Celebrated my 45th birthday and had a nice little getaway in October of 2023!
My husband and I came out to seek the Niles, MI 50th haunted houses Anniversary. Usually we stay at a hotel in Niles, MI but Notre Dame was having a home game so the hotels were ridiculously overpriced! So therefore I started searching for a close by VRBO. Nina had the perfect little place for us! Cozy, clean, warm and cute! Perfect and just exactly what we needed for our 2 day trip in October! A wonderful trip/ getaway/ birthday to remember! :-)

Perfect for intimate getaway!
This was a special treat for me and my husband. The atmosphere in this home was breath taking. The craftmanship and décor gives one the feeling of a coastal getaway. Yes, it is a tiny house within the confines of a garage. Genius! Who knew one could make such a cool and peaceful place while creating a warm and welcoming feeling all at the same time. Clean, perfectly decorated with love and care. This is a couple's getaway for sure, cozy, and intimate, yet roomy enough for two big oldies like me and my husband. We will stay again.

Nice, little, clean space.
The owner was very accommodating from start to finish. We asked before arrival if there was an electrical outlet on the exterior close to the driveway. We had our fishing boat and needed to charge our batteries. When we arrived she had strung a cord and it was hanging on the fence for us to use. As we entered the space it was refreshing to find everything neatly done and very clean. The Murphy bed was awesome! The loft is tight. I am still in disbelief that my son and I both took a turn sleeping up there. I am 6’1 and 220 lbs and my son is both taller and heavier. The day after our stay I received a text from the owner asking if we had left some shirts and if we would like her to send them to us. I replied yes, and in a few days I received them in the mail folded, packaged nicely and they smelled like she had washed them. Thank you Doris for being such a great hostess. This is a nice, little, clean space. Yes, we would stay again.

If you don't mind tight places, it was fine. We spent two nights and it worked out well for us. Probably wouldn't have wanted to spend much longer.

Labor Day Weekend.
Beautiful little room with loft with amazing engineering. Reminded me of a camper as far as the space saving techniques used, very innovative and interesting. The online pictures made it look larger than it was. We were a bit surprised by how small it was, but adapted quickly and ended up enjoying it. Access to the door was restricted by an outside wall decoration, a narrow walkway and a hard right turn. I am 6'4" 280lbs so the access might not be as much of a problem for someone who is average height and weight. We would definately stay again. Great experience!

Cute Space
Cute little space, nicely decorated and well supplied. Having a comfortable chair to sit on instead of the benches with cushions would have made the stay a bit better. The Murphy bed is very easy to use and extremely comfortable. There is a very nice fire pit with seats outdoors, but I forgot my firewood so didn't use it. Location is near many vineyards and orchards and about 20 minutes from hiking and swimming but there isn't much to do in the direct vicinity and what is open closes early. Best for 1 or 2 adults, not much space for kids.

Not Safe
I appreciate Nina’s attempt to make use of every available inch of half of her garage to create a mini-apartment. However, more time should have been spent on things like how to escape a fire than how to squeeze pillows under rafters in a loft and call them beds. This space has no windows, no air conditioning, no heat that we could find, and a cracked and broken outlet in the bathroom. There is one exit, and the door is difficult to enter with luggage or a child due to a very close fence. It does not sleep 4, and in fact doesn’t even sit four. And while the gift bag of snacks was a nice touch, including Christian prayer books felt inappropriate to practicing members of a different faith. This space would make a very cute guest room for a family member, but is not safe to rent to the public.

Hottest night of my life.
This property is a converted one car garage, has no air conditioning or windows to open. Does have a ceiling fan. One bed folds down to take up all space, and if you need more sleeping space it’s among the garage rafters. My inquiry into why it wasn’t listed as having no ac was met with, “I didn’t check that box on the amenities.” If I owned this property I’d make sure, maybe in bold letters I noted there’s no windows or ac. On a positive, after a day of trying to figure out the refund, she did do so. That I appreciate. Wait for cooler weather if you’re considering this location.

Cute and Cozy
We stayed at the Nina's studio loft while visiting my son who recently moved to the area. The space is cleverly designed to make the most of the space. Nina put a lot of attention to detail and to guests comfort. The murphy bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed sitting by the firepit one night. One note: the space was very warm when we arrived, but we ran the ceiling for a while and left the screen door open to cool the place. Nina said it will updated with an a/c unit. I would stay here again.

Great host, great location, great cozy space.
Nina is an amazing host, with great location near several winery's including Lemon creek winery and not too far from Weko beach. The space is well decorated, very cozy and perfect for couples or 2 people to share a comfortable Murphy bed and a nice small upper level nook and has everything you need to cook or warm up food, but the best part is the full bathroom, which might look small but is a great size and does not feel cramped . Hope to come back soon. Thanks for everything Nina.
