About this property

Fenced Downtown Douglas Home near Water | Hot Tub

Slip into the steaming hot tub, gather around the fire pit as evening falls, and wake up to coffee on a screened porch that feels like a well-kept secret. Welcome to Chestnut House - one of Airbnb's Guest Favorites in Douglas. Stay near the sand! This Douglas, MI getaway is a short drive or easy bike ride from pristine Douglas Beach and world-renowned Oval Beach.

The Chestnut House, built in 1871 and freshly renovated with genuine care, is the rare kind of place that feels both timeless and deeply comfortable. Original character is everywhere - the creak of old floorboards, tall windows flooding every room with natural light, the satisfying weight of a home loved for over 150 years. The renovation enhanced all of that without erasing any of it.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We stayed at the 1871 Chestnut House with friends to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary. The house was amazing! They did a fantastic job of mixing updated decor with period character in a beautiful craftsman home. The amenities were superior and included everything that we needed. The communication was excellent and the check-in / check-out process was a breeze. We can't wait to return.

The house has been restored very nicely and the furniture and the accessories are unique. The kitchen is outfitted with everything you need, and they even provided laundry detergent, toiletries, paper towels, etc. I would say that the windows and the windowsills could use a little attention, they could be cleaner. I would also recommend something in the bottom of the tub upstairs because it is slick when showering. We did not bring a pet but if you did, there were so many amenities included for your furry friend. The beds were very comfortable and overall the house was extremely clean. We would definitely rent the house again.
