Photos and Description of the Ann Arbor vacation house rental
2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, sleeps 8

Wow, literally the best seats in the Big House! Even if you don't go to the game, listen as the crowed roars and the band plays.

What a great way to be more then a tourist, see the city from a 'townie' perspective. Everyone knows Zingerman's, but do you know about Knights Steak House? Or paddle boating at Gallup park???

This is a newly converted rental. The home was built in 1860, but everything is updated and new.

Walk back in time to the Historic Plank Road Toll House. Luxuriously appointed with all new furniture and plush linens.

Simply stroll across Main St to see the game, then return to the best tailgating location in town! Be the envy of all fans. Great view of the stadium from the front porch and from the suite itself.

Fantastic location for families visiting their children at the University. An affordable option for longer term stays for visiting faculty.

Enjoy all Ann Arbor has to offer from this lovely, historic home. Featuring a queen bed in one bedroom, a full bed in the second bedroom and two additional rooms with convertible bedding. Three off street parking spots provided free of charge!

There is a fully equipped, eat-in kitchen, a dining room and office area as well as a bonus room on the main floor with a full size futon. There is a a giant heated garage with satellite TV for use during tailgates.

Innkeeper Sarah is a life long Ann Arbor resident and loves to share her knowledge of the quirky little unknown spots that will make your stay in Ann Arbor truly a unique, unforgettable experience.

Great Place With An Even Better Owner!

5 of 5
Submitted: April 26, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
Anyone coming to Ann Arbor or the area needs to check this place out. The home has everthing you will need, every detail has been thought out.

Came to town and used this place because of its central location. Owner went above and beyond to help us out as we were traveling overnight with a yound child. If you are U of M fan or a fan of a rival Big Ten School you have to rent this place for your Saturday game. The garage is great, the heated area was a big hit for our sons birthday parth.

Everyone who visted was so impressed, do not be afraid to rent this place you will not be disappointed.

My family stayed three weeks at this home, and we wanted to stay longer. We instantly felt right at home, with all the amenities (including a high chair!) We couldn't have asked for a better location for taking in the Ann Arbor culture. Sarah was always available to us it seemed, and answered any questions we had very quickly. We would definitely reccommend this home to anyone looking for a warm, comfortable place to stay in Ann Arbor.

The PERFECT spot for a Michigan Game weekend!

5 of 5
Submitted: November 19, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
We were a large group visiting Ann Arbor for the weekend and had an absolutely fantastic stay. The pictures don't lie, the location is incredible - literally 30 seconds walk to enter the Big House! It was our first time attending a game at the Big House and it was better than we could have imagined. Sarah was an incredible host. Her house is in fantastic shape and comfortable sleeps a larger group with futons and/or a sleeping bag or two. The backyard and front yard space are tremendous for tailgating atmosphere and the three parking spots you get on game-day would cost $120, easily. 5 stars without hesitation! Thanks for everything Sarah.
Owner's Response: Thanks Justin, I'm glad your first experience at the Big House was such a roaring success. Thank you for taking the time to review the Tollhouse! Sarah

Excellent stay...thanks

Submitted: October 23, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
Description says it all. Picture says it all. In the shadow of the scoreboard of The Big House. Great tailgate spot. Also, a lot easier walk to downtown than we expected. 10 - 20 minute walk to anything we wanted on Campus or just downtown. Cannot think of anything I would change. Sarah (owner) was extremely helpful with information both leading up to our stay and while we were there. Always answers e-mails quickly. Had lots of suggestions for us.
Have used VRBO for many properties and in many cities, this was as good as any experience we've had, in fact better. Cannot stress enough how great the location to the stadium and the tailgate experience because of this is...this makes this house unbelieveable for game days. As stated, locations works well for entire Campus as well...Would be the first place I consider next time I come to A2
Thanks again Sarah...you're a great host!
