Great stay!

Cate's home was a perfect home base for my family to attend a wedding in the Battle Creek area. There was more than enough space for all of us and the location was convenient for all the wedding activities. You can tell that Cate cares for her guests with all the comforts of home that are provided. Thanks Cate!!

Darling retreat with family

We were cozy and comfortable in this well-equipped, sweetly decorated, spacious home. The perfect place to stay while we visited family in the area, and hosted several for a backyard dinner. We loved the home’s character and appreciated the amenities, such as toiletries and a vast array of coffee and tea. Cate was a welcoming hostess, and very responsive by text. Would definitely stay here again!

A quaint home for some family fun.

The owner, Cate, is a gem. She brought us treats from the bakery as a surprise. The backyard is such a peaceful place for morning coffee or afternoon wine. The kids enjoyed running around out there. The kitchen was fully stocked and set to cook and enjoy a nice meal. Comfy beds. Close to hiking. And affordable, which we very much appreciate.

Cozy and cute home

The house was nice very clean and tidy. Lots of space for 6 people. There is no privacy in the shower however felt a little exposed as there’s no privacy glass for your upper half. Also the air conditioning was set way too high for in the summer. Loved the stereo (might have to get myself one) thankful for the bacon and eggs that was a nice surprise. Notice that there’s a fire pit would have been nice so we could have brought some firewood. But overall really enjoyed the stay

Thanks for the feedback. I wish you had let me know about the temperature In the house, I would have been happy to adjust it for you or tell you how to adjust for your comfort. I’ve never had that feedback about the shower but I’ll look at changing that as well. Thanks for letting me know your thoughts.

First time's a charm!

I had been looking for days lodging for my mother and I in the Battle Creek area. I had all but given up hope when I stumbled upon Cate's listing. It was more room than we needed, but looked adorable and was in a great location. We were fortunate to be the first guests in this new listing, and we were not disappointed! The home is an older home with all the charm of a historic home. The furnishings are a mix of period and modern - and all very comfortable. Cate really has thought of everything to ensure a comfortable stay. I cannot recommend this listing high enough. Do yourself a favor - book!
