About this place

Charming Retreat in Downtown Chelsea 4 Br 2 Ba

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.
