KT2 Downtown Ann Arbor/Kerrytown Love Nest
Ann Arbor Guest House is located in the heart of Ann Arbor's Historic Kerrytown District. This exclusive and private residence is on the second floor of a approximately 170 year old home surrounded by antique perennials. We are across from Kerrytown Shops and Market and the famed Kerrytown Farmer's Market (open Wednesdays & Saturdays in season). The area is vibrant with life and activity. With the Kerrytown Concert House next door, classical and jazz music often escapes their confines and fills the Guest House! We renovated this Guesthouse in February 2018 after being open since 2003. At that time we upgraded new paint, new carpet, new bed, new draperies and window coverings, new kitchen appliances and more! The charm of this house keeps regulars, such as parents of kids at U of M or those coming for football weekends coming back. It becomes their home away from home. We have housed many professors for short and extended stays or couples come to escape their work-a-day world in search of a little peace and quiet from the kids and a night on the town. We lovingly call this our "Love Nest"!

This was a great place to stay! Fantastic location by a lot of shopping and really walking distance to other places on Main St too! We plan on going back in the summer and hope that we can stay here again!

Great location for anything downtown and in Kerrytown—with a parking spot! Overall, this charming spot worked nicely for my Ann Arbor-born and raised husband and I plus my mom to stay while we visited family for Thanksgiving. We wish the beds were a bit softer, especially the futon, but we managed just fine.
When in Ann Arbor make sure to visit the Kerrytown Farmers Market, the Michigan Theater, and Knights for a meal and stiff drink.

The location was great. An easy walk to most places and nice to have Kerrytown market next door. It's an older building so there a quirks, but it was a perfect place to relax on my business trip. Very clean and had everything I needed.

We were in and out for Parent's Weekend and this spot was walkable to all the places we needed to be.
Instructions were clear and responses from the host (check in and out) were responded to quickly. Bonus - the year-round farmer's market is located just across the street - it was wonderful to wander through Sat morning!

Nina was extremely responsive and helpful when I was planning the NYE trip, which required me to bring my small dog. The place was quaint and in a great location downtown.

This is hands down the best stay we've had in Ann Arbor. Right across from Kerrytown and incredibly cozy, we woke each morning and walked to Zingermans to get phenomenal prosciutto pastries and coffee. A perfect getaway.

My wife and stayed here while in town for the Dexter-Ann Arbor Half Marathon. Excellent location, plenty to keep you busy within walking distance. Very close to bus pick up for the race. Space was clean and communication with Nina via the app was convenient with prompt replies.
Definitely would stay again.

The place was exactly as pictured, the host really thought of every little thing we might need, and the location was great. We were able to walk all around Kerrytown, to downtown Ann Arbor, and onto the U of Michigan campus. Lots of restaurant options for any diet.
