Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Hillsdale County

Place was beautiful and very clean! Will definitely stay again!

Sue was a delight to work with! As someone who books contractors often, she was by far the best. From one of my contractors: The Arbor View is my absolute favorite place to stay in Hillsdale! As a contractor for the college for the past six years, I’ve tried out all sorts of local hotels, BnBs, and student housing, but none of them come close to the cleanliness, comfort, and convenience of The Arbor View. It’s like having my own little slice of home away from home! One of the many amazing things about The Arbor View is its fully stocked kitchen. I could easily cook and store food for the week to save money and avoid eating out all the time. The amenities included a basket full of yummy snacks, bottled water, and high-quality coffee and tea. The entire house was spotless, and the décor, bedding, and towels were all top-notch. There were several areas throughout the house to work on my laptop with fast internet. I especially enjoyed a few deer sightings in the backyard yard.

My stay in Emma's home was amazing. The word I kept coming back to was "sanctuary." While clearly an older home, everything was immaculately clean, freshly painted, and more than thoughtfully stocked with anything I might have needed in bathroom or kitchen. Towels were fluffy and the furniture was super comfy. All in all a tremendous blessing to stay in this home. We were so thankful to find it for the price that we did and hope we might be able to return. Thank you, Emma for your hospitality!

Brian and Linda were excellent hosts. Linda and Brian prepared a wonderful breakfast each morning and joined all the guests for great discussions and helpful hints about our visit to Hillsdale College. I wish I had their green thumb to bring back to Texas. We will definitely stay with them again and recommend them to anyone visiting Hillsdale

Had stayed here once before. Beautiful location, relaxing home.

Thistle House is bigger inside than it looks. The layout is inefficient: long walk from bedroom to bathroom-- 2 total in the house, but strangely right next to each other--and wasted space downstairs (esp. main bathroom). All of that, including the narrow, enclosed, back-hallway-like staircase and creaky floors lend to its old-time charm, though. There are modern appliances (e.g., refrigerator, stove/oven, washer/dryer, large TV) but no dishwasher. The heat is also inefficient. Downstairs seemed fine, but Jennifer had (correctly) warned us that upstairs where the bedrooms are would be chilly. Heating fans were available in each, but we opted just to pile on blankets, which she also had several of around the house. The only bed we tried (queen in the front room) was comfortable. That walk-in closet had lots of hangers we could use. We were pleased to be a short drive from campus in a safe neighborhood and in a house obviously well loved and cared for. We would stay here again.

The house was very clean, spacious, and had everything- and then some!- that we needed. There was even a helpful business card for a local dispensary. The location was amazing, very peaceful and beautiful. We saw an eagle, two heron, and two geese families as soon as we turned onto the road before we even got to the house! Definitely bring your own kayak- that's the only regret I have.

We love the cottage and all it has to offer. We had everything we needed. There was plenty of space… beautiful views, and we really enjoyed our time there with the family. We love Long Lake and plan to return as soon as we are able.

My wife and I stayed at Chris’s apartment for a wedding in Adrian, MI, and it was a perfect retreat. Arriving at 9PM after a long travel day, we settled in easily. The next morning revealed a peaceful country setting—quiet, with birds singing, ideal for coffee outdoors. The apartment was clean, as pictured, with a well-equipped kitchen (coffee maker, stove, microwave, fridge, dishes) and a spotless bathroom with ample towels. The bed was comfy, wifi reliable, and it’s just 20 minutes from Adrian. Chris was friendly but unobtrusive. Highly recommend!

This place was everything we needed!!! The location was perfect because it was so close to the Waterloo Hunt Club for our horse show. The inside is recently updated and has everything it listed, even a keurig! This home is on the water and give you assess to the dock for fishing, has a fire pit, beautiful patio and a great grill-eating area including a large picnic table. The 1.5 bathrooms was nice when we were all getting ready in the morning. It’s a quiet area so easy ins and outs. Just overall excellent and so comfortable! Will come back for sure when we have our next horse show!

My stay was the perfect peaceful reset. I needed a weekend away and Deborah made me feel comfortable and welcome. I would love to come back and spend more time at lake etc.

We had a wonderful stay at Patrice’s place. It was the perfect location for catching a show at the Franke Center. Patrice was welcoming and kind and she left many thoughtful touches to enhance our visit. We adored the warm and eclectic decor around the apartment. We highly recommend this rental for a comfortable stay in Marshall!

I had no issues upon arrival entering the space. Easy, clear cut directions. Space is clean, tidy and perfect for a weekend getaway. Hot tub was nice with a great view of the lake. I felt comfortable staying here. I would visit again.

This is an especially hip loft with great access to downtown. It is spacious and very comfortable. The only consideration is that the main bedroom is open at the top, so if sound bleed is an issue, this may not be your spot. Otherwise this was one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had.

such a detailed, friendly space! stayed for a wedding weekend and it had anything you could need from an iron to all the extra toiletries. Plus was so relaxing and cozy. our host personalized recommendations too, would definitely recommend if you're looking for an adventure or for a place to crash in the beautiful Irish hills.

We stayed during the off season but I have to imagine this place is amazing during the summer. We had a great time. Beautiful view of the lake.
