Wonderful home- clearly well taken care of -probably one of the best VRBO I’ve stayed at! The hosts were super responsive to the few questions I had and the house was incredible well stocked with anything you could think of needing, plus immaculate. Will definitely stay there again.

Perfect cozy getaway

My husband, three kids, and I truly enjoyed our stay at this cozy spot away from home. It was comfortable, convenient, and trendy. The amenities were a huge plus! Kids enjoyed the games and we enjoyed the books. The hosts were communicative, there were ample supplies in the kitchen and bathroom, and it was super quiet and just pleasant overall. I highly recommend this place! We will most likely be back :)

Perfect

Our group was 2-65+ year old adult couples. Because of the small size of the house,I would call it a cottage. It was very cozy and well appointed with newer appliances and updated kitchen and bathrooms. The beds and furniture were clean and comfortable. The sitting ara in the back yard was appreciated. The location was excellent for easy access to freeways and major roads. The television was had a fully loaded app package. Everything we needed was on hand or easy to aquire. I highly recommend this property for a cozy stay.

Great Stay for Small Group

Stayed with 4 adults. Very clean and comfortable. The location and proximity to everything was perfect for our trip. Very reasonable house rules. Easy check in and check out. We dined out for all of our meals and did not end up using the kitchen, so cannot comment on that amenity, but it looked good. My only critique for the property is that one of the two bathrooms, which is attached to a bedroom, has a sliding barn door with large gaps that are a bit awkward for privacy. Can't fault the owners on this one, as the construction of that space makes it very difficult to put any kind of door there. Thankfully, the bedroom door can be closed for added privacy, but can be a little awkward if you're sharing the space.

Cute bungalow with great amenities in Ferndale MI neighborhood!

Perfect house for a small group to stay in, with three bedrooms & two full bathrooms, and a quiet backyard, in a residential neighborhood in "Funky" Ferndale, Michigan! It's a short drive, or a walkable distance, to the many shops & restaurants in Ferndale. We loved the diversity of the locally owned restaurants in Ferndale. And we loved the locally owned shops too! Perfect for a weekend getaway!

We wanted to extend our stay so badly, but we knew we had to leave. ☹️ You definitely have a gem right here. Wish you more success and definitely will be referring people whoever comes to the area.

Great stay in hip location

Everything was as advertised. Clear communication with owner. No issues. Everything we needed was there. Check in/out was no hassle. Ferndale is a really cool trendy location - it's not too far from downtown and only a couple of blocks from the main drag of Woodward. Would definitely recommend and if we make it back to Detroit, I will stay here again!

A cozy home with everything you need.

This home is clean and cozy and has everything you need. There is a cute coffee bar waiting for guests, bottled water in the fridge, and we felt immediately at home. The neighborhood is quiet. Even though it is close to railroad tracks we never heard the noise and we felt safe in this neighborhood. The owners really have thought of everything and there was plenty of space for our family of 4 (including 2 teenagers).

Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This!

The Sweet Spot in Ferndale was absolutely immaculate and well-appointed. The hosts have thought of EVERYTHING and Christi was helpful every step of the way. Our kids our school-age (6 and 8), but there are plenty of extras in the house for those with a little one. It couldn’t have been better suited for our needs. LOVED it!

Cozy Delight in Ferndale

We knew we were in for a special home-away-from-home as soon as we pulled into the driveway. The house was immaculate and decorated with both style and comfort in mind. Clearly the hosts know how to make guests feel welcome and pampered. And what a delight for our 6 and 3 year olds to have fun books, games, and other toddler-appropriate toys to enjoy! They were having such a good time in the house that we had to work to get them out the door for Legoland Discovery Center and the Michigan Science Center (both of which were so easy to reach from this wonderful Ferndale location). We hope this property is available again when our next visit is scheduled. Thank you to the hosts!

My husband (and co-host), Jeff, and I have enjoyed traveling to many different places in Europe and the United States- fast forward 10 years and now we spend our time a little bit differently with 3 children at home.
We both grew up in the beautiful Irish Hills & have lived in the Metro Detroit area for the last 14 years. We just can't seem to leave all the wonderful opportunities and activities this area has to offer.
We are dedicated to hosting a memorable experience while you stay in our home. Please contact me with any questions you may have.
Cheers!
