She knows her way around so please feel welcomed to ask her for directions. Her cozy abode is quirky at first but you'll be drawn by the deep passion this lady has for these knickknacks. Home is well furnished: community bathroom, community kitchen, 3 bedrooms, and dining room (red room) for breakfast. Very clean and full of color. She cooks a pretty good "eggs in a basket" dish that's a scramble of eggs, asparagus, almonds, cranberries, and chicken/asiago cheese sausages. Croissant (so good!), coffee, tea, and orange juice is also available. She's very accommodating so don't be afraid to ask. The only issues we came across were the extra soft beds and fleece sheets that may be uncomfortable for some. Room's aren't too spacious but enough to house two people comfortably (but who stays in on a vacation?). She does have cats but they stay in her room and may roam in the breakfast area. I'm allergic to cats but they were not a problem for me at all. Please do keep the library bed and breakfast in mind the next time you come to Ann Arbor as her price is comparable and she'll make your experience a pleasurable memory!

I cannot say enough about the experience we had here. We admittedly called VERY late in the…read moreafternoon after a day of Antiquing. The owner, Joan Knoertzer, indicated that she was late for an appointment, but asked for a minute, then came back and told us to come by anyway! We arrive to a non-description residence covered with grapevines and trees on Mary Street, just off the busy corner of Packard and State. You could almost throw a rock and hit the Athletic Administration building we were so close! We parked on the street and walked up the curving steps to warmly greeted by a wonderful lady decked out in full Maize and Blue. This was just the beginning, as we entered which could best described as a bibliophile paradise crossed with a museum to all things Ann Arbor/ U of M. Climbing the steps, you first encounter the Poetry and Mystery Rooms, followed by a full Pullman kitchen and sitting area. If your into Ann Arbor's past, you'll find two great hanging lights from the old Pretzel Bell Restaurant, surrounded by books of all types. Last is the Tiny Book Room, which is filled with - you guessed it - tiny books. We had a great dinner later than night at Melting Pot (review forthcoming) and went to bed early and slept great. We woke up the next morning to amazing smells coming from downstairs, where we and another couple were greeted to fresh coffee, OJ, homemade pumpkin bread and pumpkin butter! This was followed by a fruit course and an amazing quiche. Mixed with a wonderful conversation, we felt like we were totally at home. Even the three cats, Kipling, Cinnamon and, well, I forget the third, treated us well. We then spent the next hour talking about everything books - we just didn't want to leave! Trust me, there is no better place to stay in AA, especially for the price and the food. Try it, you won't be sorry!

We spent a couple nights at Stone Chalet, and are glad we did. It's about one mile from where…read moreTherese H. grew up, and near the homes of two other family members. More important to you, it's nestled in a beautiful neighborhood about one mile to most elements of the U of M central campus. So you can walk, if you're so inclined, and five to ten minutes in a car gets you to any number of important or interesting places. Parking is on the street, which turned out to be no problem, as there always were plenty of spaces near the entry sidewalk. Perhaps it's helpful to say that the Stone Chalet campus is the site of a former Unitarian church. That's how I remember it, driving/jogging by during student years. Therese remembers it was the site of piano recitals. Anyway, the former "main building" has been converted to an event center (we didn't spend much time there) and the former parsonage converted to guest quarters. Our room was Alice-in-Wonderland themed, spacious and cozy for an autumn visit. Breakfast was ordered via an app, with many choices, including gluten-free options for Therese. If you want a good and even inspiring conversation, seek out the owner Vincent, who can share some fascinating stories about real estate and his efforts to purchase, maintain, and make profitable the Stone Chalet property. We enjoyed our time here, and wish Vincent, Daisy, family and staff, all the best. Thank you, Stone Chalet.

I probably should keep this place a secret, but I enjoy sharing my findings with my yelp community. lol I am looking forward to my stay and will update my review on the entire experience.

