expected. Ice trays full, plenty of towels, book with local dining and activities, we did not even turn the tv on. Definitely would return.

Great Get Away
Very comfortable beds and very nice linens. Steps are steep to the river and the spiders were all over the furniture down there but what can you do? Nature. So pretty and relaxing. The little town is gentrifying so really cute shops and really good coffee.

Dexter mid-November
Warm, cozy, comfortable home. Very clean. All essential amenities provided. Wonderful view of the Huron River. Easy check in and check out. This was our third time staying there, and we plan to come back in the future.

Weekend in Ann Arbor
Six stars. Of the 10-15 home shares we have rented easily the cleanest and most comfortable. A beautiful location right on the banks of the Huron in a nice little town. Very easy access to Ann Arbor on GameDay. Thanks so much to our great hosts!

Lazy River Stay
From the beautiful river patio to the screen porch, multiple fire pits to cottage garden, luxurious towels to comfy bedding - we couldn't have had a better stay!
The cider mill a few doors down was open, so we hit that for regular/hard cider and standard/gf cider donuts.
Dexter has QUITE the thriving dining scene within a ten minute walk from the house. And for a small town the shopping and coffee shops were great, too.
Grocery store one mile away made provisions easy, but there were plenty of spices, oil, vinegar, etc at the house. Lovely welcome bottle of wine, too. Bathroom amenities provided in case you forgot something, what a nice touch.
Our third VRBO rental this year was definitely the best.

This was the perfect setting for a holiday weekend with three adult couples. All three rooms were comfortable, and there was plenty of space to be separate or together. The recreation was terrific. We launched our kayaks at Hudson Mills and pulled them out at the house. Then took turns riding the B2B trail. Dexter has so much to offer, and this was the perfect place to enjoy it.

This cottage was absolutely adorable and deceivingly large. The owners were great to communicate with and the home was equipped with all we needed. Being on the river was so fun and we walked everywhere. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful enchanted backyard with river access!
My wife and I booked this property to stop on our way back to Ohio from the UP. What a wonderful place to spend a couple nights. We spent our mornings and evenings catching bass and carp in the river…some up to 15 inches in length! The terrace was such a relaxing spot to have a fire and watch the water. Next time we will be sure to bring our tubes or kayak as so many people that floated by we’re having such a great time. The house is a less than 20 min drive to Ann Arbor however we absolutely loved the Main Street shops and restaurants of downtown Dexter more. Would recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing weekend and we hope to stay here again :)

Amazing house
We were completely blown away by how beautiful and well-maintained this property was. Everything we needed was at our fingertips, and we loved the little touches placed all around the house and outside.
The beds were comfortable and it was the perfect setting for our relaxing weekend away from home. We would love to return some day, and will definitely be telling our friends and family about our wonderful experience.

Great place to stay while visiting local family
Tastefully renovated, very comfortable house at an amazing location. Lots of amenities. Backyard scene is incredible, with large span of access to the Huron River and a fire pit. Canada geese nesting directly across the river. We canoed from there in to Ann Arbor, and did the same by bike. Steps down to river are very steep. Walked the neighborhood and into town. Would love to stay there again!

I am not even sure what to write I mean... everything was absolutely perfect! From the floor that squeaks a little like grandmas house to the huge kitchen and eating area. We absolutely love staying there... they pull out all the stops and have extras in the case you forget something. I can normally find at least one thing to keep a place from being perfect but its REALLY hard to find any flaws in this place. Can't wait until next time!

November stay in Dexter
The home was spotless! There is a beautiful view of the Huron River out the back windows. The beds were very comfortable with nice sheets, bath linens were plush. Lisa was very prompt to respond to the questions I sent her . . . usually within a few minutes. We will definitely stay there again!!

We stayed in Dexter for a family event. This house was perfect - location, nice neighborhood, close to trails and river, and most importantly (for us) super comfortable beds! House has everything too and a ‘nest’ thermostat which is great.
