About Ali's Place
Built for connection, comfort, and unforgettable game day gatherings.
Meet Your Hosts: Steve & Alicia Frenette
We are Steve & Alicia Frenette, and we purchased our Ann Arbor home back in 1995. When we first got married, Steve’s job and our families brought us to the area. Because Steve is a proud University of Michigan alumnus, living near the football stadium was an absolute must for us! After decades of making memories here, we finally built our new addition this past year to fulfill a dream we’ve shared since our honeymoon. We can't wait to share our home with you.
Where a Honeymoon Became a Place for Others to Stay
It all started on our honeymoon, where we fell in love with the warmth, charm, and connection of bed-and-breakfasts. That experience stayed with us long after the trip ended. Back home, that inspiration turned into something real. We added onto our house and transformed it into a bed-and-breakfast near the University of Michigan Stadium-creating a space where comfort meets community.

More Than a Stay: A Chance to Connect
We don't just rent out a room and patio. We open our doors to new people, new conversations, and new stories. We rent our room and patio so we can:
Meet new people
Hear their stories
Share meaningful, simple moments
A Home That Grew Into Something Bigger
Ali’s Place is more than a place to stay—it’s a reflection of what we love most: connection, conversation, and community. Every guest brings a new story, and every stay adds to ours. We’d love to hear yours and help you plan your visit. Reach out to us to get started.