Despite some negative reviews, I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel. I am scheduled to work at…read moreForest Health Center very early tomorrow and needed a place to stay nearby. The Marriott was further away, the rate was $143 per night, and that hotel had no vacancies. I then found the Harmony House Motel where the rate was $55 through booking.com. I went ahead and booked a room...and then discovered a number of very negative online reviews. I called the hotel and expressed my concerns. The clerk assured me that my room would be clean and comfortable. After driving in from the Detroit suburbs, I checked in and Cheryl accompanied me to my room. As promised, the hotel was well maintained both outside and in, and the room was as she described. Another plus is that my car is only 30 feet from my room. This hotel is not the Taj Mahal and it's not in a prosperous area but the people who run it take pride in what they provide and it shows. The staff were very kind and made an extra effort to make my stay a pleasant one. For this reason, I am giving Harmony House a five star rating.

The staff is extremely friendly. The rooms are clean comfortable, and well maintained. They may not have wifi but they do have satellite TV with so many channels you can't possibly keep up. The motels located close to everything, such as a McDonalds and a Happy's pizza right across the street as well as grocery stores and right near bus lines. It's less than half a mile from the downtown district which is a beautiful place to go visit, or just walk down to the river. Everything is so close it's just a wonderful place to stay and enjoy the beautiful city of Ypsilanti. I personally love the motel. They have daily, as well as weekly rates. I'm taking advantage of the weekly rates, so far we've been here for 3 weeks are planning on staying longer. Thanks to everyone not only here at the motel but in this wonderful city we are going to look for a place to live and stay here. Don't think you can say anything better about a place then that. So I personally thank the people of Harmony House Motel. You made this a home!

Never again. I wish…read moreI could leave negative Stars purely on the treatment from management and ethics. To be fair there are some good points but I guess I will address those first number one the Ambiance is very nice if you like history an old architecture it's worth popping in if you are near nearby. I will also say that I am pretty critical on my coffee but it appears the coffee portion of this restaurant has its own name and I will write an extremely positive review accordingly as the coffee was some of the best I've ever had. That being said the rest of the experience was negative. We should have known something walking in when we saw what appeared to be two other local couples going to the cute little restaurant next door which looked reasonably busy and when we went in there's only one other couple there. That should have been a red flag. But it looks so quaint and Charming we wanted to try it. Her breakfast was fair but it's hard to mess up whipped cream and strawberries LOL you'd almost have to be pure evil not to like the combination LOL. My breakfast however was a disappointing experience say the least.... let me preface this with the fact that I have a pretty decent barometer 4 brisket as my buddies and I smoke brisket all the time and have been in some competitions. That being said for approximately $14 for breakfast skillet that better be some damn good brisket. And it wound up being very rubbery!!! and just taste it off like it had been sitting out forever.!!! On top of that after taking only one bite decided to send it back and the waitress could not care less and took $3 off the bill ....? basically you're telling me I ate $11 worth of Skillet after I told you to come back and have the chef taste it please!!!!!!!????? it was like it was microwaved from the previous night The sauce on it was like knock off ketchup packets or should i say katsup! Lol Rude and discourteous to say the least I'm sorry the Ambiance is great and the coffee was actually one of the best cups I ever had but to charge for food that I wouldn't even give our dogs!! just wrong and then to not even care about it no.!! We saw everyone going next door and wondered why some place so large had such little business. Now we know why all the locals were going next door and why a restaurant next to a restaurant still survives. After you eat here you will be eating next door also.

But it's a quaint little town with a cafe, a couple of antique shops, an animal shelter, some houses, and this motel. The motel itself is rather old it seems, but it is very well maintained and continuously upgraded. The bathroom of my room was completely new and the heater was replaced while I was staying there. I stayed there for 4 weeks and I never had any problems. The lady who runs it is extremely nice, friendly, and helpful...though a little weird. Sh provided a mini-fridge, cleans the rooms, and generally makes sure your stay is comfortable. It's convenient to lots of places because it's not far from Ford Road, 23, and 14. It took me about 15 minutes to get to downtown Ann Arbor. There are super markets and other such things just down Plymouth road at Green Road, so even though it's in the middle of nowhere it's actually close to everything. I would definitely stay here again if I need to stay around Ann Arbor for a few weeks again. Nothing fancy, but everything I needed (accept internet, and the cell phone signal was sketchy sometimes).
