The Original House at Michigan Stadium

This house was originally located less than two blocks away, inside of Michigan Stadium. In 1926, the state of Michigan acquired the home through eminent domain and moved it to make way for the Big House. With its maize paint, blue trim, close proximity and historical significance to the University of Michigan (former tenant Woody Malloy, who won the national golf championship for U-M in 1935, was born here), you won't find a location with more school spirit anywhere in Ann Arbor. The space Our house made way for the Big House. What could be more Michigan than that? This single family home, built in 1905, was originally located two blocks away, on the site where Michigan Stadium now sits (in what's now Section 1 in the east stands). In 1926, it was moved to its current location so Michigan Stadium could be built. In 2008 the house was remodeled and modernized with an open floor plan, new kitchen and appliances, baths, gas fireplace, and entertainment system. The four upstairs bedrooms will sleep up to eight guests, but we recommend six (the rooms are most comfortable with two couples and two singles). Parking is limited to four vehicles in the driveway, and parking is not allowed on the yards. Guests must comply with Ann Arbor's 10 pm noise ordinance, which means no outdoor parties between 10 pm and 7 am. Large tailgate parties are NOT ALLOWED on the premises, but you may set up a tent at nearby Allmendinger Park if you want to invite friends who are not staying at the house. Guest access The main floor consists of a large open kitchen, family room, and half bath. In addition, there are four upstairs bedrooms (the master bedroom has its own bathroom with shower), and the other guests have access to a full size shared bathroom with tub and shower. Other things to note Hosting large parties is not allowed (except for corporate rentals that do not include overnight stays). If you would like to host an event for groups larger than our maximum occupancy of 7, we ask that you please search for another location that allows parties. STR21-2308
