Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in East Lansing

The host was thoughful and stocked the fridge and pantry with applies, snacks, evey some milk. The convenience of washer and drier next to fridge was appreciated--newish machines, not from the 70s. Plenty of plates, pans, bowls--encouraged us to eat in. Small but cute balcony, great for mornings and sunset. Nice old tile in bathroom (but faucet is modern), lots of towels, can take a bath. The bedroom is larger than the picture shows--it includes a couch and a working table. So, you can use a laptop there or you can be at the kitchen table where two people have room for laptops. Lots of drawers and a closet with lots of hangers. This 3-room mini-house occupying the second floor of a beautiful old house that is central to a great neighborhood and not far from the capitol (and history museum--I will be going back). My wife is a little concerned about hauling luggage up the wooden stairway, I carry it for her, but we aging people need to match lodgings with our comforts.

Alayne was super responsive to my questions. The house is awesome. We had plenty of space to spread out. Loved the huge backyard and fire pit. Thank you so much.

Stayed at Alyssa’s for a weekend, great location and awesome house! Well decorated and cozy, Alyssa was a very responsive host :)

The house was beautiful, spacious and clean. It was easy to get to and was in the middle of everything we needed. I recommend staying here. It was so peaceful and the backyard was so nice.

Our stay with Eric and Kimberly was possibly my best Airbnb experience ever! Not only was the property itself spotless, safe, and comfortable, but Eric and Kimberly went above and beyond to make the stay exceptional! They were extremely responsive and flexible in their communication, and they also had snacks, waters, and a lovely graduation gift and card for me upon arrival! I can honestly recommend this listing for anyone looking for a great place to stay in Lansing--it is conveniently located near downtown and the MSU campus, but far enough that you avoid the congestion and craziness, especially of campus. Great for families and, although we were all adults, it looks like Eric and Kimberly had everything set up to make the stay comfortable for kids, too! I would happily stay here again. Thank you, Eric and Kimberly!

Annette’s home was the perfect place for my family as we celebrated my mom’s 70th birthday. The space was clean, spacious, and welcoming for all ages. The beds were super comfortable, the carpet was plush, and the air hockey table was a fun bonus! Annette communicated clearly and made sure we had everything we needed. I’d absolutely stay here again—she truly made us feel at home.

Our sons wedding was up the road and this was a perfect house for our family. Grandsons loved the games and swing set in the backyard. Wish we would have had more time to feed the fish in the pond and use the hot tub. Linda’s house was spotless and it was nice to have such a beautiful place to come back to at the end of the long days.

We stayed here for a 3 day course we needed to attend in Lansing. I saw this location and jumped on it even though it was 36 minutes from our class. Very beautiful stay! I was so excited to explore the old church as it has been my lifelong dream to convey an old church into a home. Unfortunately, I misunderstood as there is no access to the actual sanctuary from the air bnb. No matter! The furnishings of the stay are artistic and tasteful. I'm a huge fan of old architecture and the woodwork and art accents are extremely well placed. Take note, there are extra individual charges per person. I had not experienced this before and was a little surprised when it cost an extra 50 for two coworkers to stay one night when it got too late for them to drive back to Kalamazoo. But the host was responsive and understanding when I accidentally rented a movie under her Amazon (I paid her back). I felt so bad, so don't be like me- always remember to logout/login when using shared media! 😄

Homely and beautiful apartment, centrally located and responsive host. It was a great two weeks stay and highly recommend for family stay.

Samatha was kind and accommodating for us as we came to town for a family wedding. Her response time was super quick when i had a question. The house was clean, spacious, and felt like home. We loved the little homey touches. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was large and worked perfectly for our group. It was stocked with all the essentials. Ice maker in the freezer was a bonus. The living room furniture was comfortable. Being there multiple days, the laundry and dryer came in handy. We were inpressed with even after each of us showering there was still hot water. 1.5 bathrooms worked fine for our group. We loved having the trader joes soaps available. Although we didn't have much down time to take advange of all offered, there was a nice variety of books, a few cook books, lots of games, swing outside, free streaming services on the tv. Some of the family really enjoyed the walking trail near by. You felt like we were in the country but only a few minutes from town. Loved it!

Great spot next to Sparrow Hospital. I stayed here because it was walking distance for STOOPFEST 2025. Clean, good AC, private, safe. Everything you could ask for in an AirBNB and more!

This is our second time staying at this place. We returned because we had a very pleasant stay last time. Needless to say, our stay this time was very pleasant and peaceful as well. The host, Caitlyn, is also super responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone who would like to live a 10 min drive away from East Lansing!!

I had such a wonderful stay at this place! It was a perfect location - close to MSU and shopping, it had a gorgeous yard and artwork, and it was SO CLEAN. Communication was great, and it was nice to briefly meet the owner and the dogs. :) As the description states, it is a basement so you will hear the family moving about upstairs. That said, it was not bothersome for me, the space is very private, and I was able to relax and get work done during times I was not visiting campus. This is one of the nicest airbnb homes I've stayed in, and I would absolutely return. Thank you!

It was a beautiful loft, with a lot of character. You can tell Aura puts a lot of effort into making a livable space for prospective Air BnBers.

Boy, did we luck out!! This was our first time staying at an Air BnB and having Katharyn and Teresa as our hosts, we hit the lotto. Our stay was better than we could have ever imagined. They have thought of EVERYTHING you may need or want in the apartment which was spotless and nicely decorated . Katharyn and Teresa were very commutative, from check in to check out, the whole process could not have been easier. It is located around the corner from my daughter's house which makes it the perfect location for us, but it would be great for anyone visiting the hospital , across the street, or MSU. It is close to downtown Lansing were we watched a baseball game, we even walked to one of our favorite restaurants from the apartment. We will definitely be staying there again.

This basement apartment was perfect for our stay while visiting our MSU daughter. Kitchen is well stocked with everything we could have needed, and the welcome snacks were perfect after a long travel day. Hubby is 6’2” and cleared the ductwork with 1/4” to spare. :) We would stay here again!

Gretchen's place was awesome! She had everything we need and more for a relaxing stay. I always judge a place by bedding and towels...she spent the extra money and it makes a big difference! We used the rental as a meeting place when we were all in town for our mother's funeral. We could have used a few more outdoor chairs but that's it. We will stay here again. Thank you Gretchen!

Spacious one bedroom condo. Nice bathrooms, good water pressure. Great location- walkable grocery/market and coffee shop below. Cute downtown restaurants. View of stadium and capitol building. It was the perfect location for our visit to MSU- less than 10 minutes to campus.

enjoyed the room great area able to walk to downtown no issues l.

This was a wonderful stay! My boyfriend and I were in town for a couple of days and it was the perfect place. This level of attention to detail is something that many other places lack, so I was grateful for such a great experience. The bed is comfortable and there are blackout blinds, both ensuring a great night of sleep. Definitely stay here and check out HopCat’s for a laid back dinner option with great food! I’d stay here again and again if I could :)
