Wonderful short trip

Gorgeous home is exactly that. We came to Detroit for a short weekend getaway & to visit the Henry Ford Museum. We booked this house because of the photos, & the ratings.We were so happy with this house. Sharon is so amazing & easy to work with. She gave easy instructions for checking in & out, & she was super responsive if I asked her any questions. The photos look amazing, but the house is even more amazing in person. Extremely clean like even under the beds & baseboards clean. The house not only extremely clean, but really comfortable & decorated beautifully. Everyroom is spacious, with beautiful art, she has thought of everything plugs & usb ports in every room, soap in all bathrooms, cozy little slippers for walking around the house, Detroit snacks, kitchen fully stocked for anything you may need to help make a meal, the beds & bedding were so cozy & we all slept great. She has things labeled, & organized for easy use. She has manuals for things just in case you need to know how to operate the coffee machine or other items. She has a lovely coffee bar set up for use. The basement was so much fun. Two different video games, & foosball was also a hit with my boys. She also had tons of board games family friendly, & some adult humor ones. The driveway & side walks were shoveled too. It was close to shops & restaurants everything about 15mins away. We felt safe in the house. We loved everything about this house my noys already want to go back. Thank you so much.

Great home for families!

We had a wonderful stay at Sharon’s place. The communication leading up to our stay and during our stay was great. We traveled with another couple and our children, kids were 2, 3, and 5, and we all had a wonderful time. The downstairs game room was a hit for all, and the backyard was great too. Close to downtown and other activities! I would stay here again.

Perfect for our needs

We stayed here during WSU graduation weekend and it felt so cozy. Check-in was easy and lights were on for us when we arrived. The home was decorated beautifully and equipped with snacks, drinks, cozy socks & slippers. Holiday decorations and Christmas mugs filled with goodies were appreciated and jolly. Sharon was very quick to respond when we had a couple questions. The teens loved the downstairs games, fireplace and large TV. The only thing that was different from previous reviews I read was that there was not a driveway gate to shut our cars into the backyard. There was plenty of driveway parking in the back and there was security lighting, so it was okay. This was a clean, lovely place to stay.

Great House!

This house is so nice! There’s plenty of games and activities if you want to have a rest day. All of our family loved the house, it is an old house and has many furniture pieces to fit the houses aesthetic. The property owner is very sweet and checked in multiple times to make sure we were okay and had everything we needed. There’s a nice little backyard the kids loved running in. The claw foot tub was one of my favorite things about the house! Overall, amazing experience and we’re very happy we booked this house!

Business trip felt like a getaway

A place I’d definitely go back just to stay and enjoy the space…. And why not take a bunch of pictures. My business partners and I went for a company convention and we’re not able to enjoy the space to the fullest as we were in and out all day. It felt like coming back home. The neighbors were nice and greeted us. Felt safe. House was very clean and provided everything!!!! Including snacks and socks to take. Checking in and out was very easy and host was always available.

Better than the pictures!

My friends and I stayed here for a bachelorette party weekend and we were LOVING the adorable interior and exterior! Sharon truly did a great job making this home incredibly inviting and fun. The backyard was much bigger than it shows and we enjoyed the bonfire pit at night. The house is stocked with all the essentials you need! Sharon was also amazing with answering all of our questions fully and quickly. We felt incredibly safe in the area, especially with the smart locks on the doors and the fact that you could close the gate to the driveway. Would 100% recommended staying here!
