GO BLUE when you visit UMICH at The Blue Arbor

Step into history at The Blue Arbor, a beautifully preserved 19th-century colonial home tucked into Ann Arbor's beloved Kerrytown neighborhood. As one of the oldest homes in the city, this historic gem actually predates Ann Arbor's official records — and has been quietly collecting stories ever since. The space Throughout its long life, The Blue Arbor has worn many hats. It has served as a single-family home, a duplex, and even a music school where countless students once practiced scales and sonatas within its walls. Today, it's been lovingly restored to its original purpose: a cherished single-family residence — and a one-of-a-kind home away from home for travelers seeking something with real character. What makes The Blue Arbor so special isn't just its age — it's the personality. Steep staircases, gently crooked floors, and original architectural details give the home a charm you simply can't find in a modern build or cookie-cutter rental. Every creak and corner tells a story. Yet inside, you'll find all the comforts you expect from a luxury vacation rental: four thoughtfully designed bedrooms with premium queen mattresses and fresh linens, a fully stocked kitchen, a curated coffee and tea bar, high-speed Wi-Fi, and elegantly appointed living spaces designed for relaxation. Outside, a spacious tailgate area with a Blackstone grill makes the home a favorite for University of Michigan game-day weekends, family reunions, girls' getaways, and milestone celebrations. And the location couldn't be better — you're a short stroll from Zingerman's Deli, the boutiques and restaurants of Kerrytown, downtown Ann Arbor, and just a leisurely two-mile walk to the Big House. The Blue Arbor isn't just a place to sleep. It's a chance to live, even briefly, inside a piece of Ann Arbor history — with all the modern luxuries that make a stay truly unforgettable. We hope you'll fall for her quirks the way we have. STR25-6476 Guest access The entire property is for you to enjoy. You will be given a personalized door code prior to check in.
