Parish House Inn in Ypsilanti, Michigan










The Parish House Inn in Ypsilanti, originally the Parsonage for the First Congregational Church on North Adams Street, this 1893 Queen Anne House has been totally restored to its former Victorian elegance. It was moved to its current location, still within Ypsilanti's Historic District, in 1987.

Step through the rose covered arbor into the private patio area and relax in a comfortable chair to read or chat with friends. Follow the stepping stones to the clematis covered sitting area to watch the ducks floating by on the Huron River below, or follow the path to the river-walk garden filled with Hostas, roses and day lilies. In 2003, the innkeepers are celebrating their tenth anniversary at the inn: “It seems like yesterday that in the Fall of 1993, I was about to complete my last full time semester at Washtenaw Community College. I only had a few more classes to take before I had earned my degree in Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management, and could finish them in the evenings. So while looking for job opportunities in the newspaper I spotted the ad for "Innkeeper wanted.." So I answered the ad, was hired and moved in to become the full time manager. Just four years later, my husband and I decided to take the plunge and buy the Inn. We have never looked back, and hope to be here for several more years. Over the years we have changed the Inn building, amenities, and policies to meet the wants and needs of our guests.”
