About this property

Our historic 140 year old home is a minutes walk to Downtown Flushing

.Very nice and comfortable house, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen and a comfortable living room. Our house has a 140-years history, so we tried to decorate it in the old style so that you can feel a bit of history, but with all modern amenities. We travel a lot, so we value comfort and style. On the walls of the house you can see photos from Iceland, which is our last fascination.
We invite you to three comfortably furnished bedrooms with king, queen and full size beds. Each is in a different style, each with a wardrobe, table and chairs or comfortable armchairs. In the main bedroom you can watch TV lying in bed, or sit comfortably in an armchair.

You have two bathrooms - on the ground floor and on the first floor.

In the kitchen you will find all the equipment, dishes and appliances to cook, bake or simply make a delicious meal or make coffee. A large fridge will hold all your supplies.
You can eat a meal in the kitchen - at the small, fold-out table or in the dining room - where there is a comfortable place for 6 or 8 people. If you don't like cooking - the nearest restaurant is only 3 minutes' walk - Jacks Place Bowling. Next 5-minute walk to Kathy's Restaurant, Little Caesar's, or a little further is the Flushing 'A' close to Riverview Park (formerly A & W), Skips, and finally the Pour House all within walking distance no more than 10 minutes.

You have a living room with two comfortable sofas, an armchair, and a 50" TV.

On the ground floor there are also laundries - two washing machines and two dryers are enough to quickly wash things after outdoor activities.
If it's cold - you can turn on the heating or fireplace, in summer we have added a new air-conditioning that will help you keep cool.

On the yard - new barbecue grill, patio table with chairs, and deckchairs.

What else do you need to spend your vacation comfortably and peacefully? Write to us and we will try to change our home into a more attractive Vacation Rental By Owner!

Need I say more - this is our 3rd or 4th time staying at Sylwia and Jeff's house and it continues to be a great place for us to stay when we visit family in the area. It is clean and comfortable.

Great Place to Stay
We live near this property but don't have room for overnight guests. So this was a convenient place for my mother-in-law to stay during a recent visit. It was extremely clean and very comfortable and quiet. She enjoyed it! Highly recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house is spacious, well/stocked, close to town and clean. It is within walking distance to town and the park. We were in town for our son’s wedding and the house was perfect! It also has a fenced backyard with a small deck which we found cozy and private. We would certainly stay here again!

Perfect for our needs
I was traveling with 2 young children and 2 small dogs to see family. This was perfect for us! Yard is fenced, had a grill so we were able to invite family over to grill for dinner. Plenty of space and very comfy and hospitable. Glad we were able to book this property!

Despite a small hiccup at the beginning of our stay, the owners did an excellent job to make sure our stay was great. The house stay was excellent for our family needs. This place was quaint and peaceful. I look forward in staying there again for our annual trip to Michigan.

Charming and perfect
We were in Flushing for our brothers funeral, it was comforting to come back to this lovely home to regroup. Perfect for our dogs. Many family and friends stopped by to offer their condolences and the outside accomidated us all! The owners were quick to respond to a TINY issue and corrected it immediately. If we could give ten stars we would!

I grew up in this small town and I don’t get to come home very often. But this was the best stay that I’ve had. The beds were super comfy and we had lots of room for our family to enjoy each other. Close to downtown so you can walk to get food or shop. It’s a great location and super friendly host.

First time Staying, Will definitely return!
This was a very cozy and clean home that accommodated the four of us and our pups so well! We had tickets to see both a Flint Firebirds and Saginaw Spirit game in one weekend as well as spend a day at Frankenmuth and this was the perfect location! It gave us a nice quiet environment with restaurants and shops near by as well as being a central location for all of the places we wanted to visit! Jeffery and Sylwia were extremely friendly and attentive hosts which made the entire process enjoyable as well! We would highly recommend this stay and definitely plan on staying again the next time we visit this location!

About the host

Hosted by Jeffery and Sylwia Lennerth

Host profile image
Sylwia and I met in Oslo Norway in the Winter of 2014 and date for three years before marrying in March of 2017. I grew up just around the corner at 122 N. McKinley street and know the neighborhood very well. Graduating high school from Flushing and eventually moving away to San Antonio, Texas where we make our home.

Sylwia grew up in Wolsztyn, Poland and moved to Wroclaw, Poland for 30 years going to College, raising a family before becoming adventurous moving to Norway were we met.

Why they chose this property


Since moving away from Flushing coming back for family events and reunions if we didn't stay at my Mothers new home in Flint we had to stay at hotels in Flint away from Flushing making it difficult to spend time with friends. Originally I had the idea of purchasing a Condo to rent to friends and classmates that may want to stay in Flushing too. A few years ago a very good friend purchased the home down the street at 129 N. McKinley for him and his family with the same idea as I (I actually found the house and provided the information to my friend!).

First looking at Condominiums from my original idea it became apparent the association agreement were not friendly to setting up a VRBO so then search for a property within walking distance to downtown.

Growing up in this neighborhood in home located around the corner at 122 N. McKinley street from 1960 I really wanted to purchase that home if possible but the owner was reluctant to sell. After finding a property close to St. Roberts that we really wanted fell through, unbelievably this property became available and made the purchase!

It is just so nice to have this property so close to the home I grew up in and still be in the neighborhood where myself and friends knew where every fruit tree and raspberry patch were located! Such beautiful memories and so close to my childhood friends VRBO two houses down the street.

We now have home to come to for family and friends gatherings for a couple of weeks a year and be able to share with my friends or people from across the world that would like to enjoy Flushing too!

Hope you enjoy our home, family photos and our pictures from Iceland through the house!

What makes this property unique

One of only a few homes for rent in beautiful Flushing, Michigan, and a short drive to Frankenmuth and many other close by fun destinations.
