About this property

Heart of Hillsdale 1 Bdrm, Work,Cook, Relax Wifi Downtown Apartment Queen Bed

Guests enjoy the downtown location, and close proximity to Hillsdale College. Everything is within walking distance!
Apartment 22 is located inside the main part of the house, upstairs, on the second floor (next to the laundry room, which is available for guest use).

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, with the North light streaming through 7 foot Original windows, the feeling is fresh and cheery.

We are across from city hall, 1/2 a block from the shops, eateries, downtown, and the the bike path, and beautiful Stocks Park, and only 5 blocks from the College.

The most outstanding feature of the apartment is the tall ceilings and 7 foot windows. From this second floor apartment, you get a great birds-eye view of the scene on the street.

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!

Graduation trip
It is a cute little apartment on the 2nd floor. We did not use the kitchen to cook, but just spend 4 nights while we stayed busy for the graduation and visiting friends. The location was perfect as we could walk to the church and all things in downtown and to campus. There is a long straight staircase to go upstairs and each steps a bit narrower than nowadays standard. So be aware but I think it’s a building built in 1800’s. I just appreciated the space it offered. Maybe if there were less pillows in the room, it might have been easier to find the place set our bags etc but it’s a very minor thing I noticed (since space is limited somewhat). We enjoyed staying in the apartment!

Hillsdale Visit
Our daughter had a college visit set up at Hillsdale College and we needed a place to stay. The location of this property was very close to campus. There was off street parking as well. The property itself was cozy and the perfect amount of room for my wife, daughter, and I. We really enjoyed our stay.

Clean and convenient
Great value, convenient location, spacious set up. Would stay again. Just a few FYIs - steep stairs to get up/in, Hillsdale's downtown is a bit tricky to navigate and my GPS was laggy so it took two passes to find it, and the daybed is not the most comfortable for sleeping on, but compared to other in town hotel chains that might not be as clean, or staying way out in Coldwater, this was a find!

Charming and well located
The parking could not have been more convenient, and we were able to park right in front of the front door. A steep set of stairs with a sturdy handrail brought us up to the unit. The selling point for us when booking this property was that it is pet friendly. You never know what you will get with that, but we were pleasantly surprised. There were no stains or smells, and our dog was not at all stressed. The host had thoughtfully provided bottled water, and some light snacks, which were greatly appreciated, after a day of travel. Everything was clean, and the bed was comfortable. We would happily stay here again!

Great for Hillsdale College
It was a very quaint apartment. It was decorated nicely and the hostess added several things like coffee pods and donuts to make the stay extra special. The street lights were a bit bright through the windows and there was traffic noise but we enjoyed having a nice place to stay near the college and would book again.

Quaint small town
Quick stop over night as we drove from home to visit family up North. Cozy and enough room for wife myself and dog. Off street parking and walking distances to diner or supper. Only negative is the steep stairs and maybe a more functional couch. Over-all i would say its a perfect little apt. to stay in Hillsdale for a stop.

A great stay!
We had a great stay at the apartment. The apartment was clean, roomy, and comfortable. Being an old building, it was pleasantly quiet. We never heard the other tenants. We had our 2 dogs with us and they were very comfortable in the apartment and was nice that Stocks Park is so close! Look forward to another stay in the future!

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).
