About this property

Heart of Hillsdale Downtown Office / Kitchen / Two Beds / Close to Everything

Guests enjoy the downtown location, and close proximity to Hillsdale College. Everything is within walking distance!
Apartment 3 is located on the right side of house , which faces a fitness center/ gym and a dollar store. It has its own little porch and is our largest apartment. It has a nice sized kitchen with dining table and 4 chairs, a living room with a full sized futon bed, a separate bedroom with a full sized bed, a full bath with shower, and nice sized office with pub table and chairs (perfect for playing games, eating, etc). There is also a full desk with drawers and chair for a workspace in the office.

Located in the Heart of Hillsdale, set in a Pre Civil War building, nearly 200 years old, this apartment is a fusion of old and new influences. Furnished with antique, vintage and modern items.

Length of Stay Discounts available.

It is a self check in, keyless entry (room code is sent the night before check in). Check in is typically anytime after 4pm, and check out is by 11am. Owner Nancy and her assistant Rebekah both live nearby and can be reached via phone call or text if you need anything. You will find each of our team members (housekeeping included), whether it be in person or via phone, to be friendly and caring.

Formerly the home of Merton Fitzpatrick, one of the founders of the original Republican Party, the house has seen many generations of occupants and is being restored while still operating today. What once was a mansion, is now comprised of 8 full apartments, 6 of the 8 apartment units are reserved for guests. The other two house long time tenants who love and understand Old Houses.
We enjoy the eclectic decor (Which Nancy has collected when she goes antiquing) , and cozy "home away from home" feel this old house has. We hope that you will too!

The apartment sleeps 4.

A fine place to stay
This place is a convenient location to the college. It’s an older home and is clean. It works just fine for my needs- a place to sleep and easy to get in and out.

Weekend Wedding
We came to Hillsdale from NC for a family wedding being held at a nearby venue. The size of the listing was bigger than I really expected, which was great! It is an older building in which I have appreciation for but at first it may seem a little off. It really is quaint and we totally enjoyed our peaceful stay. We had one issue which was the check-in information was not sent the night before or even the day of until I reached out to the owner who did respond within 30 minutes and got us the information. She did explain she had had an unforeseen emergency event that she was dealing with that caused her delay. Unit was clean and was a nice touch to have a few snacks and water upon arrival. If ever in the area again I will definitely book again!

In a town without many lodging options this worked out great. Manager was great to deal with and totally accessible. The woman who cleans the place does a great job too. I will stay again on my next visit.

Just what I needed
I needed a comfortable place to stay for a few nights. My days were packed so it was really just a place to lay my head. I was pleasantly surprised with the accommodations. The unit had a completely functional kitchen and it was very clean. It’s an old building renovated into separate apartments, buts it’s very functional. Floors were uneven in places but that’s expected in such an old building. Bathroom was clean and there was great water pressure in the shower. I will stay here again.

The property is very conveniently located and affordable. Everything we needed was provided and the decor was enjoyably kitchy/historical. We will come again.

Michigan
We went to Michigan for my nieces nursing graduation and stayed at this little apartment. Very clean and accommodating. Would’ve had furniture placement different and made a bedroom out of the room next to the bathroom and the living room separate from my bedroom. But overall cute little place to rent, and I would rent it again if needed.

Older but quaint
This is an okay place if your expectations are not set too high. It’s an old place with antique decor, a bit musty smell when you first arrive. But for the price I thought it was fine and easily accessible to the college.

I drove by the place and wouldn’t have my worst enemy stay there.
No one ever contacted me on check in day. At least not until very late. After driving by I would NEVER stay there. I expect a full refund. Terrible service.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy

Host profile image
About Owner Nancy: I am an artist, love old houses, interested in antiques, art, current events, politics. I am also an entrepreneur, and have had a number of small businesses. I love animals, rehabbing old houses, reading, working. I am actually a senior citizen, but feel like a 13 year old and relate very well to younger people. Lots of things left in life that I want to do and experience and learn. Favorite Food lately: my own cabbage soup! Favorite Music: Flamenco Guitar, Life motto: Feel the fear and do it anyway.
Nancy has furnished the rooms of our old 1800's house with antiques she finds on her "treasure hunts". You will notice interesting and eclectic gallery walls that she has put together in each apartment, as well as her mosaic tile artistry in the kitchens, some dining table, end tables and mirrors (depending on apartment).

Nancy's assistant Rebekah (Bekah) does most of the customer relations work, reservations, and tech stuff for Nancy. She has worked with Nancy to help with the business since 2019. She will most likely be the one communicating with you here, via phone, and occasionally in person. Rebekah is also an artist, selling her art both online and in Hillsdale, as well as owner of a small local bakery business. She also enjoys old houses, antiques, estate sales, singing and playing guitar, animals, writing (especially poetry) , nature, knitting, pretty much anything arts and culture related. She is a board member of our local Historical Society and also does volunteer work looking after and teaching children (both art and historical living) in her spare time.

Why they chose this property

Located right in the "Heart of Hillsdale" , our downtown location is the perfect place to stay. Everything is within walking distance! Restaurants, quaint stores, banks, coffee shops, entertainment, grocery stores, salons and spas, popular college hang outs, beautiful parks, a biking trail, and more. It is a fun and convenient place to stay.

What makes this property unique

The ideal location and lower prices on nightly stays for your own private apartment can't be beat. The house itself is steeped in history- a pre civil war era home (what was once a mansion) from the 1800s, that has been turned into 8 full apartments. Guests who enjoy history, and quirky old homes with a story, will feel right at home here. Many people say it feels homey and cozy, and enjoy the eclectic decor. Owner Nancy (who is an artist) has also done most of the mosaic tile work inside the main part of house, and in each apartment (especially kitchen back splashes, islands, tables and sometimes mirrors and end tables in the place).
