About this bed and breakfast

River Rock Guest House

River Rock Guest House is tucked on a quiet road at the edge of Delhi Metropark, with riverfront parks, trails, and natural areas steps away. The Huron River and Border-to-Border Trail inspire walking, biking, and outdoor adventures while remaining minutes from Ann Arbor, Dexter, and Chelsea.

Enjoy the best of both worlds: a peaceful, nature-inspired setting with convenient access to the many attractions of the Ann Arbor area. River Rock Guest House is an easy home base for University of Michigan events, including games and concerts at the Big House, campus visits, family gatherings, and everything Ann Arbor has to offer. Explore local restaurants, shops, and cultural attractions, or check out the nearby villages of Dexter and Chelsea for their unique charm, dining, and outdoor experiences.



The Home

This 1,200-square-foot private guest house features its own separate entrance and dedicated parking for up to three vehicles.

Private Backyard Haven

Step outside into your own private backyard haven, a landscaped garden surrounded by mature trees and illuminated with warm evening lighting. Enjoy your morning coffee on the deck, relax with a good book in the garden, gather around the fire pit on the brick patio, or simply listen to the birds and river wildlife.

With comfortable seating on the deck and around the fire pit, the backyard offers a peaceful place to reconnect, unwind, and enjoy the natural beauty of the Ann Arbor area after a day of exploring.



The Lodge

Furnished with a comfortable queen sleeper sofa, this room offers additional flexibility for families, couples, or groups traveling together.

River Rock Guest House was perfect for our stay in Ann Arbor. We were visiting family and so grateful to be close, but have our own space. The guest house was meticulously clean, the furnishing and kitchen were beautiful and spacious. It had everything we needed. The outdoor space was serene. It is out in the country but still close to town; 10 min to restaurants grocery stores and coffee shops. We will definitely look to stay again when we come to town.

I love my entire stay... the host was SUPER nice, very accommodating. The property is stunning, right across the street from a small river. I wish I had reviewed the listing more thoroughly as I'd have rented a few extra days to go kayaking and enjoying the river. The inside was immaculate - super cute and inviting. We actually wanted to spend time there rather than just exploring the city and coming back to fall asleep. We spent a lot of time in the back yard around the fire pit just talking. The whole ambiance of this property was stunning. The pictures do not lie, it's GORGEOUS. Parking was also super easy! I literally have NOTHING negative to say, it was a 10/10 experience!

I was a vendor for the Ann Arbor Art Fair and found Terry’s place to be a good home base for us. It was a little farther from town than I originally wanted, but it turned out to be just fine. It was nice to have the quiet after the noise of the event and to be near the river where we could take a walk. The walking path is so nice to enjoy.The house is cute, in very good shape, updated and nicely appointed. The layout worked well for our needs. Terry was a very good communicator and got back with me quickly when I had questions. Since we were gone all day, returning late, and only ate breakfast there so I don’t know what cooking amenities are available.Since we had trouble visualizing the parking situation initially, the driveway is paved and three cars wide. As a guest, you park in a line along the right side. Or in our case, our SUV pulling a trailer. No trees to worry about when opening doors.We found a wonderful restaurant in Dexter, which is always a plus when traveling. I especially enjoyed hearing the 11PM train each evening. It’s not loud, just close enough by. We definitely found River Rock Guest House to be a gem and wished we could’ve stayed longer to enjoy the kayaking and canoeing. Maybe another time.
