The Inn is a beautifully restored row of Victorian houses (mansions, really!), with guest rooms…read moreacross several buildings. The room I was in was on the cooler side. I noticed a space heater in the closet, but I was only there to sleep and enjoy a lower temp for that anyhow, so my Michigan spring stay worked out well. A lot of amenities you might expect to find in a modern hotel (coffee maker, clock, phone) are non-existent in your room, but do exist in the common room of each building. My personally experienced drawbacks were that some shades would not move up or down, very little toilet paper and tissue paper in the room, and some housekeeping neglect in the corners. Overall, a 3-4 star experience, but I am leaning towards 4.

The accommodations are beautiful, and the owners go above and beyond, introducing the guests to the room and amenities. Guests also get complimentary Detroit made products like Faygo and Better Made Chips in their room. Breakfast is included with the stay. It's a historic inn but with modern updates. The soaking tub is to die for. It's also a black women owned business. I met one of the owners, and she is so warm and welcoming. The Cochrane is one of the best places to stay near downtown Detroit.

The many baths were tiled in iridescent ceramic tile by Pewabic Pottery. All the georgous doors were hand carved by the Haden Co. of NY. The house is not at this time open to the public, although they do have occasional special fund raisers and charitable happenings.

We took the night as a "Mom's night out" for an early Mother's Day celebration and everything was perfect from arrival to checkout. We were able to rent out an entire floor and the accommodations were a dream. The house is stunning and so well kept and the host Auburn's attention to detail cant be forgotten. The most kind and thoughtful note was left for us and it made our early Mother's Day celebration together that much more special. From the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies to the beautiful breakfast trays, you NEED to make your next stay at The Guest House! I live here in town and already want to make an excuse to go stay another night!

Highly recommend this little retreat!

How can there be a fee if breakfast is complimentary? Makes no sense if breakfast is complimentary. Plus, when i went back to the site where we booked our stay, we saw no option for breakfast or no breakfast...it's a B&B, not a "B and/or B". Still a nice place to stay if visiting Windsor/Walkerville.

Joan is a wonderful, cultured, and exuberant woman who can give you much insight on Ann Arbor's…read morehistory, UM's football athletics program, and just about anything she collects (UM football memorabilia, miniature books, red items). 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!

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!
