Room for Rent in a spacious 3000 sq ft house in Okemos, approximately 4 miles from MSU

Hi! I work full-time at MSU and I’m in search of a quiet visiting scholar, international student, doctoral student, post-doc, law or med student, or new faculty member to rent a room in my house for any part of the spring 2026 semester (with possible... extension into the summer).

Here’s a description:
- fully furnished 12 x 10 bedroom with walk-in closet on the 2nd floor (include a full-sized bed, a dresser, a desk, and a bookshelf)
- Bathroom (with double sinks, tub, and shower that is shared with my kid when they’re home from college)
- Off-street parking spot in the driveway
- Use of kitchen and living room space (on main level)
- Use of home gym equipment (in basement)
- Use 2nd floor laundry facilities (right next to bedroom)
- WiFi and utilities included
- House cleaning included
- Lawn care and snow removal are covered by the homeowner (but help is always appreciated!)

Also know: I am a single mom with two teenagers (one is a junior at the U-M and the other is a senior in high school who is only here half time and lives in the basement). I also have a cat and a very sweet golden retriever (dog). No additional pets are allowed.

I would love to make a 3-6 month agreement but will consider shorter terms for the right tenant/situation. Full background and security checks, along with credit checks conducted on all tenants. Visiting scholars and international students will need to submit proof of their role at MSU.
