We are located just three short blocks west of Main street, in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor, walking distance from virtually everything our beautiful city has to offer!

Our breakfasts vary by day and by season. We offer primarily organic, locally made and sourced food, such as our breads and pastries from 
Crustbakery, fresh milled oatmeal from The Grainery in Kalamazoo, MI, and glass bottled milk from Calder's Dairy. Breakfasts can range from the simple, handmade granola and fresh yogurt, to homemade French toast or bagels and lox, as the season dictates. We will always make every effort to accommodate guests dietary restrictions and practices.

What Our Guests Are Saying...

Sarah has two houses for the Inn, and I stayed at the Washington. I enjoyed the beautiful home, kitchen, garden, and the hospitality of Sarah and her kind neighbors. It was tough to leave!


Stacie V | TraipAdvisor

We rented the master suite for our honeymoon night. We were greeted with cheer, welcomed to a clean and well stocked room, and given complete privacy - sarah stays in a separate space outside of the main home. The king bed, large tub, decor, and furnishings were exceptional. Breakfast was equally great with a luxurious spread and pleasant conversation with Sarah and her friendly labrador gus. 5 star experience

Fabulous house with endlessly interesting things to look at. The hostess was very accommodating and there was plenty, varied food. It was quiet, private and an excellent location. Highly recommend it.
