Work-Ready Home - Game Room, EV Garage & Deck - Walk to Downtown

The Home Base Built for Extended Stays

East Oakland is a fully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home designed for guests who need more than a standard rental — traveling professionals, relocating families, remote workers, and anyone who needs a proper home base for a week, a month, or somewhere in between.

This is a move-in-ready property. Everything is stocked, updated, and set up so that your first hour here isn't spent figuring out where anything is.

Work, Unwind, Repeat - The dedicated workspace features a proper desk setup and fast WiFi — built for real productivity, not just a table near an outlet. When the day is done, the game room (ping pong, foosball, board games, TV) gives the group somewhere to land that isn't just the couch.

The living room anchors the home with a 65" TV and surround sound. The basement fireplace handles Michigan evenings. Step outside to the private deck for grilling, outdoor dining, or just getting some air — the gas grill and outdoor seating are ready to go.

Sleeping & Space:

Bedroom 1: Queen
Bedroom 2: Queen
Bedroom 3: 2 Twins
Sleeps: 6 guests | 3 Bedrooms | 2 Full Baths
High-end mattresses throughout
Modern décor and updated finishes


The Kitchen - Fully equipped with new appliances and all cooking essentials. Seats the full group at the dining table. Grocery delivery available through our guest portal — arrive to a stocked fridge if that's easier.

Parking & EV Charging - Free on-site parking for up to four vehicles plus a private garage with a Level 2 EV charger — a daily rate applies for EV charging. If you're driving electric, this is handled.

Location — Central to Everything

Downtown — walkable
Michigan State University — 10 min
Sparrow Hospital / McLaren Greater Lansing — under 15 min
Lansing River Trail — nearby for running, biking, walking
Potter Park Zoo — 5 min

Long-stay and monthly rate inquiries welcome — contact us directly


We're Gilson Property Group — a professional hospitality team that operates this home like a hotel, not a side hustle. Every stay includes a hotel-style check-in through our virtual front desk. Guests complete a brief identity verification through our guest portal prior to arrival, and a security deposit or damage waiver will be presented at that time.

Our portal is also where you'll find our full concierge menu: grocery delivery, airport transportation, welcome baskets, and special requests — handled before you arrive so day one is seamless.

Nice location, No air in third room

The house is nice, location isn’t great. There was no foosball’s for the table but they ordered more. The biggest problem was there was no air in the second story room. The last night we weren’t even able to sleep in that room because it was so hot.

We very much enjoyed your well appointed property in Lansing. We used the kitchen to prep both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinners for our elderly parents to enjoy at their condo. Will definitely keep this on the list for our next trip to visit family!

Good pick!

So we decided to come up from Houston and rent this property. I’ve gotta say that it was a little different in that I had never been in a property with a basement. That said everything was very nice. There were a couple of things that I didn’t care for, but that would not stop me from renting this property again. First of all the driveway is very narrow. It would’ve been nice if there was a bit more room as we drove a large SUV to get there. Also, the road in front of the property is very busy. The traffic noise did not bother me, but getting in and out is a bit tricky. This property has a very nice kitchen and patio area, but since it was snowing, we didn’t go outside. Also, we drove to a different area of Lansing, but I realized that this property is very well located and you’re within minutes of a lot of businesses. Would rent this property again.

Cute and Cozy

Our family wanted more space than a hotel room would allow when we recently attended an event at MSU. While small, this charming home was well updated and stocked with everything we needed. The location worked well for us as it was close to MSU. We were a bit surprised at how busy the road was that the house sits on but as country folk we are just not used to busy roads in general. Overall a fantastic stay at an extremely clean and well updated home.

Clean, cute, & convienient!

Our family of five had no problem staying here for two nights while we were in the area. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and dishes. The bedrooms had good linens and pillows. We loved the light filtering blinds, but also the blackout curtains. The ping-pong table, whose table, board games and TV in the basement also Were clean and well kept. Communication from the host was great and we would recommend this to anyone needing to stay in the area. The only thing we would comment on: is maybe rethink the configuration of the room with the twin beds. The trundle we pulled out and made an L shape, but the desk and dresser made it difficult to move about the room when both beds were used . We noticed the neighbors had a little outdoor table and chairs, that might be a nice addition to the backyard for future guests.

Fabulous home & incredible property manager!

I wish we had found this home four years ago when our son started at MSU because it is the PERFECT home away from home! Our three-generation family stayed here for graduation weekend and truly enjoyed our visit. The house was immaculate, with plenty of comfy spots for everyone. The game room space in the basement had so much to offer in the way of games and entertainment, and the large, new washing machine and dryer were much appreciated. The kitchen is well-appointed with pots and pans that were in great shape and offered plenty of counter space and room for everyone to move about at meal time. The beds were super dreamy, and the bathroom was spa-like. We could get to and from campus quickly and easily, and our favorite spot, The Soup Spoon, was just up the road. But what truly set this property apart from all the others we stayed at over the years was the property manager, Josh. He was INCREDIBLE! So responsive and helpful, not to mention informative. I can't recommend this property and management company enough!!!
