A group of local friends rented to have a place to gather and stay together. We had just what we needed and we're able to enjoy local restaurants and events.

Fantastic location in downtown Lansing with a lot of room. There is a queen bedroom with private bath, 2 full beds in a loft area overlooking the kitchen/living (bar area) and an additional bedroom with 2 twin beds. Linens/bedding/pillows were exceptional and we felt right at home. Excellent stay, great decor and amenities. Highly recommend going to Coffee on the River! Love everything about this rental and will definitely rebook.
