“A welcoming home-stay with a big-hearted host!”
The breakfast was exceptional -- Kathleen is clearly a foodie, and prepares a lovely varied meal with fresh local ingredients every morning. She was very warm and made me (and the other guest) feel at home, in the best sense of that phrase (if only my own home was quite as comfortable as hers! :-) She's also happy to chat (if you have time) -- in my short time there I learned a fair bit about the town through her lived experience, but also very solicitous of your privacy if you want it (and can tell the difference without being told :-)

Kathleen is just a wonderful host, the location is great, it’s very homey and welcoming. The breakfasts she makes are delicious. Great B&B to experience the true Ann Arbor.

A lots of thanks to Kathleen for giving our family such a perfect and memorable vacation. From the comfortable bed and peaceful neighborhood to the absolutely flawless breakfasts, every part of our stay was a true delight. Starting each day with warm hospitality, delicious food, and engaging conversation—shared with her and her other guests—was one of the highlights of our trip. We were amazed that in ten days, not a single breakfast was repeated! Each one was beautifully prepared and thoughtfully presented. The recommendations for local sights and activities were incredibly helpful, and her kindness in supporting us throughout our stay made everything smoother and more enjoyable. If you’ll visit Ann Arbor, staying at Baxter isn’t just a great option—it’s truly the best choice.

Great building with great rooms. Spacious with great facilities. Everything is well considered and super clean. It’s quiet and the dawn chorus is one of the best I have ever witnessed. The house is in the middle of Kerrytown home to Zingerman’s Deli, Casey’s Tavern, the Weekend farmers market and Miss Kim’s. Equally it’s only a few more minute from downtown Ann Arbor home to Sam’s clothing company for those who like classy classics, Literati book store, excellent coffee at Blom Mead and Cider and exquisite small plates at restaurant Spencer

Very central - close to Ann Arbor train station and UoM main campus and hence most bus connections. Breakfast is served every day - individually.
