A beautiful, remodeled 130+ year old home in the charming downtown area of Chelsea. Located near the new DTE bike trails, a short walk to downtown, and just minutes from great hiking in the Waterloo Recreation Area. Our home will be spotless and well sanitized for your stay. We provide snacks, water bottles, tea and coffee. If you need any baby or toddler items, we can provide things like a baby gate for the top of the stairs, bed rail, pack n play, high chair, etc. There are some kid safety outlet covers on some plugs. A Christmas tree and tasteful touches are provided for the holiday season.

We remodeled the entire home and kept the character, but blended in with a transitional style. We have a well-stocked kitchen for any cooking needs. We aim to make your stay comfortable and well-stocked, so you get more than a starter pack of supplies for your stay. We have a Smart TV in the family room that has a Netflix account for the house. There are 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom upstairs and 1 bedroom and 1 shared bathroom on the main level. The queen bedroom on the main level has a door to a handicap accessible bathroom.

Outside, there is a gas grill, an outdoor fireplace along with string lights on a timer and a play area for kids. We can provide secure bike storage in our shed for those biking in the area. You can walk from our backyard to the Clock Tower area, Grateful Crow or Jet's Pizza, and downtown to explore several fun shops and yummy food options.

“Cozy home away from home”
My daughter and I were in Chelsea for medical treatment for an extended period. It was so wonderful to come home to such a warm and inviting home each afternoon. We had everything we needed at our fingertips, comfortable beds, great showers and kitchen and a spacious living area. Karessa was very welcoming and quick to respond if we needed help with anything. I'd highly recommend this lovely family home to anyone wanting somewhere handy to Chelsea township.

Karessa's place is great--very clean and comfortable. My 3 sisters and I stayed in Chelsea for a long weekend of shopping , eating and visiting and we felt right at home in this cute house. The location is great for downtown activities and the neighborhood is friendly and quiet. The kitchen is well-stocked with all the essentials. Check in and check out are quick and easy and Karessa is a great communicator. We'd stay here again. Highly recommend.

Karessa's place was incredible. extremely clean and well decorated, gave it a very homey feel. Lots of amenities as well, the first floor bedroom and bathroom was a great feature for my in-laws who have trouble with stairs. The children's room with 2 separate beds and toys was a hit with the kids. The place was spotless and instructions were very clearly provided. would not hesitate to stay again.

Like the other reviews say, the house was very nice. The kitchen was the most completely equipped of anywhere we've stayed. We had a problem that the host handled quickly and fairly. I would mention that if you have mobility issues 3 of the 4 bedrooms are up a stairs which is a bit narrow and steep.
