This is a huge benefit because parking is very very limited around the Michigan campus. We stayed in the Laguna Beach room (see photo) which had minifrige, microwave, Keurig, and a hot plate in the cabinet. The room was comfortable and quiet. There is a small balcony to the right of the bed in the photo. But there is no view from that balcony. The owner was very nice and accommodating. There are snacks in the main kitchen. We did not eat the breakfast because we had to be on campus before 8am. Check out is 11am but we left our car parked until 3:30 when we left to go to the airport. Very good and convenient option when visiting Michigan.

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 will preface this 'review' by saying I have not stayed at her 'inn' and I never will. I booked…read moreher 'cottage' in Indian River for myself, my adult son, and my pregnant daughter in law. I had my small 12 lb dog on the trip with me but explained to Jan that since no dogs were allowed, that my dog would continue staying with my sister at her cottage down the road. I went on to tell her how my dog loves my sister and she would be more than fine there. My dog never once stepped foot on her property. The experience once we arrived at the property was absolutely terrible. The property was in deplorable condition. Weeds had overtaken the 'walkway', the home was so dirty, windows were yellow! Curtains were dusty and filthy. The best part was the blood stained sheets on the bed. The house had an overwhelming smell of old & musty mixed with mothballs. So on top of the blood stained sheets on the bed, dried blood in the trashcan, the smell of musty and mothballs made my pregnant daughter in law sick. I immediately reached out to Jan and explained my concerns. Not only did she not return my text for a few hours, she accused me of not being forthcoming with who was going to be staying, accused me of having my dog on her property, and had the audacity to tell me she advertises the cottage as 'rustic', and as 'grandma's cottage' and if I wanted stainless steel and granite that I should've booked elsewhere. She never once took any accountability and lied to Airbnb trying to screw me out of my money. I would avoid doing any business whatsoever with Jan Davies. BEWARE!

It was clear that they do their best to make their guests comfortable. The studio had everything I needed. Jan was kind enough to loan me a couple of appliances when I needed them. The place is conveniently located and is almost on the 24 bus line that serves U-M. It is also very close to other lines (6 and 5). Briarwood Mall is close by as well. I am very grateful to Jan and Larry for showing me around Ann Arbor, being there for me when I needed an urgent ride, and helping me with my move. I understand that these are not standard services, but it is nice to have good neighbors when you are new to town. I am frankly puzzled by some of the comments on this site. They do not reflect my personal experience. I have nothing but praise for the place and the management. After all, having stayed there for 90+ days should count for something. Enough with the negativity! I would highly recommend Davies House Inn and I would definitely stay there again.
