Lovely, quiet property and cozy cottage made this a perfect getaway for us when visiting our daughter at Ann Arbor for Parents’ weekend. While it is a little bit of a drive (~25-30 min) it was well worth it - much more affordable than ridiculously overpriced Ann Arbor hotel rooms. and beautiful peaceful setting made it thoroughly enjoyable. Would definitely return! Thank you!

Jill and Michael were thoughtful, helpful, responsive hosts who accommodated our travel needs. The space was quiet, and we especially appreciated the walking paths near the pond and through the Forest next to the house.
The location was convenient to Ann Arbor and surrounding outdoor recreation opportunities, parking, arrival, and departure were simple and smooth.

Perfect Family Vacation Home
This property truly deserves 5 stars. My husband and I, our two kids (3yo and 15month old) and our dog stayed here for 5 days. The hosts were very helpful and provided us with some great local options of food and ice cream beforehand. Highly recommend the Social House 103 to anyone visiting. I truly cannot say enough positive things about this home. The house was very clean with everything you could need. The yard was very well maintained and you could tell they love and respect their property. The beach was perfect for our little girls to splash around in and our dog to swim in basically all day. As the description reads definitely bring a few garbage towels to wipe off paws and feet. There were walking trails through the woods that were well maintained as well. You really don’t even need to leave the property! The house was spacious and the beds were very comfortable. Pictures didn’t even do this listing justice!

We truly enjoyed this house. We traveled with our kids, ages 4 and 6, and our dog. We enjoyed Rolling Hills and Willow Metroparks for their pools and water parks, along with enjoying the beach at the house before and/or after a day of water. The owners were so kind and welcoming. We were so appreciative to have had the opportunity to bring along our dog, too! She just loved the trails and enjoying nature as we all did. We forgot our dog kennel and the owners were so accommodating to let us borrow one for the stay. Overall, a really wonderful experience - thank you for allowing us to stay in such a great place!

We had a great experience at this property. The hosts are friendly and so are their dogs. Our fur baby Mini Pearl loved visiting them at the fence and escaped one morning to go say hi. The beds were very comfortable, air conditioning worked great, and the living room was perfect for unwinding from our day trips to the Ford Museum, Greenfield Village, touring the F150 plant, and touring Frank Lloyd Wright homes in the area. We would definitely stay here again.

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Michael and Jill’s rental! I took a quick trip to MI for my baby shower, and in between all the chaos I truly enjoyed the relaxing outdoor oasis right in the backyard! We had a bonfire one evening and my nieces went swimming in the pond during the day. Michael and Jill even provided me with some recommendations on a nearby bakery! Thanks for the wonderful stay Michael and Jill! :)

Nice place to get away from it all. Plenty of room for 2-4.
The only thing I missed was being able to see wooded acreage & pond (landscape in back) except for porthole window in kitchen. Furnished nicely, great bathroom, well stocked kitchen. We had everything we needed! Safe surroundings! Great Bakery downtown Milan. Don’t miss that! Enjoyed the shops. Close to Brighton, Ann Arbor. Fenton. Very close to Cabellas & Bass Pro Be sure to know where you want to explore & eat prior. Not a lot of info for that in house. We hope to return! ThanK You Michael & Jill.

Clean, Comfortable, Beautiful Location!
We stayed here for three weeks during construction of our new house. The cottage is well-appointed with many thoughtful touches. We had everything we needed for our stay. The property is amazing. We enjoyed daily walks on the wooded trails. The hosts were extremely responsive, helpful and kind. We found favorite local restaurants and had a great time at a local brewery. Our son is at University of Michigan and the cottage was conveniently located for our visits to Ann Arbor. We had such a good visit that we booked an additional stay.

Clean and comfortable
This is a wonderful spot. Out of town but only 20 min. drive in to Ypsilanti. Private. Great yard for our Collie and visiting Collie puppy to play. Fire pit adjacent to pond, charcoal grill which we used to cook our shish kabob on during the University of Michigan/Michigan State game which we were able to get on the t v. Umbrella covered patio table with chairs to sit outside and enjoy a fall day. Accommodations were very clean, well stocked with everything you might need, beds comfortable, heating system efficient. Owners on premises and easily available if needed but other than that just small talk when our dogs "visited" their dogs, their dogs being behind a fence. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to visit again.

Jill and Michael were fabulous hosts. They never bothered us but were just a text away if we needed them. The house was spotless and had all the necessities. The property itself was gorgeous and perfect for hikes through the woods with the pooch. It was peaceful and relaxing and can't wait to return! Ronda & Terry & Dolly

I first selected this property 3 years ago because it was close to my relatives in Milan, and I was delighted to stay here again. The cottage is spacious and spotless, and it has everything you'd need for a comfortable visit. The property is gorgeous with walking trails around the pond, and the "country" setting makes it very quiet and peaceful. Michael & Jill are great hosts, too! Looking forward to staying here during my next visit to Michigan.
